Longline Bra and Backfat

Definitely a little disheartening since I've finally got my waist down to 28 inches, but it hasn't helped my backfat much. Definitely don't want to wear a longline if it's going to make me look bulker!

I don't have advice on a specific longline bra to try, but I am not planning to wear any bra. I didn't want to add any thickness to my torso and I find strapless bras to be incredibly uncomfortable. Do you feel like you absolutely need the support of some kind of bra? Going braless or having cups sewn into your dress are options that would reduce back fat.

I was pondering that, but the problem is my bust size (DDD cups). Not sure if sewn cups will cut it for me.

Definitely liking the feel of support, but that's probably because I'm a former corset wearer. Not really liking the backfat part, which was also a problem when I used to corset.

Gotcha. I'd say try on the dress without a bra, just to be sure it's not what you want.

I'm a ddd and not wearing a bra. The seamstress even told me not to and she is going to put in cups. What did the seamstress recommend?

When I had the long line bra on, I was spilling over the top! Without a bra, the girls were controlled. You can always wear something to slim your tummy if that is something you are concerned about.

I had this issue with all the longline and torsolette bras I tried. Then at my fitting, we took them totally out of the dress and I wore it with nothing underneath but my Spanx. It was magical - the neckline softened, the backfat disappeared. Now, my dress has boning and an inner corset, which already do half the job a longline bra would be doing. If yours doesn't have either of those things, they can be put in.

For the record, I'm a 36-38 DD.

What kind of dress are you wearing? Strapless? Maybe you could get Spanx instead of the longline bra.

Pondering Spanx as well. Here is the dress: http://www.bhldn.com/product/lucca-maxi-ivory

Eep! I will make sure to sit down during my next dress fitting (this Friday). Thank you for the tip!
