Triple D bust vs backless dress: which will win?

I have a question for the busty brides out there! I love the backless style dresses, but I am a 34DDD and need a TON of support in that area. Otherwise I may be tripping over the girls all day. So my question is: will adding sewn-in cups to the dress offer enough support? Or is there a better way to...

    I am about the same size and found a strapless bra that I will use. I use the site adore me for bras and stuff now and they support quite well.

    I'm a DD and I needed a long line. My seamstress had to build up the back of my dress to cover the bra. You can't even tell she built it up.

    Im the same size and have an illusion back dress that I can wear braless because it has boning. I did NOT expect that to be enough, but I tried on the dress without a bra to be sure before I committed and it really was enough support.

    I'm a 34DDD and I'll be having cups sewn in. My dress has straps and more of a keyhole back so I'm still getting the support. I think it really depends on the style of dress.

    I did sewn in cups and since my dress was altered to fit me perfectly, it worked perfect!

    I'm 38dd ( I think I need to be refitted though). I've looked up the bras with no straps and back- and they don't seem to have them in my size- unless you

    Really have to look and special order them? I'm concerned about

    It when I get a dress.

    The best way to do it is with a corset sewn into the dress! Good designers will often incorporate an inner corset sewn into the dress lining, and boning to stiffen the bodice and provide support. i'm a DD and am wearing no bra under the dress at all, because the inner corset provides such great security and stability.

    Or if your dream dress doesn't have an inner corset, it may come with a corsetback, or you can have a dress altered to a corsetback. these are suuuuuuper figure-flattering and suck you in like nobody's business, and that dress stays in place like it's glued on! I never felt more supported than when I was trying on corsetback dresses that were the right size to lace all the way up. And I'm actually regretting not getting a corsetback put into mine - it gives such great waist definition!

    So I just went undergarment shopping this weekend. I'm also DDD. I have a low back and found a corset that will be close. The shop also offers free alteration on the corset if the dress seamstress just pins it - so I tried it on with the first hook undone to see how it feels. I had no idea that corset alterations were a thing (let alone free) so I was pretty psyched about that. If you go to a good undergarments shop they might offer that as well. The corset was about $75.00.
