Wedding dress without bustier?

Follow the seamstress's advice. She can make it fit properly without changing the look.

Do you have a picture of your dress? That might help if someone has dealt with a similar situation on a similar dress.

I would get a second opinion, my seamstress made the bust fit like a glove for me without a bustier so I know it can be done! My bodice also has some sheer/see through parts

Hi Tasha! I think a picture of your dress would help us envision it better!!

Is the rest of the bodice too loose? Or is it lacking the structural support & boning to keep the dress up?? Would adding straps help?

You can definitely take your dress to another alterations place for a 2nd opinion as well!

Here’s a pic of my dress! It’s see through in the middle, sides, and back but does have boning and a built in bra already in the bodice. All the seamstress did so far was tighten the sides about a few inches per side but since then, the bust area doesn’t fit me well. She is saying the only way to fix this is a bustier underneath but I don’t want to have a bustier

Thanks!! Now I can definitely see that this is a tough one!

I wonder if there's any way to reinforce the existing boning? Or would wearing a bra or sticky tape underneath the dress help at all??

It's a beautiful dress, but it doesn't look the most supportive!
