Re: For those wearing a strapless dress...

I haven't really thought about it yet either. I will probably be purchasing a corset... Don't know yet!

I think mine is a corset, too. It is a strapless, long-line bra that goes to my hips. There are a dozen or so bra hooks in the back. It really makes you look hourglass shaped and is pretty comfortable (I wore it for my sister's wedding). Good luck!

I'm w/ you Liz. If the 'girls' are big cups are out of the question. Shop around till you find a corset your comfortable in. YOu are going to wear it for at least 12 hours

The seamstress where I bought my dress (a strapless demetrios) highly recommended wearing the long-line bra - down to the hips. Anything that stopped at the waist would show.

Good Luck!!!!

Re: For those wearing a strapless dress...

I will definitely get a corset bra. I hate regular strapless bras. Whenever I wear one I always seem to have to keep adjusting it and pulling it up. I don't know if everyone has this problem or it is just because I am big chested. When I was trying on dresses I tried some on with a corset bra and it was so comfortable and it wasn't going anywhere! I'm sure you can get one that doesn't have boning that will show through. I think the long line ones that go down to your hip instead of your waist would be the least visible.
