I am having them sewn in. My bridal shop said they would do it for me.

I'm not sure if it would be the same for a wedding gown, but when I was a bridesmaid, I had cups sewn in to a dress and it cost $18. My salon has a fixed price for alterations on my wedding gown, so maybe it would be included...

Mine comes with cups sewn in it already...i definitely wouldn't want to wear one of those uncomfortable bras.

My gown is low in the back so I'm having cups sewn in and I don't think it's more than $20. I can tell you for sure in a couple of weeks when it's done! And I actually bought the cups myself because my bridal salon said they wouldn't get theirs in for a couple of weeks. They were only like $9 at a fabric store.

I am also having cups sewn in. I know that the cost is not included with the alterations but I think it's only $15-20 extra.

I bought a strapless low back bra. I like the bra, because it sucks in my stomach as well. h

And not to mention, I wanted to wear the whole getup with the thigh highs for my hubby.

I am very well endowed (DD).....would the cups sewn in thing work for me? I was starting to get stressed out thinking about having to go and buy this big set-up for myself!

I am going to get cups sewn in and wear a bra...I make the walls jealous! So I need the bustier and the cups. I also want the whole thigh high corset thing for the sucking in power and for my new hubby!

Actually I'm wearing both!

I know it seems strange, but the seamstress said she wanted to add cups to keep the form of the gown and I'm wearing a long line bra I'll try to get the name and the bra was very comfortable.

Edited to say:
I remember the name of the bra Felina

Re: is anyone wearing a bra with their gown, or getting cups sewn in?

My sister will have to have it done for her dress because the back part goes down in a V, so you would see strap. I think it's going to cost her $15, but she's getting the regular alterations for free since it was included in price.
