OK. so i went to mary's to get a corset or long bra or whatever they are. I got the one the lady recommended, but I'm not loving it. It holds the ladies well but isn't tight on the belly! It feels really loose. She didn't alter it yet, she said to try it on with the dress first, but its like a short lace material so I dunno how much it would squeeze in! The solid one she had me try on was good but it didn't hold the ladies in as nicely so she said go with the lace one.
Has anyone gone to bra tenders in the city? Is it worth the trip or are they both about the same quality and same amount of choices?
I THINK the one I got is this one. The straps come off. But it doesn't do much for tummy tucking! Any other contraption suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Re: Undergarment issues... Where to go?
I went to Mary's and got a long line similiar to this one. Is it Goddess. Mines needed to be taken in a little but they told me the same thing to try it with the dress first. I've been to bra tenders a long time ago and from what I remember, they are not the best place to go if you have extra large girls.

Looks like the Goddess bra. I got the same one and when I tried on my dress the bra cups are waaaayyyy to high. I went to another store and they said that bra is one of the largest so it's not recommeded for a bridal gown. All the seamstresses said I needed a demi-cup, so back to the drawing board I go.

I got mine from VS. It's under their shapewear collection. It's the low back bustier and it's the best one I have found as far as pushing me up and sucking me in

Re: Undergarment issues... Where to go?
Does blums or other stores have a wide selection for the plus size girl? I'm a 38 ddd and chubby lol so I need something to keep the ladies in place and perky without popping out at the top and a tummy tucker. I've always had problems finding regular bras to keep them up there so to go strapless is scary to me lol
