best bridal bra - the search in on!

[rockzilla]

Ladies,

Anyone have suggestions for strapless bridal bras? I need something:

-Strapless
-Low back
-Comfy
-That gives the illusion of cleavage to someone who is type "A" if you know what I mean

Also, I'm 5'10" so it has to fit someone with a relatively long torso.

Here is the link to my dress: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/ordered-my-dress-today-pics-inside.92469/

Thanks,
RZ

Nubra! It''s an adhesive bra, backless and will give you cleavage. My bridesmaid, who has a small chest, swears by it.

I bought a Davids bridal one for my friends wedding after the wedding all the bridesmaids got out of the dresses and I was the only one that had a bra from there and I have HUGE welts on my sides I was actually in pain and it iched! So for my wedding I bought a Fredrick''s of Hollywood one and so far it seems more comfortable although I have not worn it as long but it gave me a nicer figure.

This is the bra I''ll be wearing, in white. It''s a convertible strapless bodysuit with a nice front control panel for those of us who want to eat at our own weddings. I''m a slim 34-almost-B (similar build to yourself based on the pictures), and the 34B size fits me well and certainly augments the girls. I''m not sure if the back is low enough for your dress, but it might be worth a try if you have a Bali store nearby.

I just bought myself a Fredericks corset-bra yesterday after a ton of issues with my Davids Brida bra. I am so in love

with my new one! I''d say check it out if you have one nearby.

Jstarfireb, I would love something like that but I''ve always wondered: how do you go to the bathroom without taking the whole thing off?

I figured someone who owns one would be able to clear up this issue for me

Oh, easy, elrohwen - it has a hook and eye closure between the legs!

ETA: Although, Rockzilla...somehow I glossed over the fact that you're 5'10", so it may not be the best. I'm 5'8" and the cups lie a little on the lowish side for me. It may still be worth a try, though.

Ahhhh, that makes soooo much sense. Lol. Thanks!

Haha... Sorry to thread-jack, but this reminded me of a Bridezillas episode I saw a few weeks back. (I *think* it was BZ, anyway?) A woman purchased a pair of Spanx, wore them, and had to pee sooooo badly before walking down the isle. She couldn''t get out of the ultra-tight Spanx, so she tried to cut a hole in the crotch so she could pee. (??? Am I the only one who thinks this could get reaaaalllly messy?) Anyway- she hole she cut was too big, so the Spanx completely split, and she had to cut/pull the rest of them off... The things people do

Oh gosh, I went through so many options. In the end I had a VS Very Sexy strapless bra, a nubra, and a stretchy hook-and-eye corset at the ready on my wedding day.

And which did I end up wearing? None of them--I wore absolutely nothing at all

Anyway, for your situation it sounds like a nubra would be a good option if you can stand it--some people think they''re great and some people (like me) find them UBER-uncomfortable.
