Okay, so, I recently had to figure out what bra to wear with my bridesmaid dress, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey. I thought I’d share my experience in case any of you are going through the same thing.
First off, I looked at the dress. It was a beautiful, flowy thing, but the back was pretty low-cut, and the straps were delicate. Immediately, I knew a regular bra wasn’t going to cut it. I didn’t want any straps showing and ruining the look.
My first thought was to go strapless. I dug through my drawers and found an old strapless bra, but when I tried it on with the dress, it just didn’t feel right. It wasn’t giving me enough support, and I was worried it would slip down during the wedding.
So, I started doing some research online. I read a bunch of articles and watched some videos about different bra options for tricky dresses. I learned about adhesive bras, backless bras, and all sorts of other contraptions. And I found that some people say when choosing a strapless bra, look for one with a wide band and silicone strips on the edges to ensure it stays in place throughout the day.
I decided to hit up a few stores and try on some different styles. I talked to the sales associates, and they were super helpful. One of them suggested I try a convertible bra, which has straps that can be rearranged in different ways. She also said, “A bridesmaid should wear the exact undergarments that she plans on wearing the day of the wedding to her dress fitting.”
I ended up trying on a bunch of bras – adhesive ones, backless ones, and even some that were basically just sticky cups. Some were okay, but none of them felt quite right. They were either too visible, too uncomfortable, or just didn’t give me the support I needed.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I found the perfect bra. It was a low-back, longline bra with clear straps. It gave me the support I needed, stayed in place all day and night, and was totally invisible under the dress. I felt confident and comfortable, which was exactly what I wanted for the wedding.
So, if you’re trying to figure out what bra to wear with a tricky dress, don’t give up! It might take some trial and error, but the perfect bra is out there. Just remember to consider the style of your dress, try on different options, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
- Consider the dress style: Is it backless, strapless, low-cut? That will narrow down your options.
- Try on different styles: Don’t be afraid to experiment with adhesive bras, backless bras, or convertible bras.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help: Sales associates at lingerie stores can be a great resource.
- Prioritize comfort and support: You’ll be wearing this bra for a long time, so make sure it feels good and keeps everything in place.
And most importantly, do what makes you feel confident and beautiful!
