Hi Weddit!

My wedding dress is an off-shoulder/strapless dress with a thin, stretchy material. I am already planning on wearing a slip or shapewear to deal with lines, but I need to figure out the cup issue. I have tried wearing this adhesive bra, and the smallest size is still too big for me. Since they only sell by cup size, and cup sizes vary wildly based on band size, I was hoping someone could point me to a brand that might be a better fit.

I lost about 50lbs last year so I am still struggling with fit on a lot of things, especially since most of my shopping is done online due to the pandemic. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

The skyfall tank is a racer back cut but it also has thinner straps at the top so it’s not very bra friendly and I wouldn’t recommend that style if you’re looking to wear a bra. I would either go braless or wear a strapless sticky bra ( Niidor Adhesive Bra Strapless... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075V4JSWR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ). If you’re looking for a long tank top that you can wear some kind of bra with I think the Sunday Best Honor tank and Carey tank look great and they come in a long cut!

Love it! So my dress wasnt a sweetheart but was strapless. It was a ballgown type on the bottom half. That being said how the top half fit determined how well the dress stayed up. I felt better on how the dress was secure with a strapless bra, yet didnt like the extra tightness going around my back because well these type of dresses are already fitted. I had it altered with the bra on but yet didnt really want to wear it. I found this bra on Amazon and it was perfect! I bought two sizes and then found out which fit best, then returned the incorrect size. Comes with bra and bonus items. The bra stayed put, provided what my strapless had, and I couldnt even tell I was wearing it. Just in case you are having the same dilemma in a strapless, hopefully it would save you the research! Also I have worn it since and its still staying well.

Adhesive Strapless Bra

I really love this sticky bra. It's comfortable and stays in place.

This doesnt seem to be available on amazon rn but hopefully something similar is. I bought it for my engagement shoots and that sucker literally held on for over an hour while underwater in my dress! Ive worn it six or seven times since then and it works great every time. I went to a wedding yesterday and tore up the dance floor hardcore in a dress thats open back/sides and the thing held tight the whole night. I actually had multiple women tell me they were jealous of my dd+ boobs that were perky while braless to which I thought LOL

Thank you! Yes it is! Here’s a little video to see some movement! Looking back I should have hemmed it a bit but it was a somewhat last minute purchase but I think I loved it even more than my first dress!

I wore one of those backless sticky bras. I got it on amazon

To be clear for OP, she doesn't have breast tissue. That's just fat. She uses a pair of silicone pads that clip together. They stick on your chest far apart from each other, then you pull them together and clip them.

Then she sticks breast forms inside her bra.

I like these, under thin fabric especially because there's a good shape. It took me about an hour to get used to the feeling but now I find them comfortable and have worn to work. They don't come off with sweat. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W4NNK24?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Your best bet is a sticky backless bra. I’m a 32A and I totally understand with feeling a bit weird when going braless. I recently wore a backless dress and I bought this type of bra and it worked really well! They’re actually really sticky and stay in place. It feels like a normal bra and didn’t make me uncomfy at all (and that’s saying something!) I recommend nipple covers if you’re wearing a halter top or tank top if they don’t cover your sides/under boob that much. Does that make sense? Because the bra I linked you with could show a little bit on the armpit area if you’re wearing something like a halter top dress, but they’d be perfect for the dress type you’re saying. Good luck!

Sorry I don’t have a rec for a strapless bra but I loved these.

I got quite a few uses out of them and only wore them with certain dresses/tops and even my wedding dress! Can’t recommend them enough! I don’t sweat a lot so for me I didn’t have an issue with it but just a heads up.

Chicken cutlets. They stick on your skin and You space them out a bit on your breasts. Then when you clip them together it brings them in. Throw a bra over. https://www.amazon.com/Niidor-Adhesive-Strapless-Invisible-Silicone/dp/B075V4JSWR/ref=pd_aw_sim_0?pd_rd_w=7UkAE&pf_rd_p=696ba2a0-edbe-4810-9756-c5c2489ce47e&pf_rd_r=QKPMB6RE6FGHE6XV6JPB&pd_rd_r=fa5bb90f-1e03-4765-8151-46d5001b1241&...

Tape. Yes. It’s an option. We did duct tape back in the day because we couldnt find proper boob tape. But sprinkle baby powder so when you remove the tape you don’t rip off your skin.

Don’t do the makeup. It’ll mess up your clothes and look like your chest is dirty. Unless it’s in dark lighting.

I bought these two as a test, wore them all day, did push ups, etc. Both stayed in place throughout the day. I will try on the first linked bra with my dress tomorrow. Second linked worked, but the side panels are visible.

Just picked up my dress after 3 fittings with the seamstress. Considering how huge this dress was initially, I’m pretty happy with how she got it to fit me, except now I wish I had asked her to sew in bra cups - we never discussed it and I just realized without them I look really flat in the chest. 🤪 Sorry the main point of this post was to get your opinions on the necklace, but if anyone also has good advice on what I can do to have even just a little bit of fullness in the chest for the dress would be appreciated! I just ordered this and this on Amazom but I’d never worn these types of things before so I’m kind of nervous. If anyone can share their experience on whether they hold up for people like me who are incredibly small chested, I would love to hear about it! :)

Anyway, as to the main point of the post - I wasn’t planning on wearing a necklace initially, but now I feel like the hairpiece and earrings won’t be enough? I found this necklace on Amazon but I don’t know if it goes with my dress and the accessories I already have and was planning on wearing (i.e., the hairpiece and earrings). Would love to hear your thoughts!

as a large-chested lady myself, this one on amazon is great :)

however, it depends. i grew a couple sizes (was a 32dd, am now a 32h) and now honestly, built in bras are my thing, with a little nipple covers if need be. best wishes and congratulations! <3

I really like this bra, it seems to stay on really well even after multiple uses and in hot weather.

I wear my kippah every day and I am bald. I use double stick fashion tape. It works really well. Link below for the brand that I use.

I used to safety pin my shirts closed but now I se fashion tape on my shirts. It hasn’t hurt any and I also wear silk (I’m female) they last 6-8 hours for me.

The trick to making them stay is clean breast area with alcohol beforehand to get rid of oils that cause the bra not to stick. You can clean the adhesive with a tiny bit of water and your finger to get grime off after wearing.

like u/nottheseriousme mentioned

There are a ton of different versions. They work well but I find sweating at all makes them come loose pretty easy but it also depends how tight you make it probably.

I would remove the extra cups and then get some lift tape or lifting inserts like this: Adhesive Bra, Breast Lift Tape Silicone Breast Pasties https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKYYHJ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_P901G4JE4BSGPXDPMNQH

20 minutes start to finish on mine! My dress just needed to be hemmed, but we also talked about what bra I'll be wearing underneath (she recommended this one, one cup size smaller than normal - in case anyone was wondering!)

Would something like this work? I used to use something similar, they just stick on and add a cup size or so. No bra needed.

These never worked for me, they just added more weight to my chest and sagged

Edit: I thought you meant these chicken cutlets haha my bad. I’ve never tried the ones you’re referring to

I have this one and it’s great. I had to cut out the little side poles as it made my arms hurt but I have to do that for most bras so it wasn’t anything special. You can do it with a small beauty scissor and it not be noticing. bra I also have this one for when I need almost nothing but support. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS other

I had cups put into my dress, but I still wasn't getting the look I wanted. I bought these on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075V4JSWR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Wedding hasn't happened yet so I can't comment on how long it lasts, but I tried it on and thought it looked great. I am an A cup though so not sure how well it would work for a larger chest.

My dress also has a deep plunge and an open back.

I ordered these on amazon and I’m hoping it fits good enough. I have heavy breast so a tape or silicone wouldn’t hold it together for very long 😰

Yep! $15-25 will get you a decent pair of inserts or a silicone adhesive bra on Amazon, shipping included. :)

Personally, I got two adhesive bras, one B cup and the other an A cup to nest inside it. The adhesive can be used to stick the two together. I leave the plastic on the nested A cups and use them as inserts, since the adhesive is mostly for enhancing cleavage and for wearing backless dresses.

Here is an example item. This isn't a specific recommendation — the price is good but I haven't read the reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010LH95GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xXOVDb79W21GJ

Five hours with 40 people is a very significant exposure. I think you'd be fine with an N95. The N95 standard is all about consistency in the sense that no mask produced must dip under 95% filtration, but in practise most of them reach 98-99% filtration because manufacturers don't want to "fly close to the sun" so to speak; they're in trouble with CDC if they put out masks at 94.9%. I gotta say that even the most comfortable N95s are fairly uncomfortable, it wouldn't be pleasant wearing them for 4-5 hours. An alternative would be wearing a KF94 with fashion tape on the nose wire area, and possibly on the chin or sides to improve the seal even more. I did it for a hairdresser appointment and it works well. It sticks strongly to your face, but not so strongly that you can't remove the mask, it prevents fogging of your glasses and it stays sticky even after removing and putting it back on a few times. Don't forget to wear security glasses as well.

I used one of these. I'm normally around a 42DD and ordered the E and F. E ended up working best for me. It didn't give me as much lift as I wanted, but it gathered my boobs together enough that the cups in my dress did the rest. I can't speak to how long it'll stick, though, as I eloped and only wore it for about 5 hours and didn't sweat much during. It's reusable, though, so you could do a test run if you'll need to wear it longer/might get sweatier.

I couldn't use tape because I had a plunging neckline and it would have been visible. These worked for me.
