Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I need a lot of support, and I really want to be lifted - and if you are big-chested you know how hard that can be. Esp if your gown requires some special kind of straps for your bra. Sooo....what is everyone doing? Any recs for a place to buy a really good, supportive bra that can be worn with a dress? Would a corset be a bad idea?

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
One bridal shop I went to, they gave me a GODDESS bra to try on with the dress... It was great.. very supportive..
Not sure where to get one yet.. maybe they have a website..

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I got a good one at Bee's Lingerie in Great Neck
They tailored the bra to me - which was great!
They discount 10% off the marked price...

I am a 38DD and they are going to make my dress tight enough for the first time in my life I will not have to wear a bra!

That's where I got mine. Except I didn't want lift -- I bought a minimizer, so I could flatten my 'torpedos' Bee's is great though -- they will work with you to find the best bra for you.

Older women working there - helping you put your t*ts in these boulder holders!!
MIne fits great and holds my stomach in too

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I bought a waist cincher and it really took inches off my waist. I got that at Lord & Taylor.

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I didn't wear an all-in-one. Just the bra and the waist cincher and control top panty hose. (Not very sexy!)
I would say if you already have an all-in-one, the cincher would be too bulky. Its not thick, but I wouldn't wear it over something...

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
my bridal shop gave me an all in one ( braselette) to try on, but it wasn't exactly my size. She said I can bring one in or buy one from her, but I am worried they won't have my size when I go for my fitting.
Does anyone know of any store where they fit the bra/corsette to you, that are in Manhattan?

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I'm guessing cups since a bra might make you look bigger no? I'll have to see what the bridal people suggest!

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
Mary's corsetiere in Woodbury is wonderful. I got a bra there and they fit it to me. It wasnt expensive either. Just go as soon as they open cause they tend to have a wait.

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
When I went to the bridal stores they gave me a long line bra. I think I'm going to get that, it pushes you up (not to the chin, just where they are supposed to be ) and flattens your stomach.
There is a good bra store in Oceanside, Mary Lerners I think its called, in the TJ Max shopping center on Long Beach Road.

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I'm a 36H.
Mary's in Woodbury didn't have anything in my size (I only found out after waiting for over 2 hours), so they sent me to Georgette's in Hicksville. They carried my size and had what I needed. I now get my everyday bras from Georgette's.

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
I am wearing a long-line bustier by Le Mysterie. It's great- it's soft so the bones don't dig in but it lifts and holds at the same time. It's expensive ($100) but totally worth it! I got mine at a specialty bra shop in the city but I know they sell them at Nortstroms.

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
Goddess is the best by far. I went to a place in Rockville Centre. The ladies in there were very nice.
Miriam's is good too, but it was a 3 hour wait to be fitted and I just didn't have the patience for that.

Can you tell me where Miriam's is and the name of the place in Garden City? I am on a mission!

Re: Big-Bust Ladies: What Bra for the Wedding Day?
The store is called Bra Smyth- they are on Madison Avenue between 72nd & 73rd on the east side of the street. The bra costs $110 there but they will do minimal alteraltions for free including tapering the sides (which I had done). They are great to work with- I highly recommend going there! It's expensive but well worth it! It comes in nude & white.
