Wedding woes--bra advice needed!
Hi friends!
My name is Jamie, and I've been reading this community for almost a year. Y'all are awesome!
Here is my current problem--
My sister is getting married in December. I am the maid of honor and we are working on deciding which bridesmaids dresses to choose for the wedding. My other sister is also a bridesmaid, and she is worried about finding the right bra to wear with her dress. She would prefer to wear a dress with straps so that she could wear a regular or halter style bra, but because she has not tried on any the dresses yet we don't know if that's going to be an option.
As of now, my sister (the bride) likes this dress the most in holly.
We aren't really sure if we are going to try to match the dresses or have different styles for each person yet, but regardless my sister who is being fitted is going to need to find a more supportive bra. She is not much different in size then I am (around an 18), but she carries more weight in her breasts. If I had to guess, she is probably an E or F cup, but in the past she has refused to be properly fitted for a bra. I am worried that she is going to give up and refuse to be in the wedding if she has trouble finding the right bra, and I think finding her a properly supportive one would be a good first step in improving her body image.
I have looked through the history some but figured I would ask everyone--where do you find the most supportive strapless bras? With a strapless dress like the one above, do you think my sister would have better luck with a corset/bustier? I know many people have recommended Lane Bryant for strapless bras here, but are there any other brick and mortar stores that would offer a selection for her to try on?
Thanks so much!
