I usually cut the spaghetti straps off and replace them with wider straps - otherwise they cut into my shoulders. Transparent bra straps and a low-cut bra work for me.
unfortuantely VS has my cup size but not my band size. I could probably do a 40D but not very comfortably when it's not really designed for a full figure, so I really need 42D or DD :\
Try Nordstrom if there is one near you. You'll get fitted accurately and they have a really great selection of larger sizes (I'm 36DD/F/H depending on the company) that don't require special ordering. And I'm talking about cute bras, not lame-o, boring, industrial looking boulder holders. I will admit that they can be more expensive, but they are well made, long lasting and worth every penny.
Go in and try on, you won't be sorry. There is a line they carry called Freya that has a plus size line as well called Elomi. I've only seen the catalogue, but there are a couple designs that they do in both lines. And all are super sexy. You can look at the lines online and then hit up a store for sizing then have the store order & ship to you.
have you tried it without a bra? i have pretty huge boobs & they are NOT perky anymore & i was incredibly surprised that a couple of dresses i have in almost that same style provided enough support without a bra cause they were tight enough in the cups.
give it a try, wear it around the house for like an hr or so & see if you shift around in it to where you feel like you would need a bra or if its ok without one. its a beautiful dress btw! :)

the straps are convertible, so it could theoretically be worn as a halter.
