So What Happened?

Thank you all for your suggestions. I found the perfect bra at victoria's secret with clear straps and an extra extention to wrap around your tummy to make it low in the back. My mom made all of the bridesmaid, flower girl dresses and the guys vest and will also be altering the wedding gown. So she is pretty busy with all of that right now so i couldn't ask her to build in a bra. The bra i got was $50 but I will beable to use it for everyday also so it will get its wear. Again thanks for your suggestions. I checked many different places including the ones everyone suggested. Thank you!

Nordstrom has some awesome options. I'm lucky if I can get a size B cup, but I just bought a NUBRA ULTRALITE. It's kind of stick-on, push-up cups with a clasp in the middle to give a little cleavage. Great for backless dresses or I even use them with tank tops. Highly recommend them. Come in a box but ask a rep for help.

Soma Online may be your best bet. Without seeing the dress or your, uh - girls, I can't say which one would work but I am a perky 36 C and I wore this one to a work christmas party with a strappy low back dress and was comfy the whole time (http://www.soma.com/store/browse/product.jsp?&product...)

They also have this one that has straps but is made for low back dresses and tops: http://www.soma.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=102&a...=

anyways: good luck!

You may be able to have pads or a bra actually sewn in. Check with a seamstress!

Would the backless bustier type bra work for you? (I think that is what it is called!)

I have seen bras with clear straps that look like they are made of a clear plastic material. If you have the time and the money go to victoria's secret. They may have some good suggestions and styles for you. Good luck

Can't the dress shop where you bought the dress build a bra into it, so you don't need to wear a separate one? Just a thought.

I know that they make some sort of stick on bra that lifts that can be reused many times. They should work great for your size chest. I saw them at Kohls the other day while I was looking for a bra. I think I may have seen them at Walmart also. Good luck.
