Backless Wedding Dress... Bra? Tan Lines?! Help!

deedeelala · July 25, 2014

I finally decided on my wedding dress and it is a beautiful backless mermaid dress.

It took me forever to decide on my dress and when I tried this on I just absolutely loved it! Probelm is I did not think about the bra part and when I tried on the dress I wore a regular bra. I am on the smaller chested side and after 1 kid I WILL NEED some sort of push up.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what to wear? My friend suggested the stick on bras but I am not sure if those have push up.

Second problem, we arrive to Mexico on a Sunday and wedding is on Thursday. It never occurred to me to think tan lines may be a problem. Wearing nipple covers during the week may not be an option LOL How have you guys dealt with this in the past? My backless dress may make it an even harder challenge.

Thanks!!!!

LOVE your dress so so so pretty @@deedeelala. I am also wanting a backless dress and will just have to be super careful in the sun prior to the wedding. I plan to wear lots of sunblock and if I do tan my back just untie my straps to avoid tan lines. Depending on your dress you could get cups sewn in. My sister did that with her strapless dress and it looked great! Even better than with a bra on.

I never thought of getting cups sewn in!! That's a great idea!!! Thanks!! & yes I guess sunblock will be my best friend. I tan really easily though so it may be a big challenge :wacko:

LOVE the dress so elegant! I would also explore sewing in the cups. Might be more comfy than a stick on bra, although some do have padding and push ups, my niece got one for her prom and she said it was very comfortable.

Good luck for the tan :unsure:

I tan super easily too! So I will have to be careful with that as well. Luckily we are only there one full day prior to getting married so it should be okay!
