I was thinking about going to Bratenders too having heard many good reviews -- I was wondering if any of you actually brought your dress to the fitting there? I have no idea how it works -- I pretty much exclusively wear VS cotton stuff, so not a lingerie kinda girl. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-268068 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:24:12 +0000 nybride09 268068@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>thx. will check out bra tenders and town shop. </p> <p>hhcheung2000 - i don't know. i'm a c/d cup and would prefer not to be moving around too much since the dress is empire cut and not fitted in the rib cage area either. if i can't find anything, that's what i'll do i guess. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-267838 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:12:56 +0000 hhcheung2000 267838@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Can you have bra cups sewn in or do you really need a bra?&nbsp; The store I went to that sold me the bridal dress had bras that they ordered that were made to be sewn into the dress.&nbsp; That way I won't feel completely naked on the day of the wedding.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-267807 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:46:05 +0000 hamster 267807@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Your dress is beautiful!&nbsp; I second Bratenders, as well as Town Shop on Broadway/82nd. They have an extensive selection and are experts at fitting a good fit. Good luck! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-267625 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:36:29 +0000 MissTC 267625@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>ps love your dress! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-267621 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:35:26 +0000 MissTC 267621@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I went to Bratenders last week and it was awesome.&nbsp; They have everything.&nbsp; I tried on one bustier that was cut really low in front and had a low scoop back that would probably work.</p> <p>&nbsp;They're on the west side, somewhere in the 40s.&nbsp; You need to schedule an appointment in advance for a fitting.&nbsp; They are a little pricey (I spent $150, and the one I mentioned above was $100), but they make it so easy.&nbsp; They really know their stuff.</p> <p>&nbsp;Miss Swan posted about them too a few months ago. &nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-needed-strapless-bra-corset-bustier#post-267618 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:30:56 +0000 nybride09 267618@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ladies,&nbsp;I need your help. </p> <p>My 1st fitting is this Saturday (7/25). I've got a great strapless gown and I'm really excited about it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/bridal_09.html">http://www.nicolemiller.com/bridal_09.html</a>&nbsp;(it's FV0006, in the top left corner - for some reason I can't get the actual photo to link)</p> <p>I've just found out that the bustier I got weeks ago doesn't work.&nbsp; The notch in the neckline goes down further than my bustier. </p> <p>I went back to the store to get something else but they didn't have anything that worked. </p> <p>Do you have suggestions of where I could go (Manhattan preferably since I don't think I'll be able to trek to the outerboroughs during the work week) to get a bustier that is cut low in front and scooped (though not necessarily backless) in the back?</p> <p>Any suggestions would be very much welcome!</p> <p>Thanks </p>
