As long as your dress is fairly heavily boned and fits perfectly, you shouldn't need a bra. Are the straps inside to put around your waist or are they for attaching straps to the dress?
I dont have a dress yet, but when i tryed on dresses the consultants (at 2 differnt stores) told me i would not need a bra with a corset dress. And I am a DD. Trying on dresses the girls were good braless.
I'm not married yet- but I am a DD as well and in high school I wore a corset dress to prom with no bra with no issues. As long as the boning is sturdy and you tie it tight, they're not going anywhere lol.
I didn't use a bra, the corset held everything in place. I did have cups sewn in so that I didn't need the dress taken in at the bust
@SpecialSundae:The straps that are inside go around like a bra strap would, theres one that would hit were your bra strap would across your back and one thats probably 4-5" lower and they have the bra hooks on it so maybe it's meant to be worn without a bra?
@mzlouis2b:I thought they looked so much better when trying them on without bras! With a bra I had that folded over flopped out boob look. My seamstress wants me to have everything before going over to her to start fittings but I think I'll go into the first one under the assumption I'm going to go braless and see what she thinks. The dress is almost a perfect fit so I might be good. I just don't want to all of a sudden flop out while dancing!
@Miss Fish:I'm glad someone my size has experience! I'll take your word for it but if I flash my guests I'll direct their horrified faces to you! ;)
@ENarcy: If its fitted properly, I dont think the girls will fall out. But hopefully some married ladies will let us know :)
I'm a DDD and I will be wearing a stapless. My dress is not steel boned. I collect corsets for role play and I just lived a different lifestyle a few years ago where I would wear them out to the clubs or parties.
The cheap ones with plastic boning will buckle after a while. You def do not want to end up like this:

That's a dress with cheap boning. Not enough support to hold up her girls. I've had a cheap corset do this to me before.
@Miss Tattoo:AHAHHAHAHAHAH god that photo NEVER gets old. I love that that is your example!
@Miss Tattoo: I literally GASPED aloud. ZOMG, no. Let's keep the girls tucked away until later.
@ENarcy: I've tried on dresses with those straps in them. They're to hold the dress on you while you're laced in. You should get enough support from the dress. I'm a size 34F and most dresses gave me plenty of support when I was trying them on.
I have a corset dress and do not plan to wear a bra. I'm a B-small C, and I felt no difference with or without it, and I figured without, I don't need to worry about it showing in the back, adjusting it etc. I have cups in my dress, so it's comfortable.
I am a D and did not wear a bra with my corset dress. It looked the same with/without a bra to me, and it held up fine all day.
@Miss Tattoo: OMG at that pic, lol. I am a F cup, wore a corset dress once and did not need a bra.
I'm a small D and I went braless with my dress. I wore Maggie's Fiorella, which only has an internal corset. I felt very comfortable and had no problem with the girls!

I bought a bra today ($70, ugh!) and it was a basic strapless. The lady at the bra store assured me because I have a corset dress a strapless is all I need. The more I think about it she's obviously right because of how tightly the corset can be made. But after looking at my dress once I got home I see that there are 2 bra strap type things inside with the same hooks bras have on them. I'm a well endowed girl (D-DD) depending on the bra and was wondering if any of you ladies of similar size have gone without a bra in a corset style? I'd love to be able to take this bra back and regain my $70.
