    My dress is backless and I am looking for some support.  I am a small C. Has anyone tried this bra?  Does it give some lift?  Does it slip off with sweat?

    I have tried it.  I love it for underneath certain kinds of tops, but it does slip off when I get sweaty.  Also, it doesn't really provide any lift, just allows you to pull your "girls" closer together for more cleavage.  I'm also a C and wouldn't recommend it for the big day.  Can you get cups sewn in to your gown by a tailor?

    I haven't tried it, but in my days at VS I sold many of them....I worked their for 5 years and never had anyone try and return one or complain about it at all.  I also had a friend who loved them, but I agree that the bustier you are the less likely it will work for you..this is the problem with any adhesive bra for larger cups, (my friend was a small C and it worked fine for her)

    I've used the NuBra original version as well as the Featherlite.  I agree with the previous posters that it doesn't really provide much support - it's more for "coverage" and some slight cleavage enhancement.  I did prefer the Featherlite since, as the name implies, it was lighter and more comfortable, in my opinion. Oh, and it does tend to not grip as well on hot, sweaty days!

    I LOVE them and have never had problems with them sticking...even on hot sweaty days (as long as my skin is dry when I put it on!).  I wore one on my wedding day (also had cups sewn in but was going to change into another dress later where I would need it).  I have near nothing to support, so I can't comment there. :-p

    I have a strapless adhesive bra from Frederick's which I love. I'm a 30D and strapless bras generally fall right off, but I feel so much more secure in an adhesive. Like gasiaraine said, if your skin is dry when you put it on, you shouldn't have any problems.

    I had a NuBra which didn't do too much for lift, but was great for coverage. It did not do well under sweaty conditions, which meant I couldn't wear it out dancing, which was a shame!
