Band-aid over your nipples? I mean, you're um. BIGGER than I am in that department, but I would think band-aids would at least provide some coverage from nipple - eye poking and if your dress slipped a little, they'd just see a band-aid.
This might sound crazy, but what about nursing pads? They are generally thin, you can smooth the edges so it doesn't stand out, and they hide pokeyness pretty well :)
they make nipple covers specifically for this purpose :)
don't use bandaids! you can see the creases sometimes under the fabric - not something you want in your wedding photos. get the nipple covers.
What about something like this? It has a lower back than other bras. You could have nude fabric put under the lace so that your bra wouldn't show.
@lmbride: They showed through? Were they white or nude? Or was it the shape that showed through?
@Theresa90405: It was the shape. It looked very unnatural, to say the least!
I am a 34 DDD, and I free boobed it... soooooo comfy. But, I had a really structured tight dress with boning. I love your dress... nursing pads might do the trick!
@camrie: Thanks, one issue is that the dress straps don't line up with normal bra straps, so I really would need something strapless, I think.
I'm a 36DD, but I was quite pleasantly surprised by the sticky bra I wore as a bridesmaid in September. Are you certain that you followed the directions precisely when you tried them (i.e. washing the skin of your breasts and drying it before applying them)?
@GreenEyedMoon: It was a while back, but one I tried created some sort of skin reaction, and the other seemed horribly uncomfortable. I'm sure I read the directions and tried to follow them.
@lmbride: Do you remember what brand you used? I tried NuBra. I have HORRIBLY sensitive skin; I'm allergic to just about everything. That's why I avoided trying them for years and years. NuBra worked for me, though. I'm definitely a believer now.
As for being horribly comfortable... Well, I don't think they'll ever be the most comfortable, and I wouldn't want to wear sticky bras every day, but if you try placing and re-placing the cups until they lay just right, they end up okay. I had to try to place each one approximately three times.
I think nipple covers are the way to go, however, the nursing pads are a really creative idea! I've tried the band-aids before and they didn't work. I'm small-chested (but still concerned with nippage), and the NuBra shape didn't really work for me, but might work for you!
I had a similarly low backed bra dress and what I did was cut up the ends of another bra and sew them to my (high waisted) underwear, then clip the bra I was wearing to my underwear instead of to itself. Here is a picture of the back of my dress.
would this work? http://www.herroom.com/Le-Mystere-1155-Nude-Back-Convertible-Bra.shtml
the straps in the back are wide set and clear, you could use clothing tape to stick them the the dress straps or pin it, but they are clear either way. and it's low in the back. just a thought.
How about these breast nipple covers/petals? I think they would the trick!

Maybe you could speak with a seemstress? Or go to a place that makes bra's for specific measurements. I would think these people have seen/heard it all and may have a solution that could meet all your needs.
Oh and your dress is GORGEOUS
I agree with the nipple covers. Also, I've never tried this, but I hear you can somehow use duct tape or another type of tape underneath and around the sides to give some support?? It might be worth a try as long as you couldn't see it through your dress:D
I second the nipple covers unless you can find a seamstress to sew bra cups into your dress! Since it has a much higher front than back, it should be very easy to add a panel with a bra to cover any "poking problems"!
@GreenEyedMoon: One brand of adhesive bra I tried was Sassybax. I still have that one; it cost me something like $60. It adheres to the torso. It didn't create skin issues (except when taking it off...ow!) but it was otherwise uncomfortable. I don't remember the brand of the other one I tried. That's the one that gave me the skin reaction, so I threw it away. I got it at WalMart or KMart or someplace like that, and I think it probably cost $10-15. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a NuBra, however. I'm glad you were able to find a solution!
@babymilka74: That's ingenious! I actually had to read your description a few times and think about what you actually did before it all made sense! Did you wear a normal bra or a special low-backed bra? Wow...if only men knew what we go through to look pretty! 
@MrsE.ToBe : I think it's really, really close. However I think it's likely that the clear straps would peek out in the front (the dress straps cut in a bit). Also I think the back band of the bra might show through the lace because the lace part on the back of the dress goes down to about the natural waistline. It doesn't look like the bra back is quite that low.
@lmbride: I would definitely try out any nipple covers or petals that you might want to use, before the big day, since you had a reaction to the adhesive bra. I can't use bandaids or petals because not only am I allergic to latex, I'm also allergic to most adhesives. There is nothing sexy about skin coming off with the petal/bandaid!
@lmbride: Have you considered trying a low backed bra that is close to your skin color? That way if it did peek through the lace part, it probably wouldn't be noticeable. (You would definitely want to try this out first just to make sure.) If you need support I can't imagine that adhesives would do much of anything for you. I had the essentially the same issue with my dress (except no lace part, which made it even more difficult), so I know how tricky this is.
@porterhouse: Thanks. I understand what you're saying, but I've looked and looked and can't recall seeing anything like what you're describing. Most wedding lingerie is white or ivory.
Victorias Secret makes a strapless bra attachment that wraps around your body on your very-low back. I don't know if you can purchase the attachment w/out purchasing the bra though
I used this bra
only not the way the model is wearing it because I'm not as thin and that stomach strap was not flattering. Essentially, I wore it as a regular bra, just attached to my underwear instead. (I did not wear the straps as a halter like shown).
OK I know this looks rediculous lol, I feel like it may work to keep the girls in place for the wedding..

I have not been able to find a workable bra for my dress, which has a low lace back. The sticky bras are worthless and uncomfortable, but anything with straps shows and I can't find anything without shoulder straps that has a low enough back. My original idea of having bra cups sewn in was a no go because they showed through.
So, I'm leaning toward freeboobing, but I'm, well, uneasy about it. I'm a 32d and don't want to poke some guest's eye out while on the dance floor! Nippage is another concern. Is there anything that I can do to prevent major
?
