    I am a 34DD, looking for a longline or strapless bra - but it must have a low back as my Casablanca 1827 dips in the back. Also, I am NOT a fan of push-up bras that push my chest up to my neck - in fact, I wear minimizer bras often! I have been researching and researching...looking on this blog as well as others...and gooling. I have not been able to find anything that has a low back and fills the other items. Ugh...My Beautiful Bees...please help me :)

    I'd suggest looking at www.figleaves.com , they have a ton of stuff in more difficult to find sizes...

    Sigh.  I am right there with you, soon.to.be.person.  I am a 32G and my dress has a low back as well.  I looked at a couple of sites (figleaves, like Nexus-6 recommended, and also goddess.com), but no such luck.  I am having a corset bra custom-made in San Francisco . . . I'm hoping the price won't be too crazy!

    I had a low back V on my dress and wear a D cup.  I actually had my seamstress modify the only longline bra that would fit me properly.  She did a great job and it made my day SO much easier.  Perhaps you could talk to a seamstress about altering a bra for you...

    October2010 Bride - can you let me know how much that ends up being and how that works out? I may have to explore a custom made route.

     

    MrsK2be - How much was the alterations to modify the longline? If it fits in the chest, but does not have the low back, was it a complicated job, or fairly straight forward for the seamstress?

    I'm a 32DD, and I bought a Fantasie Ivory Rose Backless Strapless Underwired Bra on BiggerBras.com.  I don't think they carry that specific style anymore, but you might be able to find it elsewhere online!  It is GREAT, though I don't know that it'll be low enough for you.  You might check out BiggerBras.com- I've ordered bras on that site several times, and am always pleased.

    It was a very simple job for my seamstress (or so she said...)basically she just took what was a 12 hook back and modified it down to a 6 hook back.  IT still fit fine and provided plenty of support.

    I'm in exactly the same situation! my wonderful perfect dress that I adore has a low back and I always wear minimizers. I am a 32DD/34D and wearing a corset type bra pushes the girls OUT of the dress. when i have my minimizer strapless on it looks perfect- except that it shows in the back.
