What about getting cups sewn into your dress? That's what I'm doing. (I'm a C-cup, but I do want a little more "umph" for my wedding day!)
I'm a small B as well, also planning on having a sweetheart neckline. In Canada, we have a store called La Senza which is similar to Victoria's Secret. I bought a stick-on bra from there, which is basically the same idea as chicken cutlets, but it's two cups that have a front closure and are adhesive. Whenever I'm getting dressed up to go out somewhere, I like to wear it underneath another bra for ultimate pushup, especially if i'm wearing something low cut!
I had cups sewn in my dress, but they didn't do much to create cleavage - so I use my NuBra, upon the suggestion of another bee here!
Basically it's a sticky, backless/strapless bra, and the two cups adhere separately, so if you adhere them further 'out' (i.e. more space in the middle, in my case so the skinny end was just covering my nipples, if that's not TMI, haha) when you clip them together, they pull your breasts in to create cleavage.
The bee who suggested it said she usually wears a padded bra with it to kind of even it out, since it does leave the bulk of your breasts in the middle of your chest, which would look weird if you were wearing something thin/clingy, but with the cups sewn into my dress, there was enough structure that you couldn't tell, just saw the cleavage in the v-neck of my dress. :)
ah that makes total sense, I bought a NuBra a while ago, and yea every time I really pushed my boobs together it left so little on the outside it looked like a uniboob! I will try that out though, I really love the NuBra I dont even notice it's there, and the FI really loves peeling it off LOL
HAHAHa.... I should warn you, by the end of the night, when I took mine off, it was almost a solid sheet of sweat underneath (pretty gross!), so it might not be the sexiest experience :)
Being an A cup bride, I used one of my old strapless wonderbra and I had it sewn into my dress. She cut off the straps. Worked out for me.
I am a small B - I had cups sewn in with a little padding, sweetheart neckline and rouching to make me look a little fuller - I love how my boobs look in this photo haha
For great push up, use clear packing/mailing tape to tape your breasts up and together. Will make even the smallest A cup look like a C! You may have heard of doing this with duct tape, but do not use duct tape unless you want to rip your skin off at the end of the night!! The clear packing tape will hold up nicely and comes off easily with no residue!
@stranger1: haha I figured by 2010 we would have figured out a better way to do it, I guess maybe the nubra is the closest thing to actually looking like a real bra but being tape? I dont know what my FI would say if he found clear taped boobies underneath my dress lol!
@PitBulLover: YOU look boobulous! :D
I'm also pretty small so mommy and i went and bought some boobies at Joann and had them sewn into the dress (boobies=cups). My dress is a Vneck and poofs a little around the boobs so my lack of boobs made it look...odd.
Funny story about cups and dresses though: we went to DB and they gave me a dress to try on that was like 2 sizes too big. We tried adding cups...then swapping them out for more voluminous cups...then putting both cups in at the same time before the girl decided to check and see if they had closer to my size. They did!! then i only needed one set of cups to look normal. It was weird.
I wore this baby. It worked out wonderfully. I am a small C and I was worried about looking flattened out in my dress.
@zippylef: WOW now that's what I'm talkin about! I was wondering what I'd end up sewing into my dress, looks like this is it, thanks!
I bought a dress with good padding in that area, lol!
@zippylef: Pretty sure that is what I am getting now! Thanks!
i am going to have cups sewn in and wear a push up bra too.. i usually only get a good push up effect if i wear a bra with straps, so since my dress is strapless i have to wear a strapless bra and that minimizes the push up effect

Yes I just made up that word :D
I am a small B, and since I'm wearing a Maggie I already have a corset. I'm not worried so much about making my boobs huge with chicken cutlets or anything, but I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for an awesome pushup? I'm getting my dress altered to a sweetheart, but I'd love it if the girls were able to pop up a bit more. I really hate those longline bras I dont think they do anything.
