    My Claire Pettibone Rosa dress is in YAY! Do you guys think I need cups? The girl at the bridal salon says yes-but I don't think I do (maybe I'm in denial). Opinions will be appreciated! Ignore the dumb face I am making.

    Cups sewn in?  Or actually silicone boobies in there?  Cups would be convenient..no need for a bra if you have those.

    I think it is great the way it is.  I think the dress needs a steam as well, and that will help the bodice lay more smoothly...  If you are comfortable without, I'd say go without!

    I think it looks great the way it is. If you want a little extra oomph then I'd have the cups sewn in.

    Get the cups not necessarily for extra "oomph," but to help the dress cover you, say, while dancing. It will help the fabric stay put and keep you inside the dress. You can get a thin cup if you want - the cups are for structure and you can decide how big you'd like to be :-). Lovely dress, by the way...

    I agree with the general ideal above. You dont need any extra oomph, but the cups also help with a feeling of security and "privacy" (no one needs to know if you get a little cold!)  :)

    I have a similar cut dress and went with cups.  I didn't like the feeling of having nothing between me and my guests but a little fabric!

    I would say no. I actually like this style of dress without crazy clevage. Plus, you look like you're filling it out just fine - it doesn't look like the cups are too big.

    I would go for thin cups just to add a little extra material to avoid any embarrasing situations (if it's very thin material, I can't tell by the picture). Beautiful dress!

    Nothing padded ... this dress is made for a woman with a figure like yours. That being said ... definitely something to keep them in place and..... smooth lol The last thing you want is to be dipped or spun and one pops out!

    Your dress looks great as-is, but just for the sake of coverage, I'd probably go with cups.  Love the dress on you!

    Um, if the lady at the bridal store doesn't like how the boobs of the dress fit your boobs, tell her to change the dress, not add fake boobs! (Unless you're lining them so your nipples don't show). And tell her to pay for it, since she's so opinionated.

    P.S. I think the dress really suits you!

    I think if the dress is unlined - you should put a thin lining cup in there.  But, as far as cleveage, I think it looks natural right now - I wouldn't add any more boobs.

    Honestly? Yes. Not to "add" anything just to support what's there
