Do you know if it is possible for my seamstress to add this bra into my dress? I want cups and we are not going to end up doing the bustier. I have been through 5 bras and all of them show in back (sheer back) and on side under my underarms. . I am still nervous with the pads the seamstress has. Seriously they are just pieces of fabric with no lift at all and I am a Dirty Delete. I need an underwire of some sort to feel comfy/secure. So instead of the bustier that you see in my pic below (under my dress), I will just have the spanx, then these (last pic ) sewn in cups with underwire. What do you think? You think it’s doable to sew this into dress? I don’t trust the stickies on the side all night…I heard they tend to get weak if you sweat and would rather her sew these in. The cups are fabric.
my dress with the bustier on and my spanx on.

@jessyrez: yes, she will be able to sew about anything into your dress.
You can even give it a try by using safety pins where you want it told hold and then trying it on. The stickies on those things WILL hold you in, especially with the tightness of the gown supporting you, but I know the feeling of wanting to be secure– especially on your wedding day!

@HobbyLobbyist: The bustier would have to be cmopletely cut up and redone. The back we would need to take at least 8 of the 13 hooks out to lower it and then lower the sides as well as you can see it when I lift my arms. Plus there’s boning in it and my dress already has boning and then the spanx, then the bustier has boning, and then the crinoline. That’s 4 layers…..it’st just all too much on top of one another. also in person (and a little in the pic) you can see where the bustier ends. It’s more noticeable in person.
