As you can guess from the title, I’m looking for a little guidance with what to wear under my dress. I have been eyeballing the BHLDN Creamline Bustier, but I cannot find any serious reviews. Has anyone out there tried it and what did you think? Did the seams show?

 

Facts about me and my dress:

 

I’m short, have an hourglass figure, a little fuller in the bust (32D) and shapewear (spanx specifically) doesn’t really do much for me. It smoothes a little, but it doesn’t change my overall shape a bit. I know that a corset will, but I don’t need that much more tuck at my waist and I’d like to eat food and dance at my wedding 🙂 

 

The dress is a trumpet style gown with some boning. While it needs adjusting (mostly hemming), it fit well without any shapewear at all. My thought is I don’t need anything too constricting, just pretty with a little lift up top and that won’t show under the dress!

 

Thank you all in advance!

I found bustiers very hit and miss. I ended up trying about 5 before giving up and just getting myself properly fitted for a strapless bra combined with one of those silicone nubra things (which worked great to get some lift). There are so many different variations of body type that you really can’t know how well something will work for you before you try it on. My advice would be to get the one you are interested in and return it if things don’t work out.

If your dress fits without a bustier, I would just get cutlets for the extra “oomph”!
