Strapless longline bra?
NicosMommy
Has anyone tried a decent strapless longline bra good for larger chests? I'm DD and I desperately need a strapless bra for a wedding but I have no idea what brands or styles are best. Is there any strapless out there that will give bustier women good support? I am getting frustrated because so far all the comments online are very negative and say that there is no strapless bra on the planet for larger breasts. If that's true, then that's a sad day for my girls.
Answer
No strapless bras on the planet for a rich bosum? If that's the case, who's dressing Queen Latifa? Camryn Manheim? Macy Gray? Missy Elliot? or classics like Leotyne Price and good golly - Ella Fitzgerald! (and so-so-so many others).
In the current era, there are few long line garments in general, which makes it tougher in heartier sizes, but the concept of support does not stop at 34B and a DD can certainly be corseted. Going strapless depends on the garment's excellent fit, longer line, and full boning (so expect a substantial garment) but with a few modern touches: lighter weight fabrics, latex & lycra combinations, etc. A DD can most definately go strapless. From the number of wedding undergarments I have hand beaded, and first-time strapless bridal parties dressed, I swear it is so.
For your own comfort, and sense of security in your first garment of this type, I would suggest a full (rather than plunging) back, and a longer long-line, that is, a full merry widow that comes down over the hip. When you dress, you are "rising" and settling your rib cage into the garment (not your breasts); you are verifying your breathing, which will be more vertical and projecting. You check your range of motion, that is, the comfort of your back (and inhalation) as you reach forward gently, or while you are in military-straight backbone, lean side to side (as in smoothing your skirt to sit). Only then do you adjust your bosum, in it's lovely corral. Remember: you are in High Costume and are prepping for the full day, so give yourself some time to dress (and do verify that ribcage to begin).
And for movement take cue from the Sommelier (the wine server): one does not turn over a bottle to serve, one glides hortizontally and gently inclines. A bit of a frank and constructed view of this is the serving Playboy Bunny's "Bunnie Dip" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playboy_Bunny (think: curtsy for the Queen) but I believe you could work out your own style very quickly and with confidence, in a well fitting garment. Ideally, practice before the day - without the dress on - so you can laugh and sweat and enjoy yourself. You'll soon view period-piece movies in a whole new light (and realized why the ladies did not slouch - it was not the morals); and... might find the imperious structure an interesting sensation worth the elegance of your gown. In dressing, your job is to breathe and to move with grace. The garment itself will address "presentation", and you'll feel your royalty (indeed) . Take a look at these, and good luck to you.
