I'm a bridesmaid this fall and our dresses are backless (in a V down to the crack almost). I'm an A cup and I really need all the help I can get if I don't want to look like a 12 yrs old boy.

Things that won't work: the sticky stuff you put under the boobs to lift them up (doesn't work because I don't have anything to lift up). The crossover bras won't work either because the back goes down too low.

Any advice would be soooo helpful.

P.S. Please don't say that you'd rather have small boobs than big boobs. There are downsides for every size.

I don't know the style of your dress...

That's great! Thank you. The only thing is that they don't make it in A cup. :-(

Maybe I'll go to Sears and try a B and see what I can put in there to make it look real. Thanks though!

I would call some of the bra specialty stores in your area.  They generally have some of the more unusual designs for these problem situations.  Let me know if you are in the GTA as I can recommend a few to you.

I would call them before heading out, let them know your size and they can tell you if they have something.

Thanks, I'll try that. I'm in Ottawa.

you might try having a seamstress sew cups into the dress - i've done that and it's a lot easier than fumbling with stick on bras.

I swear by the "as seen on TV" stick on bras.  They're only $30 and they work like magic.  I have been using them for all by backless dress for over 5 years and never once had a problem!

The only down side is that they only go as high as a C cup.
