Ok, I need advice on where to get underwear for a difficult dress fast. I live in scotland, and cannot get into shops easily because I go to boarding school, and even at home am over an hour and a half away from edinburgh. So it needs to be able to be bought online or in edinburgh.

The problem is this:

I always need to wear a bra. Im a 30 FF, and they sag terribly. So braless or tape isnt really an option at all.

I have a brilliant leavers ball dress, but it has a very low back. It is a halterneck type, and also has a low plunge neckline. so goes about a centemeter or two below the in between boobs strap on my low cut dress bra.

So I need a backless, very, very low cut, halterneck bra that will also give reasonable support. Does such a thing exist? Help pleeeeaasssee! It also cannot give me a VPL.

there is two weeks before the ball, and If I cant wear this dress (stunning, worth a lot of money, and second hand so freeeee!) I would need to either buy another dress (I have a very tiny budget of only £120, and also need to buy shoes and underwear so that is basically impossible) or wear my stella macartney dress which is beautiful... but also very short and I wore it to another event so people have already seen me in it which is not cool. Or wear an OK red dress but it is nothing special and this is a really big occasion, so i'll feel gross.

Thanks guys!

I recommend checking out www.bravissimo.com - 2 weeks should be enough time to deliver as long as you make sure it's listed 'in stock'
I'm a 30ff/30g also, and I'm not sure about backless AND low cut in the same bra unfortunately! bloody difficult!

maybe something like this: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/bodies-and-basques/ultimo/moulded-bras/ul13-details.aspx?colour=Nude (can go halterneck)

or you could combine an existing bra with this: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/everyday-essentials/braza/strap-adjusters/bz01-details.aspx?colour=White

Heh. I had someone recommend Bravissimo to me, but I've been less than thrilled with the help at the local shop here in Oxford. :no:

I've had some luck at M&S, but the place that I'm heading out to do some shopping at this weekend (for my wedding dress..eek!) is Debenhams. Tons of selection there.

Oh there is a bravissimo in edinburgh! I got a bra there once before and it fitted really well.

That miracle thong body looks almost perfect, although the front is a bit too high. I may get the dress altered at the front though, as I've been doing a bit of googling and have found nothing suitable which is bigger that a D. I think everyone has seen enough of my cleavage to last them a lifetime anyway - someone even made a facebook group dedicated to my boobs! :lol: So it may not be a bad thing to have a slightly less low cut dress...

I'll go around the shops incase I can find anything better, but that looks like it will probably be the winner.

I know I'm a little late, but I just had to joke that you could wear a regular bra that matches the color of the dress, and you could tell people it came that way. :p
