Wedding Outfit Help
FingersCrossed_2
Posts: 165 Forumite
Hi All,
I have a wedding at the end of May and could do with some outfit solutions. I have the skirt and top but need help with bra and shoes.
Bra - My top is strapless and although I could wear it without a bra it will definitely look better with one. Plus, i'll feel more comfortable knowing my ladies are tucked up safely! Can you recommend any good strapless bras which will be comfortable for a long day and that will offer good support. I have some but find they sit quite low and I could do with a bit of a lift. I am a 34C/D.
Shoes - I have a knee length white skirt with aqua flowers on and an aqua coloured top. I am thinking white shoes would look best, probably sandals as will be bare legs. Is there such a think as pretty sandals that are actually comfortable enough to wear, walk in and dance in??
Thanks all. Don;t want to spend hard earned cash and find i've bought stuff that is just as uncomfortable as things I already own. All suggestions welcome.

try M&S for a moulded strapless braIf my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!0

Personally I can't say I've ever found a strapless bra comfy! The most luck I have had is with a debenhams own brand. I think I might try la senza this summer tho. If you worry about the bra slipping perhaps you could use clear straps - they don't look quite as nice as strapless but for me it beats tugging the thing back in to place!
With the sandals I think it is just a case of being conservative with the heel and breaking them in before the day. Perhaps get quite a soft leather if you can. Also, think about the terrain you will have to cover during the i.e. does the venue have a cobbled path or are you likely to be on grass for the photos cos it may be wise to shy away from stillettos
Last year new look had some sandals with the tiniest wedge (about an inch) that were very comfy but don't know if they will have similar this year.0 -
Bare legs - no no no unless you have a nice tan and of course nice legsmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
34c/d is quite heavy. I'm a 38c and I struggle with comfort (and a fear of the bra slipping down) Rather than a bra, what about a mini bustier? Not a full corset but something which sits at the tummy. Can't remember what they are called.
Bare legs are great if you have a great tan but if not, I'd go for a 10 denier or finer tight/stocking/hold up.0 -
I am a 34D and found a nude moulded strapless bra from M&S was amazing! Very supportive and a nice wide back strap to keep it in place. It actually gives a lovely shape too! I had tried on many and given up when a friend recommended I try this one and I would definately give it a go if I were you.
Finally decided to start growing up when it comes to money!:j
