What are you wearing under your dress? Can anyone recommend something for a 30DD

I have a strapless gown with a lace bolero and I think I will wear a strapless basque thing under it. I am a size 30DD so the best I have found is with bravissimo and it £60 (!). It is hard to get small band sizes at cheaper prices and if I wear a 32 it will slip down and I will be pulling it up all day!

I not sure what to wear, my dress is all boned so no bra i think. Will go for nice pants and hold up and the usual blue garter - i know this is a bit boring should be going for the whole suspender thing - i wonder how many people actullay wear them under their dress0

My dress is strapless and the corset is boned so there is enough support there for me to be able to not wear a bra. I have tried it on with underwear and without but i feel comfortable without so thats what i am doing. I will be wearing some lovely silk knickers tho and my lovely garter but i am in 2 minds whether to wear tights or those slim magic thigh and stomach pant things under my dress.

two of my bridesmaids have brought it and said it was amazing.
One of my friends said her dress had wire/cups put into it so she didnt have to wear a bra with it - is there anything like that you could have done perhaps?also just found this - not a bad price: depends on the top line of your dress really -

Ultimate wonderbra works wonders at keeping them up! You can get it from debenhams etc, but (weirdly) I've found amazon cheaper.

Are you sure you need something? I never believed I would go braless as I'm a 32E and I hate how saggy my boobs are. But my dress had such amazing boning I didn't need anything. In fact, I insisted on trying it on with a bra to start with as I didn't believe the shop girls and it looked bad with a bra as the two different supports are fighting each other. Side shot:

Anyway, if your dress doesn't provide the support I'm another champion of Wonderbra's Ultimate Strapless. I have never had such support and cleavage with a strapless! Normally they flatten your boobs and pull them about but this is amazing. Only downside is it does NOT look sexy lol. But it does when you're wearing clothes over it.
Debenhams stock it so you can try them on - I had to go up a cup size in it as it came up pretty small.
I splurged on some nice pants and hold-ups.
TBH though, after such a long day and then having to help take about 200 hair pins out of my head, hubby barely even noticed them. *sigh* Save the sexy stuff for the honeymoon.
