Underwear

Hello!

I get married 4 weeks on Saturday and I have just bought my dress.

It is a strapless Ivory Sacha James gown, It was a sample sale dress so I assume it is last season, therefore there isn't an online picture on their website so if anyone can help with pointing me in the direction of past seasons photos that would be great....

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can suggest any good strapless basques/bustieres that are reasonably priced? I have small b00bs so I need something with good padding and support, but I have a wobbly stomach and hips, so I need control at the bottom half.

I've seen some on M&S and Debenhams websites, but as they are quite pricey £40+ I would like a recommendation if possible.

Thanks

    I had to wear a strapless bra for my mums wedding earlier and got my bra from asda...i was impresses tbh I have quite reasonable pair and have never wore a strapless before as think they never really support you but this one was fab. I didn't even mess with it anytime during the day always a bonis..I need one for my wedding too so I will be getting another of these as the wires came out of last one.
    If you worried about your wobbly bits what about looking in peacocks they have some reasonable priced pulll in smoothing underwear :)
    hope it helps what date you getting married? mine is in 4 weeks too :D

    Do you mean you haven't seen the dress? or trying to find photos so we know what it looks like? What is the name of the dress and we can have a looksie.

    Does the dress have any boning in it?
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
