    Some of the makers of those dresses sell optional boob tubes, made in the same fabric, that you wear under the dress. So strapless bras and ones with straps if you tie the dress in the right way, could still be worn.


    Here's one on etsy

    With the boob tube:

    My bridesmaids have the BHS ones in merlot. One bridesmaid is a size 14 and is big busted and was also worried about not wearing a bra as it just wasn't possible. We ordered it anyway and had a play and we managed to get a style that covered the tops of her arms and she will also be able to wear a bra with. It took a bit of playing about but she is really happy in it and looks stunning.

    We're also looking at BHS, they have the bandeau top for underneath if they want to be a bit more secure. I think my BM will wear hers in the strapless style so that she can wear a bra without having the extra top with it.

    I have the twist and wrap dresses in the ocean blue colour and a couple of my bridesmaids will have a style that you can wear a bra with, they really look lovely on. I got mine for £47 quid each with the discount codes I had!

    Thanks so much I love the bhs ones in ocean they are gorgeous ! My maids are all stunning and if I put them in a bin bag they would look good!! But I'm small but very busty and I feel better with a bra on that's for sure so I know how they feel!

    That's great you can get a boob tube to go under mmmm I'm excited now !
    As I love the flower girls dresses that match them ! :))

    I had the BHS twist and wrap for my wedding last month. Two of my BM's were on the bigger side and had no problems as all with the dresses.

    One worn a body stocking in nude so if it was visable it just looked like skin the other one wore her's strapless (tide tightly) and a strapless bra

    Everyone loved their dresses and so did they

    Can I ask is the matching Bandeau top from BHS as I didn't think they did them.

    Yes it is. Instead of going through the wedding section, just search for Twist n wrap and they come up along with the dresses. They're not in all the colours though
