Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks Katcha! I had my final (hopefully!) fitting last night. The straps she made aren't quite what I invisioned but my sister said they looked good. I'm just so glad I can wear a regular bra I don't really care anymore! I had a loooong hunt for a strapless bra or one that I could put clear straps on. I ordered a body shaper with convertible straps from Lane that I thought was going to work until I tried it on with my dress. The body shaper didn't really do anything...it gave me really bad panty lines you could see through the dress and the bra cups were so puffy and firm that it made the dress too small in the bust. I couldn't find another bra in my size anywhere I checked...even the speciality bra stores. So this is the best solution! And I think it looks good and so does my sister so that's really all that matters. And yes the empire waist is really flattering!

I'm glad it worked out that you could havewider straps added so that you can wear a regular bra too. I tried ona couple of strapless bras and thought - no way! All these did waspush me up and allllll over the top of my body including towards thearms too. Not an attractive look at all. I bet you look very nice inthe empire styling too.
