I need a backless bra option for a dress I'm wearing to a wedding this Sat...I used to have the NuBra chicken cutlet things and those were ok but postpartum I'm a full cup size larger (a D now) so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend anything good!

I'm larger chested and never found a truly backless bra that made me look good. I ended up getting a corset style that was cut low across the back for more support. Would something like that work with your dress?

@rattles: no:(. It's totally backless down to the bottom of my back:(. Thank you though!

I have the same NuBra thing that you mentioned. I think they make one that's cloth instead of chicken cutlets but I don't think it would be any more supportive!

@tororojo: ditto! I was going to suggest the thin fabric covered nubra. Doesn't have the extra weight of the chicken cutlets.
There's also this extended thing you can buy at VS or a dept store that makes any of your bras with straps into a low back bra. Not sure if your dress is okay with a strappy bra?

@PrincessBaby: well I'm sorry not to be more helpful, but it sounds like a fabulous and sexy dress!

No advice but, ow ow! Sexy mama! I think my DH would keel over if I ever wore a completely backless dress.

You are 4 months PP, breastfeeding, and you can pull off a backless dress?? Damn! Good for you.
That's all I really have. Hope the new nu-bra works out, but I'm sure you will look great.

Haha! I will post a pic next weekend:). It's really pretty:). It's a cobalt blue satin cocktail dress from BCBG that I paid a fortune for bc I couldn't find anything else for DH's BF's wedding! The wedding is in New Orleans so let's hope it doesn't get totally destroyed! We have big plans to party! My mom is keeping H (she lives an hour away) and we got a hotel near Bourbon and plan to party all night. That's where DH and I met and we used to have so much fun in that town:). I hope we can hang!!!
