How backless? There are those long line corset style ones, but depending how big your boobs are, they can be a little like "putting your boobs on a shelf" (per my sister with very big boobs). They support mostly from the waist.
The stick on cups that look like chicken cutlets do NOT support a big chest.

I'm a full C cup and love the NuBra. It doesn't really lift, but it does shape and pulls them together a bit. And stays in place!
ETA: I think this is the "cutlet" thing the PP didn't like.

@anandam: I'm a 34E/DDD . Do you think k it could work for me?

@anandam: yes that's the one. I felt like they stopped being supportive enough after a C cup. Maybe my boos just needed more support than others though?
I think we need to know @Rainbow Sprinkles: 's definition of big boobs.

@Foodnerd81: very backless. I found a dress that is backless until an inch above my bottom.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: ah ok. I do not think nu bra would work. Unless you have really perky DDDs.
ETA: actually- how much support are you looking for? It's not enough for me, but if you don't need a ton of support you could try... Dress sounds hot.

@Foodnerd81: haha well thanks to two years of nursing, they're lacking some perk.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: ok yeah, I stand by my no then. I'm a D and have one year of bfing behind me and would not feel comfortable. It's a shame because there are so many dresses like that, but what can you do?

@MsLipGloss: This is what I did 2 years ago for my New Years dress when my stick ons didn't work. Unfortunately I didn't have the medical tape so I used something sort of like duct-tape. Ouch!

My wedding dress was pretty much backless (just had a sheer overlay... it was Jenny Packham Willow). I am a small D at my skinniest and a DD most of the time... so I was stressed about this because cups couldn't be sewn into my dress due to the delicate nature of the material.
i found a stick on bra that actually worked!!! i will have to get you the name of it when i'm at home. but it was amazing and provided lift and it was seriously so comfortable and i wore it allllllll day and again for a next day photoshoot! the entire thing is sticky, not just the sides... it was kinda like chicken cutlet material but thinner obviously and just super sticky EVERYWHERE. i got it from the place i purchased my dress and paid about $60 for it.
at some point on the weekend i'll find it and tell you the brand name to see if you can find it locally! i highly recommend.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Hard to say. It doesn't lift much and I used it before ever being pregnant... so things were already pretty perky. I think it was $30 or so on Amazon, so not too much lost if you get one and it fails you?
Taping sounds interesting!
