Spanx, Goddess, specialty shop? Help!

Hey everyone,

I''ve been lurking for a couple of weeks and have a question I hope you guys can help me with! My wedding on 4-5-08. I''m wearing this dress in the blush color. I absolutely love my dress, but I was NOT absolutely in love with the longline bra they had me in when I bought my dress. I''ve tried my dress on 3 times now without a bra and...well, let''s just say I think I''d be more comfortable with a bra! I need to have the top taken in a smidge, which might help, but I think having a good longline bra would also just make me more comfortable.

I''m going back for alterations in a few weeks and I''d really like to have at least tried a few other options of long line bras (and maybe even find something I really like!). I''ve heard different brands (hence the subject line!) thrown around and I''ve done some looking in the archives for an answer, but I haven''t found anything definite!

Any help you guys could give would be great! Thanks!
-Julia

Beautiful dress!!!

I''ve heard great things about Nordstrom''s lingerie department and the service in that department. If I were you, I would make a trip to Nordstrom (if there''s one near you).

I bought this one and am very pleased with it...plus it looks very nice on: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod18340033&parentId=cat9860735&masterId=cat1710731&index=11&cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000111cat13750752cat000137cat1710731cat9860735

It was more than I intended to spend, but a little extra money really seems to make a difference in quality.

Julia,

Try: shapewear

you could read the reviews. I hear JC Penny''s carry this brand too, but I couldn''t find it online....

Aprilcait: I have had a Nordstrom''s gift card since last June that I haven''t spent yet, so I may take myself over there this weekend to see what I can find!


Facetfire: I love the look of that one! Unfortunately there isn''t a Neiman Marcus in Seattle and Macy''s doesn''t seem to carry that type. If I can''t find anything, I may just order it online because it looks really nice.


gtn: I''ll check out Penny''s after I look at Nordstrom..the only concern I have with shapewear is that I need it to be low in the back because my dress goes really low in the back.

Thanks for help, ladies! This will be a good start, I hope!
