Au Naturale

May 9th, 2008 @ 2:40 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

If there is one thing I am comfortable with, it’s going braless. I’m not afraid to say it - I like my boobs and letting them free once in a while has never hurt anyone.

When I tried on my dress I went au naturel and it fit perfectly - little or no alterations needed to be done. I know it’s pretty to have the matchy matchy undergarments, but I will be much more comfortable with no bra.

That being said, is anyone else going all natural for the big day?

I did and it was fantastic! I did use petals to cover my *ahem in case it got cold…but it was fantastic. It turned out to be so warm with me running around like a mad woman, I was glad not to have anything else “holding me down”! =)

My girls are big and they liked to be contained. But my dress has a built in corset (love it) and the seamstress said for a sleeker line NOT to wear a bra. This goes against every core of my being! But, maybe….

Ah! Me too! Everyone keeps telling me to go get a pretty bra….but personally I like my chickens free range, if you know what I mean. Especially since I have the same situation, that my dress fits perfectly without one…and with all the fittedness and boning and fluff and stuff I think everything will stay covered…(Actually I think I’d probably have to work REALLY hard to get one of my boobs to pop out of my dress, even though its strapless…)

I didn’t wear one, as my dress fit perfectly and had some cups sewn in. I also just wore a regular thong-style pair of undies…no other constrictive undergarments. It felt so great to be comfortable.

Jenniferb, I’m the same way. I never, EVER go braless but since I have a corset dress, it holds ‘em in. I’m going back and forth though, because the dress bends out a wee bit in front, and I’m afraid if I do go braless and someone leans in for a hug, they might see a bit more than they bargained for…

I could have, and considered it (my dress was very structured), but I realized I’d be changing my dress in front of people a few times, and just wasn’t a fan of doing that topless. I ended up using a NuBra Featherlite, more for coverage than anything else.

ME, too! I’m so relieved to read that other people are doing this! I don’t go braless in my everyday life (not comfortable with DDs) but in trying on wedding gowns, I found that I was more comfortable (and looked better) without!

But I’m just curious, is anyone else a size C or above planning on doing this? Because when I’m trying on gowns, I’m not wearing them and dancing in them all night. So I’m not 100% sure this would be a good idea. :)

I guess I’m going without as well, though I never considered it that way, since I got cups sewn into my bodice (2 pairs, actually, since the bodice has a shape of its own… nothing makes you feel inadequate up top like needing two pairs of cups…!) I’m pretty well-contained but I guess I should think about petals or something just IN CASE of a random malfunction…

I am rockin a set of DD’s myself and I thought there would be no way I could go without, but I did and I am so glad. My dress had a lace-up bodice, so that helped considerably. All in all, it was much easier than trying to find a low backed/strapless/sweetheart bra that would have worked. Kudos to you - let those babies free!

if your knockers are bigger, wear a bra! I didn’t at the suggestion of my seamstress and regretted it! I pulled up my strapless all night long! If you can go au naturale, get the tape, it’ll help, I ended up being allergic to it and took it off before I started getting too red!

I’m going without one! Me and my tiny boobies are just going to hide (and try to look bigger) behind some sewn-in cups.

I did because my dress was nearly backless so there was really no way I could. Luckily, I am a smaller gal so support wasn’t an issue.

I’m going without! My dress has a corset back and I am very happy with my 32 D’s!

I tested this out at my final fitting, and though it looked fine while I was standing, it didn’t work well when sitting, dancing, leaning. Just a NOTE: make sure to try different positions while at your ftting. GL!

i might be since my dress fits better without one.

i feel like it’s too tight with one on, but perfect without one.

i didn’t think it would have made such a difference but it does.

I’m the opposite. I go au naturale on a regular basis, but usually wear a bra for formal wear and did so for my wedding.

My dress will have some built in cups so there is no ..ummm… color coming through… or temperature discrepancies! I was just going to go pasty style, but the seamstress chicka said that with my off the shoulder neckline the built in cups would keep “the girls” up just enough to be a tad sexy, and make sure they didn’t come out to say hi while dancing! I said - ok - cups it is! B/c i plan on dancing like a fool!
