Hey ladies....may seem a silly question...., but do any of you know my answer lol! i had delivered today a basque, which was ok i guess in the support stakes (will be fine under a fitted dress (i hope!!!) problem is.....firstly the 2 front bones...one of them was just bowing outwards......then once i fiddled about a bit with it...it made a funny dent so bowed inwards!?!?!? i am stuck as to why this is happening? do i have the wrong size or does it sound like a fault??? any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks xx

i have just tried it again on the tightest setting....it stil bowing and Kimmy - you are right! damn uncomfortable :( i just wanted it to take to my dress shopping on Sat morning....i think tho i will just go in a normal bra and tuck the straps in...i am fed up with strapless bra's not supporting at all :( lol Basque is going back pronto!

I think they are supposed to give you that concave shape, to give you a more desirable shape. I'm not really that sure but I think lol, but I agree strapless bras are rubbish
CommentAuthorGazza 122
concave at the sides i can deal with...but at the front! lol....very odd shape, like right under the underwire of the basque it dips right inwards...bizarre! x i may have to use bandages to keepy uppy under the dress! lol can u imagine H2B unravveling me on the wedding night! hahahah!
It sounds like they are not doing their job right tbh! try a different size or one with steal bones

they are plastic....a different size would mean having a 'spillage' of breast...or a saggy look....i am just gonna abandon the whole idea grrr x

I had the same problem- ended up going with spanks to hold in and give a smooth line. They're much more comfy to sit down in too!!! X

Aurora, I was about to say about plastic bones. They're worse than useless usually. Steel boning may sound scary but it's actually a lot more flexible and secure at the same time.
CommentAuthorGazza 122
hmmm...do they come in 34GG? xxx

Do what come in 34GG?
CommentAuthorGazza 122
steel boned basques hun???
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
You might have to go for a corset rather than a basque. Some plastic bones are better than others but they do tend to bow after a while and can be VERY uncomfortable when they do.
CommentAuthorGazza 122
gonna sound like another silly question...can u wear a corset under a tight fitting dress..or is it better to have the corset incorporated into the dress? i have an appointment with the bridal shop saturday, and would like to know what to ask for...(to give me the best possible chance of support) i am useless at this lol xx
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
You can wear a corset under your dress but you MUST have the corset before your first fitting. MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST!
I have a great corsetiere who I think is actually about the same bra size as you, if you'd like a recommendation.
