    Hey ladies and gents!
    I've had two fittings so far and go back tomorrow for a third as we just can't get the bust right! The plan was too add darts into the bust to bring it closer to me at the top so it fits snug. Guess I'll have to wait an see how that turns out tomorrow!
    I'll add a picture of my dress at the end of the post so you can see it but the bust was huge too begin with even though the dress fit me perfectly!
    I'm currently feeding baby no4 who is 19 weeks old and they just don't sit right :(
    When the dress is done up I just seem too get middle boob
    Originally I was just planning on wearing my reusable breast pads as they'll stay in place once the dress is done up, but now I'm not so sure?
    Is there any magic trick too get my boobs looking good in my dress without a bra?
    Last time I was measured was a week after my daughter was born and my milk was in and I measured 38E. 18 weeks on and I don't fill the cup any more so I'm assuming I've gone down to a D-DD? I've also lost a bit of weight since the photos were taken :)

    As you can see my dress is a lace up corset with plenty of bones in so should be supportive enough but I've got huge doubts!
    Please excuse my black nursing bra and my mile long roots lol!

    Just one thing, what are you planning on doing through the actual day? Will you be breastfeeding?

    Our ceremony starts at 2pm so I'm guessing I'll be in my dress around midday so I plan on BF up until I'm in it. I've got a freezer stash of EBM which will be used too bottle feed her with throughout the day and night as there's no way I'm feeding in my dress lol!
    I then plan on expressing as and when needed throughout the evening mainly for comfort :)

    That's was my concern, feeding a baby of that age will mean they are getting a lot and it only take a missed feed for them to fill up again. I'd literally wait until last minute to put the dress on, if baby does not need feeding, express it, then again as soon as you can, or sit with her somewhere and feed her, then get help doing the dress back up.

    Sorry not much help in your original question, I was more concerned about you getting engorged.

    I am having a similar problem I don't have children so am not great feeding but I am a 32 E. When I tried my dress on with out bra the other day my boobs looked horrendous!! They were a really funny shape and I feel like I had enough support at all. So what I have been looking at is bridal corcets, they come low enough at the back so it won't show, and you can get them strapless. It might be worth a look? Thery have some that fitted me (so if they fit me they will fit you!) I'm d£bh&ms on there website. Hope this helps xx

    Another thing, if you get your dress fitted on empty, when they do fill up, the dress won't fit properly. Maybe see if some kind of release thing can be added just in case. What does your seamstress say?

    I've been going in between feeds for my fittings and I don't tend too get much bigger when full lol :) With it being a lace up back there'll also be room for give and take so that shouldn't be an issue :)

    I'll be feeding an 11month old and potentially an almost 3 year old (if he's still nursing) come our wedding next year. I'll be feeding throughout the day, I'm feeding my 19mo currently, tried the dress on last 2months ago and my bust is fine. I'm sure alterations could be done to make it 'fit' better. It looks too big on you in the picture which honestly I don't think that has anything to do with your boobs, its just the dress shape?

    Planning to perfection <3

    just a thought ..... you are saying about going bras less , what about the possibility of "leakage"

    maybe you can use slimming suit until you wedding day, that will help you to reposisitionyour breast. or,, the last option is you must use a tight gown especially in body. so it's can't change.

    i dont think a "slimming suit" is going to do anything to help the dress fit her boo bs, equally with three weeks to go she is highly unlikely to be changing dresses

    If I don't use a bra then I was planning on just using my reusable breast pads (bamboo). When trying on my dress they stay in place thankfully.
    I definitely won't be changing my dress at this stage in the game :D

    So I went for my final fitting today :D
    We've changed the hoop from a 2 ring too a 3 ring hoop with 2 extra layers on tulle on and it's made such a difference!
    Also the bust finally fits lol! I've decided not too wear a bra and just have my breast pads held in place by the corset :)

    Here's some updated pic's of me in my dress. These pic's were taken before we changed hoops and I readjusted my boobs so I didn't have middle boob lol and the bust sits on me better and doesn't dig into my under arm giving the fat overhang effect lol!

    You got me thinking I will have a 5month old by then he's only 6days old now but I still plan to breastfeed etc I will have to manually express and store milk for him as I won't be breastfeeding in my dress or expressing its a messy job for me I get milk everywhere over my b00b and leak like crazy!! I will deffo need breast pads which I find I uncomfty and just a nusense if it moves sensitive nIppl3s ATM sorry for tmi!!

    I was planning on going for no bra I think if I remember right my dress already has support for your bust so I should need a bra!!

    I'm glad your dress fits your b00bs perfectly No Middle Boob Support and comfort and you feel like a princess what more do you want!! You look stunning by the way Nelinde Xxx

    Thank you :)
    @MrsDeaton2Be
    You might find that by the time your LO is 5 months old your nipples have toughened up and your supply has settled and you don't leak as much so you might be able to handle just having breast pads :)
    Congratulations on the new squish :D
