For those of us whose lockdown lethargy had us reaching for sweats, trackies and tees, there were some unexpected perks. For starters, my morning routine now rarely surpasses the five-minute mark. Since embracing relaxed fits, I haven’t worried about PMS-induced bloating for sixteen months.
And, in the boob department, those cosy cover-ups completely eradicated the threat of nip slips and awkward fits. So, if you’re anything like me, there’s a good chance you haven’t even looked at a bra since March 2020. But now that our calendars are filling up with real-life events, we’re entering a bra-ve new world (sorry, I had to!).
If you’re attending a wedding in the coming weeks, you may be particularly stressed about finding occasionwear that flatters and fits, especially if you’ll feel more secure and supported by wearing a bra underneath. From light fabrics to skimpy cami straps, summer dresses pose some major challenges when it comes to bra-wear.
But worry not! Whether you need support for bigger boobs, or a boost for smaller ones, we’re here to lend a helping hand via our bra-friendly guide to wedding guest dresses.
Paint The Town Red
Flattering on boobs big and small, the fit-and-flare Fiona dress has thick straps that allow you to comfortably wear a bra underneath. We particularly love the playful frills that were made for swishing around the dancefloor (and over to the open bar). Team with strappy heels and a white clutch and you’re dancefloor-ready!
Take The Plunge
A high-drama plunge neckline meets a flattering tie-waist in this floaty maxi. Best of all, the relaxed fit is totally bra-friendly, and can hide a multitude of canapés and bubbly tipples too! Pair her with metallic hues – yes, now’s the time to whip out your fave sparkly heels.
That’s A Wrap!
Fitted at the waist and floaty below, the Bobbie dress conceals all signs of a bra with its flouncy angel sleeves and waist-cinching fit. Featuring a subtle floral print in dreamy blue mint, this midi is particularly perfect for summertime ceremonies – just add nude heels and a glass of prosecco.
