urgent help needed for may ball- boobs/bra issue!!

[ryoko_rock]

Right... it's my big leaver's ball this Friday... I've got this long satin slinky dress from Monsoon, looks lovely, but I can't wear a bra with it cos the back's too low.

I've seen those backless bra things you can get...but I have no money, and no time to go and buy any.

The 2 problems I have are: 1) nipples showing thru the dress, and 2) i feel like my boobs ae too small and look crap in the dress.


now...does anyone know some simple tips/ things i could do to solve these problems on the night??

i.e. sellotape to cover nipples...i think i heard that sumwhere... and ways to possible uplift my boobs...without a bra..


arg :crazyeyes

You can get boobie lifters from places. They are like, a big bit of tape that holds your boob like you have a bra on. They are expensive though. And I dont know the proper name hence boobie lifters. Sorry :<

lol i'd love to see the face of the shop assistant:

"can I have some boobie lifters please???"

[paperBprincess]

its generally called toupee tape. although aparently you can use a plaster to cover the nipple thing. try it out tomorrow and see if it covers them

Places like La Senza sell things that give lift and apparently sulpture you... not sure how much they are or even if they work... saw them when i was searching for tit tape earlier for my ball dress....

anyone know where i can buy tit tape?? *pleads*

if youre small chested and relatively pert, then I think u should just go bra-less. Dont fret about it.

I saw an advert on tv for this bra that has no straps and no back.... it just sticks on the front of your boobs... you can make you boobs a cup size or 2 larger if you want to as well....

Dunno how much they are though :S Ilora x

Oasis sell 'Hollywood Tape' which is the same thing or try this (http://www.asos.com/product.asp?sku=1ACMI0045)

la senza sell tit tape and M&S sell nipple plasters.

:)

[ryoko_rock]

hmm... paperBprincess the plasters idea sounds good...

arg i need 2 go to la senza....but the closest one i know is in kingston, i dont kno if ill have time 2 go there!!

maybe i will take ranbow brite's advice and just face it without a bra... :nervous:

TBH I've just used double sided sellotape before, with a low cut halterneck to create a better cleavage. Problems with this are:

1. It comes off after a few hours. This is fine while sober but when on the dancefloor with all your workmates it's not REALLY a good idea to be hefting your boobs around inside your top trying to get them back in place

2. It can leave you with burst blood vessels after - bit like a sucky


However, it's cheap and reasonably effective. Though I do agree with whoever said you'll be fine without.

Claires accessories sell tit tape, too.

And it's much cheaper there than in lingerie shops.

I once had to do a dance show as a Hawanian girl in a bikini and grass skirt. It was a padded plunge bikini and the dance involved lots of risky acrobatic moves... parcel tape kept me in nicely!

Muchas gracias everyone!! In the end i got these nipple cover things, and faced the ball without a bra!! It looked cool though, and the ball was great!

(for pictures you can see my livejournal, i'll put some up there soon...)
