Bras! Illusion dress

Hi there. In need of some advice for the best bra to suit my wedding dress. My dress is an illusion bodice (front) with ball gown bottom. The dress came with bra cups (white) sewn into the dress that dont attach in the middle. It gives the look of "headlights". So..i need to decide between a beige strapless bra (backless) or white strapless bra (backless). Thoughts? The illusion bodice has floral applique. I am small chested so support isnt an issue. Im concerned the white bra will be too visible and the beige will make me look naked.

    I second what Brittany said. See what the seamstress can do/add so you don't have to get a bra.

    Just a thought... although it comes with built in cups, could you not have them exchanged with something else? Or get them to add a bit of additional applique or lining to lessen the "head light" look. If you don't need to wear a bra, I would think it may look nicer to just extend some applique, or join the cups somehow.

    I would go with beige. I would sooner have it look like either your dress or your skin than to have it obvious that it's some material on your front to cover the girls.

    I dont need a bra bra...the stick ons could work provided they have a center that comes together to avoid the headlights. I already have cups/something similar sewn in my dress. Shoppers sells stick ons?? I dont need a traditional strapless bra as it has to be backless

    Do you need a bra bra? Or would you go with some of those stick on pieces that are sold at Shoppers Drugmart to avoid the headlights?

    I would go with the beige bra IMO. I'd rathe look too naked than have a noticeable white bra.
