Summer Midi Dress
I know I’ve already done an outfit post with this dress but I feel like the pictures didn’t show off this dress like it deserves. I’m also kind of a perfectionist and I really wanted the pictures to be perfect! The last time I wore this dress I added a white moto jacket and black sandals for a more casual look. This time I kept it simple and just added lace up heels for a date night look. I love that this dress can be dressed up or down. It’s super comfortable and has a drawstring waist which is always nice. AND IT’S 50% OFF RIGHT NOW!
I know you’re probably all curious about what type of bra I’m wearing – right? 😉 I used to stay away from halter tops/dresses or strapless dresses because I never knew what kind of bra to wear. Obviously this dress would not look good with a regular bra. But I hate wearing strapless bras – they either don’t stay up or they are so tight they flatten everything out and make unflattering line. But last year I discovered sticky cups! I know they sound scary but they actually work really well. I wear a 32D bra size and the sticky cups are a C cup so they don’t just work on people with really small boobs. They don’t offer a lot of support so I’m not sure how they work on larger chests but they keep everything together for me! I’ve worn them a lot and they haven’t lost their stickiness yet. You can also wash them! These sticky cups were seriously a life changer for me so I had to share! Haha…

I loved your last post with this dress so I'm happy to see it get it's own moment, it's so pretty! I think I might need to try those sticky cups, I'm small chested but I usually don't like going bra-less because I look too flat, but sometimes a bra just won't work with a certain dress or top 😛

That dress looks so pretty on you, and I feel the same way about my photos – I want everything to be just so!!
I often avoid dresses and tops that require strapless bras as I do not own one and shopping for them is never pleasant. It's a different world for those of us with larger chests.

Very pretty dress on you. I wanted to buy this but didn't because of the halter style. I have 1 strapless bra that I got from Nordstrom years ago and it's amazing! I try not to buy halter styles because I can't wear it to work.

That is a beautiful dress – stunningly simple but pretty outfit 🙂
I have been known to leave dresses behind as I couldn't wear a normal bra with them, I have the same issue you had with the strapless bras! Never tried the sticky ones, although my sister wears them a lot. Might have to consider them if I see a pretty but impractical dress I just have to have!

What a beautiful dress! I love the feather print. I've tried sticky cup bras too, and they've worked well! I was so surprised the first time because I expected an epic failure haha.
