Sew Along: How to Know Which Bust Support to Use?

In this Sew Along call, we talked about one of those alteration decisions that can feel different with every single bride: how to know which type of bust support to use.

We covered when simple sewn-in cups may be enough, when Boombas can help, and when a gown needs additional structure through underwires, princess seam adjustments, Rigilene, flat steel boning, or custom boning channels.

The group also shared helpful techniques for supporting larger busts, working with soft breast tissue, improving side support, altering sheer mesh bodices, and creating a more lifted or defined shape without making the bride feel unlike herself.

There are so many practical ideas, product recommendations, pricing examples, and creative solutions shared throughout this conversation.

Watch the replay with a notebook nearby, and take note of the techniques you want to try the next time a bride asks, “Can you make me feel a little more supported in this dress?”
