Dear Jennifer,

You can sew the front bra into the side seams. Just make sure you get
it in the right place. It'll look great.

You can. But I found a really great bra for my DD a while back. It is a
convertible bra. She loves halter style tops and they look darling on her.
This bra (she refuses to go without one---ever. And I count my blessings.
lol) you unhook the straps then you can wrap them around your neck so the
halter covers them. It still wraps around the ribcage, but it's lower than
a regular bra band. I know Victoria's Secret has one they call the 100 Way
bra or something like that. That might be easier for you. And then if you
make any other halter style tops or anything, you'd have it for them too.
Also that would give you more lift than sewing the bra into the dress.

If you do sew in the bra, sew to the side seams, and consider leaving the
band. That way you can hook the band around.
