I have a gala I will be attending soon. I need a recommendation for a good strapless bar. I am small busted. Second, I need recommendations on Spanx. I want it to smooth me, not push my fat up.

I've had good luck sewing bra cups into dresses rather than wearing a strapless bra.
I've also worn an all-in-one strapless bra - body slimmer garment. It was a pain to get into but worked well.

I’m having cups sewn into my mother of the bride dress that I’m wearing to my daughter’s upcoming wedding. It’s so much easier than trying to find a bra that won’t show.
I don’t think I’ll have to wear Spanx because my dress actually has some boning in the corset which helps hold everything in the proper place, and it has a full skirt which disguises my apple belly.
If your dress hugs your curves I would take your dress with you and go to a store where the lingerie department employees are very well trained (such as Nordstrom) and have them help me pick out the best undergarments for the dress. Try and go on a weekday when they are not so busy.

My daughter gets married soon, and I’m petrified I won’t find I dress that works for me. I don’t even know my body type anymore. |

I’d also check Knix for shapewear. Theirs is not compression type, just more of a smooth the surface type. They have body suits, undies, shorts and tanks in their shapewear line.
