If you’re wearing a strapless dress, a basque may be your best bet for supportive lingerie, and this one by Fantasie is currently on sale at Debenhams, down to £47.50 from the usual £59.99. Given that basques can be expensive purchases, and aren’t often worn after the wedding, it could be a good buy, from a well-known lingerie designer: it features underwired cups, with a pretty floral design for some feminine appeal.
