Hi:

The mesh shown on the Murielle Roy site is NOT the right stuff for the application we have been discussing. That particular mesh is extremely light weight and is generally used on sleeves, skirts, etc., OR for bodice top areas where there is a flesh-colored lining. Because it is made of very light-weight fibers, it can also be easily snagged .... if one, for instance, has rhinestones or sequins on the garment.

Here is a link to the kind of stuff Yogachick will find useful for her application:

-- see the 9203 product

This particular mesh is often used in undergarments .... bras, tummy control briefs, etc. It is of heavier weight than the mesh discussed above, and does not snag. It also has great elasticity. It isn't particularly elegant looking up close and personal, but on the ice, it's great. As I said, I love the stuff ...... I've even used it inside brief fronts .... tummy control for those of us who've had children and have a wee bit of a pot.

I hope this is helpful, but if there is anything else I can assist with ... let me know.

even if you are flat chested...the naturally given attributes of the breast will show through your skating dress. If nothing else, use the covers suggested by others for your breasts!

As I said before, I am the mother of sons...believe me, you do not want to know the type of comments/remarks/insults/suggestive ideas that are expressed by their friends and them. (yes, I did raise them to be polite to females...this usually occurs when they believe females can not hear them)

Im a heavy C...I never skate with a bra. Then again...I dont "react to cold" so to speak. Just wear a really tight dress...lol. Works for me at least.

Hi Yogachick here, my cup size is 32 DD. Thanks for all your suggestions. This is the first skating dress I have ever bought, I may go for the plastic backed, plastic staps type of bra. We ladies need all the support we can get!!
