Sewing bra into dress?

My dress for an event that's coming up is strapless and keeps slipping down and also looked strange, so I tried putting on a bra underneath it so it has straps and it looks great now, but keeps slipping down so I was thinking I could sew the top of the dress to the top of the bra, and then the back of the bra to the back of the dress. Does this sound realistic? Any tips?

    If you are not a seamstress, sewing that together could get a little tricky and you could end up with some stitching that shows.

    If you have sewing skills, go for it. If you do not, then either practice on something else to know that you can hide the stitching or have someone else do it for you.

    One other thing you could consider is two sided tape. Three for four carefully placed pieces of two sided tape could easily hold the dress to the bra. And if it doesn't work, you haven't hurt anything trying it.

    Add straps to the dress, or use double-stick dress or toupee tape.

    Or take it to a good alterationist and have it fitted so it will stay up.
