armpit fat
OK, I always thought I was paranoid and the only one who would notice, but I was wearing a strapless dress to my cousin's wedding and I asked my dad how I looked. His response was, 'Nice, except your boobs are coming out of your armpits.' OK, now I have a strapless dress for my wedding and all I can think of is armpit fat/boobs coming out of my armpit. Am I paranoid???? I am including me in the dress - this was the day I bought it at a sample sale (woohoo!), so it's a bit wrinkled and hasn't been altered for me. Does it scream armpit??? HONEST opinions please!!!

Re: armpit fat
Thank you so much - I was beginning to stop liking my dress and want a different one. And I was so excited about it at first!

Re: armpit fat
An honest opinion, you look amazing. But a word of advise to make you more comfortable, check your FM.

Re: armpit fat
You look beautiful and you are just being paranoid. I'm a DD and I wore a strapless dress. I had no problems with our pictures or anything like that.Now... is it just me, or did anyone else misread the title of this thread to say 'armpit fart' -- I was dying of curiosity to see how that was wedding related!
Seriously and honestly, you look stunning in that dress and there is no fat (armpit or otherwise) that I can see.

Re: armpit fat
PS - Make sure your seamstress sews in keepers that you tuck into your strapless bra. That will help keep the gown up where it's supposed to be and keep your bra from peeking out!

Re: armpit fat
You look great! I've worn a strapless dress or two where I've noticed the same problem, but I've never seen it with a wedding gown...I think that they're just cut differently so between that & the custom alterations that's not likely to happen. You will be fine!!

Re: armpit fat
You look beautiful and I honestly don't see ANY armpit fat. No need to worry, you will look gorgeous on your wedding day

Re: armpit fat
I first read this as 'Armpit Fart' and was like 'what is this about?!'
You look beautiful. I have those same worries every time I wear a strapless anything. It's not a problem at all though--you'll look stunning on your day.

Re: armpit fat
omg....that is one reason why i said i would never wear a strapless...meanwhile i bought one lol...I did notice that if you dont wear a bra with your dress.....the armpit fat doesnt leak out.......maybe u can get a bra built in?

Re: armpit fat
Yes, you are being paranoid. You look great! Dad's sometimes lack that 'filter' when they decide to say things!!!! Everyone has a little something over there, it is a hard area to work out.

Re: armpit fat
Oh my gosh - I feel so much better!What's a keeper??? Also someone suggested putting a little tulle around the top of the dress. My FH said I just need to do more cardio. UGH.
As for armpit FARTS, I know a bit about that too being a fourth grade teacher, so let me know if you need any advice on your technique.
Armpit fart tip of the day; NO DEODORANT.
(No charge for that advice)
