I love the idea of these dresses too, but I barely considered them for this very reason. As a fairly well-endowed girl myself, I knew I wouldn't feel comfortable in them. Most of the ways you would wear these dresses would require either a strapless or no bra at all. Instead, I am letting my girls choose any style dress in a specific color and material from the same group of designers, the Dessy Group (Dessy, After Six, Lela Rose, etc).
I'll be honest with you...I've seen two weddings where the girls wore these. They just aren't flattering. If you have all flat chested girls I say go for it. It makes your boobs look really odd and if someone wanted me to wear one I'd be really embarrassed about how I looked. But I mean go to a bridal salon and see what the options are. The ones I saw the girls were def not wearing a bra but this was a couple years ago so I don't know if there are other things they can do to help now.

My girls are wearing convertible dresses! They absolutely love them. Cheaper, rewearable and no alterations. I'm big chested myself and ive worn the dress myself 4 times. I wore it TWOTY actually and changed it every hour. I only wore it strapless 1 time. There are sooo many possibilities with the dress. The dresses are black so I told the girls a black strapless or convertible bra and boobie tape makes this dress go a looong way!
I could post pix if u want....
ETA I can't go braless but many ways will cover a strapless bra. Once I did wear it backless and I actually boobie taped cups on and they stayed in place all night. (I took the cups out of a bridesmaid dress I had worn)
That's awesome to know, because I really want to do this. Maybe I'll buy one for myself just to test it out. Where did you get yours?

This IS really good to know because I ruled them out for that reason.
I'm not sure if VS even has them anymore, I checked... but someone said on here Dessy has them or something like that.
