.. about the fact that my boobs don't fit into any of the styles of dress I like.
If you need examples take a look at my dress shopping album... the consultant at Village Bridal thought it was hysterical that I couldn't focus on 1/2 the dresses I tried on because all I saw was cleav.
We tried a privacy panel but honestly it looked like I was wearing a tank top under a wedding dress, which in theory would be me the layer queen but isn't really the look I was going for.

I know this will sound odd but were you at Paradise last week? Have you tried some of the Maggies? The first two didnt look bad at all! I know what you mean about too much dress! I ended up with something that was not puffy at all!

Re: Gotta do SOMETHING....
The first two were at Estelle's they weren't terrible but I don't like the idea of strapless, I'm an adjuster even with a good support system I'm affraid I'll be playing with it.
I haven't been to Paradise yet, it's on the list.
I tried on 2 maggies I liked them both one was a little out of my price range though so I didn't even take a picture of it. The problem is I've been shopping alone which I thought would help but it really hasn't. I'm waiting until the weekend of my e-party when my Mom, FMIL, and MOH can all come with me.

Re: Gotta do SOMETHING....
There was a girl at Paradise that looked just like you! Try calling Ashley at Helens in Commack - she is so sweet and i got the best price there on my Maggie!

try some sweetheart & straight across necklines. I think the dress with the sweetheart neckline (the one which you said was too much dress for you) had the best fit on top...

Re: Gotta do SOMETHING....
Thank you!! Its very different from what I have been seeing and it is kind of vintage looking. Goes with Westbury Manor - I got it in that color too! I boutght shoes that match perfectly for 55 bucks at Sandys shoes and they are comfortable too! Who could ask for anything more!!!! LOL - def. go and speak to Ashley or Liz!

It did fit the best on top, if the skirt was just a little less.... WHOA... it would have been a serious consideration.

What about asking the seamstress to take out some of the underskirt - it would make it less full! Just a thought if you LOVE how it fit!

I know EXACTLY what you mean. This is why I'm having my dress made.
The tank top thing is funny!
They can add lace, like a lacy border to the bustline so it covers a little more. Also, I've seen beaded modesty pieces that go in between the sweetheart neckline, it actually can look nice if it's done right.

There are plenty of sweetheart necklines with smaller bottoms! Just keep looking! You'll find it!

it's not just the fullness it's alllll the flowers. I'm gonna bring the picture to my next appointments though, maybe use it as a starting point, the neckline and aline skirt just less decoration, or even a simpler lace overlay
