Need opinions

Ok here is my dilema and Im sure many of you have the same. Our gowns. I love the strapless look and my question is for a heavy bust does the dress hold up well? For dancing and moving around? Im sooo nervous of falling out. I dont want one of those dreaded pics on the internet of the mastercard priceless add. Have you seen those? I havent gone shopping yet b/c I have plenty of time since we dont have a date but at the same time I dont want to fall in love with a dress I may not be able to wear.

And all of the pics I see on here of the strapless gowns are just beautiful.

I had the same issue and got a maggie with a corset back. When they tie me in, those babies are not going anywhere. I even wound up not wearing anything underneath because it showed with the strapless dress. At first I said no way but then I saw that I wasn't moving in the dress. It should be fine if you are fitted right and maybe get a corset type top that ties you in. Good Luck

I am a 34 c and when I tried it on, I felt fine. I believe with the right bra and fitting, you will be fine.

Re: Need opinions

You know what too. I wonder if it will look funny. I cant wear strapless now without me looking like Im hanging even with a strapless bra. Im a 36DD and I hate it!!!! of course FH loves it but when it comes to clothes or dresses it just reminds me of what a drag. I hope I can breathe if I choose a strapless gown after Im tied up/in.

Re: Need opinions

I'm an F in the bust department.

I ended up having my gown customized. I had them add 3 inches to the neckline of my strapless to cover some of my 'cleavage'. As far as undergarments go, you just need to be fitted correctly.

I honestly thought I wouldn't be able top wear a strapless b/c of my chest, but it turned out, they were the only gowns that flattered me. Go figure!

Re: Need opinions

I thought the same thing, (I'm a 36C) but the strapless I chose doesn't go straight across the bust; it has these points under the armpits and it makes me feel much more secure. I am going to a corseter to get a custom fitted corset also though. Try a bunch of different strapless dresses on and you'll see that you're comfortable in some.
Good Luck!
my dress ...
*edited to say that the sheer top is removable - I may where it at the church; but I'm going strapless at the reception.
