So to be perfectly frank, I'm a busty lady (36DD -- all real!). I'm not heavy all over, just on top and on bottom. I know a strapless dress would look good to me, but every time I've worn one I spent the whole night picking up my top because it was falling down, no matter how tight I had the seamless make it.
So all you busty ladies out there -- are you going strapless? If you are, how can you be sure your boobs will stay in place?
Thanks!

I'm a 32DDD and have a corset strapless dress. I can't go braless, so I went to Intimacy in the Roosevelt Field Mall. Make an appointment, and they work with you to find whatever you need. I got a beautiful strapless corset to wear under my dress that is SUPER comfy.

I am not as big as that but I am a D cup with a small frame so I can certainly not go bra-less, ever! I found that a corset really holds me up so much better then a strapless bra does. Definitely try on some corsets with your dress!

This! I am a 40DDD and my dress has a corset back. Trying it on at the store with the bra they gave me and the dress not being my size, the girls were pretty secure so I know when I get the perfect corset bra and the dress is fit exactly to me it will be just fine.

34DDD here! I did not want a strapless dress because I didn't want to pull it up all night, but my dress is strapless! It's a corset back which I think is what helps keep you tucked in nicely. I'm also going to get a corset bra to go under, although in trying it on I had no bra on and I was fine.
I'm a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding with a strapless dress. It's a zipper back and I have a really good strapless bra under and I'm still self-conscious about my chest. I really think the quality of the dress matters.

Same here, 38DD - i didnt even want try on strapless dresses. I agree with the other ladies - when I put on a strapless with a corset i was AMAZED! all gowns have the option to have cap sleeves added or anything adjusted in alterations. the gown i fell in love with has detachable lace cap sleeves - im thinking probably for church.

38DD here as well. My dress is strapless. I almost didn't look at strapless dresses as well because I had this fear. But with the right bra and the sample almost fit perfectly the girls were pretty good so with alterations it should be perfect
