For larger boobs you should wear a prom dress with a wider strap. Unfortunately strapless bras don't really give the support needed, so you would want to be able to wear a regular bra. I know that sounds like a bummer, and you hear a lot of larger breasted girls wearing them. Think about it though. When celebs with big boobs where strapless or spaghetti straps they have them hanging out of the top of their dress, and despite what they think, it doesn't look attractive unless you are a horn dog of a guy. You probably know that shelf bras don't work so halter isn't great either, but you can find a good support halter bra at Macy's.

The secret is to start with the right bra! Everyday bras won't do for a big night. Special occasion dresses require special occasion bras. (You wouldn't wear any old dress out on the town, so why overlook what you'll be wearing to hold everything up...literally?).
The key is to buy your dress first, then head for the lingerie section of a department store or a boutique that specializes in full-figure innerwear. Be sure to get measured by a professional saleswoman; she'll be able to determine your accurate bra size. Take your dress with you, so you can try on bras under what you'll actually be wearing. Make sure you have a perfect (enough support) and flawless (no seams or wires showing through) fit.
If you're going strapless, look for a strapless bra that gives you great lift, real support, natural cleavage, and most importantly, serious comfort (you don't want be tugging on your bra all night). If you want to play down your chest, shop for a minimizer. As far as dress styles go, try a halter that's cut high under the arm, which'll cover an unsightly bra. Also try an off-the-shoulder style, which will balance your total look.
P.S.: If you're much larger on top, buy your formal dress a size up from what you normally wear. Make sure it fits properly in the bust, then have the areas that are too big taken in.
Don't wear a halterneck if you have broad shoulders - it will only accentuate them
Try to avoid strapless numbers if you have large boobs - you'll be forever pulling it up and it'll look top heavy
Do think about corseted tops as it'll "lock and load" you in.
Do think about halter tops, one-shoulder tops (with a nice flowing chiffon piece off the one shoulder maybe, or a large flower a la Carrie Bradshaw), and 2 strap tops.
If you have a nice back, show it off with a deep open back number, but make sure you buy the RIGHT bra to hold you up and not show bra straps.
If you have nice legs, consider a knee-length dress. I know it might be out there and you want a prom long dress, but a knee-length might be a nice fresh style/twist on the traditional prom dress.
If you've got a tiny waist and big hips, a tight bodice will look great as long as the skirt is floor-length and A-line. Choose a heavy material that won't hug your hips

I would say go with something like a Marilyn Monroe type dress or Halter top dress as they are called.... Don't be too revealing you are still young and shouldn't draw too much attention to yourself... My little sister had this problem she was a DD in high school and she wore a Halter Top dress and it really looked good... Happy hunting FYI you may want to check out some bridal shops they ususally have dresses on sale they are suitable for prom and they are a lot less expensive then Department stores

Halter dresses have the best support. They also keep your girls in and looking great. I wouldn't suggest the strapless style, you have more of a chance of "popping out." Not fun when you are dancing. A dress with large straps will allow you to wear a bra with straps, more support. Have fun!

Try a halter style.
http://www.PromDressShop.com has some good ones. Stay away from ruffles on the top, they will only add to your fullness.
