if u are big-breasted what kind of wedding dress should u wear?

Question

and i'm not overweight

i wear 36DDD i would normally wear medium size clothes but i can't because of my breast.

Answer 1

It's really hard to say. A lot of people are going to tell you to stay away from strapless, but I don't really agree.

Everyones breasts are shaped differently. What looks bad on one big breasted bride, might look fine on another. It's b/c some people have more breast tissue on the sides of there breasts, some on the tops of the boobs, some on the bottoms.

I would try every different type of style on. Walk around with the dress on, jump up and down, maybe do a quick dance. It's silly, but you'll be able to see how your breasts will work in the dress.

Plus, a good tailor can sew in a bra. Which can make a huge difference. Try on a bunch of different styles.

Answer 2

The best advice I can give is don't rule out any particular cut. Try on a few dresses with different cuts, such as halter, strapless, sweetheart...etc. Don' focus too much on the simplicity or details until you nail down the cut that suits you the best. I wear a 38 I (thats an i) and I am wearing a strapless gown. Its goregous and my breasts hold the gown up wonderfully. I would never have expected that from a strapless dress, so keep your options open!

Answer 3

With the beauty of alterations and sewn-in cups... you can wear whatever the dickens you want!! I personally would avoid anything two low, for obvious reasons. Halters are good, but not your only option.

The important thing to remember here, is that when ordering your dress... you're gonna have to order a dress larger than what you're used to. Dont get upset. Its just the way it is. Your waist maybe an 8, your hips maybe an 8, but if your chest is a 12... guess what? You're ordering the 12!!

Its always easier to take something in, than it is to let things out.

Answer 4

I have 38 G breasts and wore a sweetheart cut strapless gown. I had no problems keeping it up either, so that kind might work best too! Also don't get something too tight across the chest or too detailed if the bottom isn't detailed at all as it will bring attention to the chest, which shouldn't be the attention getter at the wedding!

Answer 5

Stay away from a halter dress. It is not very complimentary & then you have to be concerned about the whole "am I falling out" scenario.

Try strapless, off the shoulder straps, or even (and this is totally dependent on if you don't want your chest to be the focal point of all the picutres & such) a dress with a sheer piece. Even a dress with a shawl or jacket would be nice. All depends on when & where your wedding takes place.

Good luck.

Answer 6

At Macy's+ JCPENNEY they sell a minimizing strapless bra (although it comes with attachable straps) by Lilyette. That bra changed my life. I have DD's too, and had to fit into a strapless as a bridesmaid. I picked up that bra and I went from feeling totally uncomfortable in the dress, to confident and perfect. I then used the same bra in my wedding dress. Once the "ladies" are contained appropriately, you can go try on any dress that you like.

Answer 7

Try on every style, and you'll get a better idea of what looks good on you. How tall you are and how curvy you are overall will also affect how a dress will fit. The only way to know for sure is to spend time trying on as many different dresses as you can- you might be surprised about what looks good on you.

Answer 8

I had my wedding 3 months ago and I have big breast too and when I first tried my dress on it had no straps, I had it altered to have straps and everything changed. My now husband said to me that all he could see was my breast all whole entire time.....but said he enjoyed the view. I suggest one that u will not alter and don't have ur front view hanging out.

Answer 9

i am the same size. I wore a dress with sleeves, so i could wear a corset under. but you could wear something with only straps as long as they are wide enough to cover the straps.

you could also try a strapless corset and go strapless. oh the cleavage! your groom will go wild. ha!

Answer 10

I am a DDD and I have to disagree with the respondents who said halter. I find halter's make large-breasts look even bigger and I avoid them no matter what I wear.
I find a sweetheart neckline to be very flattering, even a little showy (pointing out that you can fill out the dress) but they tend to look good, not exagerating your bust.
The earlier respondent who said different things look good on different shapes, is right. Your best bet is to try the dresses on and see what you like.
