Want a Wedding Dress
that Flatters a Big Bust?

Tips to consider before shopping for your wedding dress

• Go bra shopping first
  Make sure you buy a bra that fits perfectly. Do Not go shopping for your wedding dress in an old, saggy sports bra. Brush up on your bra shopping skills
• Take one or two trusted friends with you. They won't be afraid to tell you their opinion and point out which wedding dress flatters a big bust.
• Go shopping on a day when you feel great. If you're having a bad hair day or PMSin', you're setting yourself up for a rough time.
• Call the Bridal Shops before you go and let them know you're coming. Some shops require an appointment. This might seem like a hassle, but it will insure that you have an attentive, supportive sale person totally focused on you.
• Always, Always be chummy with the wedding dress sales lady. She has seen hundreds of brides with different body types. She will have a very good idea about what will work for you. With this being said, don't let her push you into something that's not what you want. If you're just not 'clickin' with her personally, go somewhere else.
• Because of your larger bust, you may have to go up 3 or 4 sizes. Do not let this send you into a hopeless depression! It's totally normal. I wear a 10-12 and my wedding dress was a 16! It's just a number, forget about it.
• Try on lots of different dresses. You might be surprised what style you like. When you find the perfect dress you'll know, but make your dress prove itself by trying on several dresses even after you have the one. That way you'll feel confident that you made the perfect choice and not second guess yourself. The wedding dress I chose was the first dress I tried on, but I tried on another 5 dresses just to make sure.

Does One Size Fit All?

No Woman's body is exactly the same. This is especially true for women with large breasts.

I wish I could say, "this is the perfect dress for all women with large breasts!"

There are so many other factors to consider, (like hips, arms, tummies, and height) it's just not possible.

However, I can recommend certain characteristics of a wedding dress that flatters a big bust.

Hopefully, this will save you time when you're shopping because you will avoid trying on dresses that just won't work and you can zero in and focus on ones that will.

Guidelines for
Finding a Wedding Dress that Flatters a Big Bust

Neckline Tips

• A Sweetheart, V-neck, or Scoop Neck are Flattering
  Also, if you don't mind showing some skin, an off the shoulder look may be the right wedding dress that flatters a big bust.
  
  
• Avoid a high neckline.
  It will make your bust look bigger.
  
  
• Also steer clear of halter-top styles.
  
  
• Be tasteful when showing cleavage
  (heaven knows we have plenty of it) There's a fine line between classy and trashy.
  
  
• Bend-over and look in the mirror.
  Remember, at your wedding you'll be bending over to kiss your great-aunt Heidi in her wheelchair. Be mindful of what she'll be staring at. Besides, you'll have oddles of time to show-off this asset on the honeymoon.
  
  
• One Last Neckline Tip:
  Keep your neckline and bustline simple. It's best to avoid large embellishments, heavy beadwork or other large details on the bodice. It will be the first place people look and we're trying to downplay this area.
  
  

What about going strapless?

It's okay to show some skin

Just because I'm suggesting you should avoid strapless gowns, doesn't mean that you should dress like a puritan. Find a dress that will flatter your figure. With that being said, isn't the skirt of this dress unbelievably beautiful?
