If you don’t mind engaging in a brief discussion of my breasts, I could really use some input.
Ever since I liberated my dress from the clutches the bridal salon, I’ve been dying to post pictures. I haven’t been able to wrangle anyone into a photo session yet, but I’m going to go ahead and post some crappy, poorly lit, self-taken pics.
Because I need to know - am I crazy or do I need to have the bust on this bad boy altered, like, big time??
OK, you can’t really tell from those, so here’s an extreme close-up of the Lovejugs:
And another (in b&w because the lighting made my skin look horrific):
Can you see what I’m talking about? Doesn’t it look like it’s not really fitting (containing) me? And it’s worse when my arms are down.
I’m going to go ahead and make Weddingbee history (I think!) by being the first bee ever to come out of the breast implant closet. (Not that there ARE others, of course!) And I only do so to help explain my dilemma. I feel like them sh*ts are poppin’ out, yo. They’re so dang high.
I really don’t want to have to cut my beautiful dress if I don’t have to. But I have no perspective, am stressing big time, and I’d really appreciate honest opinions. I don’t want to look like a tray of boob hors d’oeuvres on my wedding day.
Should I order more fabric and have them make it more of a v-neck? Or do you think just tightening the straps and hitching it up as much as possible should be enough? (Bear in mind that the dress is super heavy and those straps really dig in.)
Thanks for stopping by my centerfold spread/confessional. 
I really don’t think that it looks bad, but maybe you should ask a seamstress to see what your options are if you are really uncomfortable. If you’re worried about them now, you def don’t want to be on the big day. BTW, you have a great figure and that dress is fantabulous on you! Totally jealous!
i second miss hydrangea. just haul it over to a seamstress and have them take a look..they know what’s going on (or hopefully they do) and should let you know what their professional opinion is… i had similar issues. my dress actually fit to a tee but there were tiny tiny minor adjustments i wasn’t sure if it was necessary…but i brought it into a tailor and she’s going to be able to make it perfect. you definitely want to be comfortable on your wedding day~!!
I think it looks gorgeous. As an endowed woman myself, I understand your self-consciousness and not wanting to be too boobilicious. From the front it looks great. And unless someone is 7 feet tall, I don’t think they will get the angle in the last picture. I don’t think you can hitch it up more - then the empire seaming will hit the boob. You can always add another panel, so it kinda looks like ruching, on top of the sweetheart, so it looks like it was part of the dress, not like an addition.
It’s hard to say…I think the dress looks great, but then have you done the bend over test? (hugging seated guests) the jump test? the reach test? the squeeze test? If they’re still in after all of those tests (and don’t ask your guy…they never help. 
), then you’re probably okay.
It might be a problem in a church, but I agree with Miss H. If you’re self-concious or uncomfortable with them, then you might want to look into some seamstress work. You don’t want to be worried about that on your wedding day.
I think you look great!
I totally understand how you feel (I turned down a gorgeous Ramona Keveza because I was uncomfortable with it being cut so low), but although you *feel* it’s not containing you, it really is and it looks great. It’s supposed to look that way. I agree with pp, though, take it to a seamstress and see if there’s anything s/he can do to make you more comfortable.
First and foremost, your tits are hot. That may be a totally inapropriate comment. That said, if youre comfortable, give those babies some air and show them off a lil Personally, I think the dress looks PERFECT the way it is, but I’m all for showing no skin but cleavage in my normal wear (I’m a long sleeve V-neck slut). I WOULDNT add material to the dress (ITS SO GORGEOUS) but I would take it into an experienced seamstress and see what she can do about maybe fitting the dress a little more to your curves, (not just the straps but maybe the sides or back too right around the bust?) maybe thats what will work. DONT ADD MATERIAL…please? For Pengy?
I agree with Miss Hydrangea and Angel. …and I’m jealous you have this problem.
For the record - you look AWESOME! Boobs and all.
That being said, I TOTALLY understand about not wanting to be all “Hi Grandma, welcome to my wedding, these are my boobies.”
On the upside, because the girls are, well, man-made, you don’t have to worry about them being all jiggly and falling out. Implants are def much better at staying in place than natural boobs are. So, while you might FEEL exposed, chances of anything actually falling out are very slim.
But still… feeling exposed isn’t all that peachy. SO… I don’t think I would cut the dress at all. It’s just way too pretty as is. But what if you added lace to the top. Basically just follow the same neckline with lace that either matches or compliments the lace that is aleady on the dress. Or maybe you could use ribbon. That would bring the whole neckline up about an inch or so. I think that would def help with the exposure feeling.
Hope this helps.
LOL Miss Penguin at being a long-sleeve v-neck slut. I’m totally a member of that club.
Lovebug, I think you look fantastic. If you’re really uncomfortable and think you’ll feel self-conscious, then a trip to a really great seamstress might be worthwhile. But honestly, I think you look gorgeous and your figure is to die for!
hilarious. you look fantastic. your friends look great and contained. they don’t look like they’re falling out or anything. but definitely try Angel’s tests and let us know!
Dude, I was gonna say the same thing at Pengy. Them babies look hot. I wouldn’t put more fabric on them. They look perfectly fine to me.
Daym the dress is sooooooooo ubber gorgeous on you!
You look smashing! But if you don’t feel 100% smashing, a trip to the seamstress to explore options is a good idea.
I totally see what you mean (esp. in the third picture). I wouldn’t make it a v-neck, but ask a seamstress what would help (teeners’ suggestion about the extra panel seems like it would work.) I wouldn’t tighten the straps because it seems to work with your body shape well as is.
Great dress! And you look fabulous in it. I love your honesty. =)
Take it to a seamstress and don’t wait till the initial appointment you probably already set up. It doesn’t even need to be the one you were planning to use. Use a recommended one and ask for a consultation and a quote. This way you find out what they think and know what you should be expecting whent eh actually work is done by the dress shop. It also allows you some time to order more fabric. In my opinion I think it probably just needs to be tightend here and there and a little adjustment. There may be enough fabric in the dress if the top needs to be let out a bit but you want to order fabric now if you can because you need to get the best color match possible.
It might also be good to grab a girlfriend and have her pull the straps or sides tighter at differnt angles so that you can tell if a little adjustment will dot he trick. Plus then you have an in person second opinion.
I think your boobs look great and I’m jealous. That said, I can see that the nipple seams are lower than they should be based on the size of your boobs. Have you tried lifting up your arms and jumping around? My fellow brides don’t know this, but I’ve gotten nip shots of them dancing and I wonder if it might happen to you too. If the girls manage to stay tucked, then don’t worry about it.
