    Don't worry about making them look smaller you are the beautiful the way you are and so many people wish for bigger! I would suggest foregoing a strapless style so that they stay "in". If you get a dress with straps you won't be concerned while dancing around and having fun. Just go to your wedding dress shopping experience being open minded and seeing what you feel beautiful and comfortable inSmiley smile

    Corset back dresses really help with this issue!

    I will add that I am busty and didn't think a strapless was a good idea, but found a strapless dress that was full coverage (not plunging, didnt sit really low) and in the right sizes holds me in fantastically!

    My friend is very busty, she wore a corset backed dress. That helped a lot.

    I had the same concerns. I was very worried about the dress situation and it was much easier than I thought. Try on everything!! You won't know what you feel comfortable in until you try. I thought strapless was out of the question, but I have a strapless gown. It's low cut in the back so I had trouble finding a bra. My seamstress was not able to put in cups because they weren't big enough, but she is adding extra boning to the bust area so I won't even need a bra. My normal Bra size is 32H and dress size 8 for reference.

    The one thing I can recommend for sure is the sweetheart neckline looked best on me regardless of the style of dress or sleeves.

    How top heavy are you? That will help us give suggestions.

    I'm a 36DDD and I feel your pain! I ended up going with a dress with straps, but I think there are plenty of strapless dresses that would work once sized correctly. The biggest thing I'm worried about is getting the right bra for the slightly low back that my dress -- anyone who tells you that you can sew cups into the dress is just wrong when you get above a certain size.

    @audrey Try perky pear tape. I've heard from busty ladies that it works wonders. @OP GO WITH A CORSET! They are your best friend!

    I am a 34E and also doing a corset top - no bra required and the boning keeps the girls firmly in place!

    G cup here and I wore a strapless, corset back. my girls were kind of popping out because we ended up having to tie it tighter around the chest because it couldn't be pulled any tighter in the waist. I dropped at least 10 pounds between my final fitting and the wedding day without trying. I did have a longline strapless bra sewn into my dress that helped a ton!!

    No high necklines v necklines, cross over or lap something to show a little boobs but not too much, no empire waistline drop waistline if possible nothing with pleats or ruching by the bust area

    34G, I found a dress, and you will too! Try everything on and don't shy away from something just because you think it won't work.
