Is my dress too sexy/show too much cleavage?

KPNC, on March 15, 2019 at 1:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17

I’m getting married outside in May in a nonreligious ceremony. I loved this dress when I bought it, but thought that it would provide a lot more coverage up top than it does. I’m feeling super self-conscious about the amount of chest showing especially since it’s a form-fitting dress. Seeking others’ opinions on whether it’s too much for a wedding dress.

    Not at all! But if you’re feeling self conscious, what about pulling up the spaghetti straps a bit or putting in a sheer modesty panel in the front.

    Oh my gosh that dress is GORGEOUS and looks amazing on you. I think the cleavage is just enough, and it makes you look so curvy. I love it!

    I think it looks great on you! I wouldn’t change a thing, but if you’re not comfortable maybe they could bring it together a little bit? 😊

    You look gorgeous, but this depends a lot on what’s normal for you. I would ask to have a modesty panel put in because I would be really uncomfortable and that much cleavage would be pretty scandalous to a lot of my guests. But that’s just me. Will you be in happy on your day wearing that or worried about too much exposure? I think wedding dresses and views of what’s appropriate are pretty varied so there’s no right answer.

    I think it is beautiful, but agree with a pp that it looks like it is a little big and a bit low on you. Ask your alterations person about lifting the whole dress up a little and shortening the straps. It may also need to be taken in around your ribcage, as that will help keep the dress up a little higher. As others have mentioned a sheer modesty panel will also close the V a little -- it won't really change the look of the dress, but you might feel more secure about making sure everything stays "tucked in" in front! Smiley winking Also, it looks like the bodice could have some more structure built in with cups (and possibly some boning) or a low-back bustier; if "the girls" are up a little higher and have more support, there might be less cleavage drawing the eye downward (and making the neckline seem lower). The bodice of daughter's dress had some commonality with yours and getting the fit as close to perfect as possible helped a lot -- but it took 3 alterations appointments and a lot of trial and error to get there. Good luck!

    I think it's beautiful! But if you're doubting, can you wear a bolero or shall or something for the ceremony and then take it off at the reception? That way you can also have 2 looks Smiley smile

    I don't think so at all! If you need to cover more, maybe put mesh over the cleavage area?

    I think it looks gorgeous as is! Not too revealing in my opinion. As others have mentioned you could have a modesty panel sewn in if it makes you feel more comfortable!

    I think it's a gorgeous dress, and you look absolutely stunning!! Not too much cleavage, imo, but if it's beyond your comfort level, there are things you can do with alterations, as others have said. Beautiful!!!

    I don't think so - but if you're not comfortable then I would add a panel - you don't want to be thinking that you're showing too much or wondering about it on the big day!
