Pulling up the dress - big boobs

mrswinteriscoming, on August 23, 2020 at 10:09 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Hey brides

I am very busty, and being natural, my 'ladies' don't defy gravity.

My dress has boning in it, and I will be adding off the shoulder strap-sleeves to it, however I am concerned I will be pulling it up all day! I didn't choose a sleeved/strapped dress as I just didn't like any of the ones I tried on.

I am hoping that extra boning in the bust will help with this.

Anyone else been in the same boat? What did you do?

    The dress I used for “save the date” photoshoot had 4 boning in it. It’s an over the shoulder dress. Like you said, big boobs causing a problem. I couldn’t bend down without the girls being spilled out! My seamstress added 2 super thin cups and added 4 more bonings (2 right in front of the girls) , and not wearing any bra was the trick for me. Ask your seamstress. She should know what to do. Each dress is different. Good luck!

    Daughter's dress had a lot of boning/built in structure and tiny beaded straps that looked really pretty, but offered no practical support. She's a tall, thin 36DD. Her dress had a very low back. We couldn't find any bra that would work. The key ended up being that the bodice of her dress needed to be taken in to make it as tight as possible, and then her alterations woman added two sets of cups -- one set of "push-up" cups just below her chest and a small set inside the top edge of the sweetheart neckline. The result was that she was held snugly, but comfortably in place. The last thing she would have guessed she'd need was push-up cups since she's spent a good part of her adult life trying to minimize her chest, but it worked perfectly! She looked gorgeous and felt comfortable and secure all night, no matter how much wild crazy dancing she did. Good luck!

    I had the same problem. I did not want a strapless dress. I’m having lace straps added but I’m certain they won’t add any support. The designer of my dress insisted I didn’t need a bustier, and told me to try my dress on without it because it would ruin the shape of my dress. She was so wrong. My bustier was specifically made for A line dresses and it made a world of difference. My boobs no longer pulled down my dress. My seamstress also told me that I’m suppose to put the dress over my head, oddly enough it changed the way the dress laid on my body and it didn’t seem to fall down like it did before.

    I had a strapless sweetheart neckline on my dress. I am a 34G in US sizes, so I know the struggle. My dress had boning and a built-in invisible corset inside. Ny seamstress took the dress in around my chest so it would be tight, and that along with making sure the corset was tied tightly before zipping up the dress made the girls stay in tact pretty much all night (I started having to pull it up within the last hour or so of the reception. I'm assuming the corset laces loosened over time with all the dancing and such). I wore no bra and the seamstress advised against cups because they would made me spill out of my dress. I would definitely say to find a good seamstress and see what she has to say.

    Making the dress tight enough is key, but make sure it’s not so tight that you’re spilling out the top or sides. Good luck...I’m a 34 ddd so I know the struggle.
