I personally like strapless dresses that sit more in the armpit area with more chest coverage.
If you are comfortable with it then go with it, but I would be afraid that walking down the isle something might pop out or even more likely while dancing. I hate to say this, but I think girls with smaller chests can pull off the lower dress thing but since it looks like you've got a nice size chest, I would vote for more coverage.
I don't think it looks trashy at all! It looks like it fits you well, so I'm not entirely sure how a seamstress could adjust it. I'm a little more conservative than some, so I probably would not feel totally comfortable with the neckline, but it's YOUR dress, not mine. How do you feel about it?
I think it looks great and not too low! However, if you're going to be uncomfortable and self-conscious, you might want to ask your seamstress if there's anything she can do. You look beautiful already, now you want to make sure you're comfortable, too!
I think it is supposed to be that low. I know mine is! My boobies are all out there for everyone to see, lol. At least we've got something to show off!! Be glad you look so feminine is that gorgeous gown.
If you are feeling self-conscious, I recommend 1) Try getting used to the idea that it's ok to show a little skin and if that doesn't work 2) then talk to a seamstress, I'm sure they can add something to cover you up.
I think it looks beautiful. It doesn't look too low at all. It looks like it fits you perfect and you look gorgeous in it!
from my experience make sure you put it on the way you want day of! I was so excited when getting dressed with everything going on, photographers, people trying to undress me infront of everyone etc. I wish I had pulled it a tad higher on my chest. Once I was in it was too late to make adjustments!
Are you wearing a necklace with your dress? I think wearing a necklace that sits half way between your shoulders (bottom of neck) and the top of the dress would "even out" the space on your chest. Personally, I don't think the dress is too low, but a necklace would help divert eyes away from the edge of the dress
Thank you all for the opinions!! I almost started crying yesterday when I realized that it might not be working for me. I'm just so torn and a bit depressed. I'm sure you can tell from my pics that I'm a 'curvy' gal, and I was feeling hopeless that I wouldnt ever look good in anything. I'm not opposed to working with the seamstress to maybe add just a touch more of the toulle that they use at the top, but maybe a necklace would help a bit. I hadn't planned on wearing one because I bought huge earrings and planned to wear my hair up...
But now I'm wondering if I should nix that, wear my hair down so that it covers my shoulders a bit and then I could wear a big necklace to fill up the bareness. waa!
I think you look striking (in a good way) if you don’t feel comfortable I would suggest a bolero during the ceremony but definitely don’t mess with the dress it looks great.
How is the back of the dress made? It does look low to me, but the best test is the arms over the head and the sitting down test. If they're coming out even more when doing those things,you'll be adjusting and tugging on your dress all night.
The back of the dress comes to a V, but not an ultra low one... Here is a pic.
Thanks ladies!! Any and all opinions, suggestions welcome!!!

That dress is made to sit that way. It looks like the area for the boobs on that dress is just smaller than your sister would like. If you try to pull it up more, your boobs will be spilling out over the top or your boobs will fall under the seam where they are supoosed to go, and you don't want either of those.
I think it depends, and my advice would be:
If you are not used to wearing tops / dresses that low, do NOT wear that dress on your wedding day! I know I'd be feeling super self-conscious and would just want to cover myself all the time!!
(I LOVE the back of the dress by the way, especially the "trail")
i think it looks great; i have the same neckline - and it took me a minute, but my mom saw it and loved it and that was the test... :) you and your dress are stunning just the way it is!
Gah, that dress is GORGEOUS. It looks low, but it doesn't look like you're about to pop out of it. You look quite comfortable in it.
I think it looks absolutely fine, but I wonder if you feel uncomfortable it in. In one of the pics your hands are clenched and your lips are pressed together, and I'm reading that as you are not so comfortable. You don't want to be doing that on the day of, so maybe try wearing it around the house for a while to see if you get comfortable.
It looks very pin-up girl on you. I think you made a great choice!
@Chipmunk - Its a Casablanca 1914. Very pretty and inexpensive to boot. :) But man does it sit low...
@mrs. DG - haha, actually my mom was making me crazy during the try on so that's what atually had me looking like that. I didnt even think the dress was low until after the fitting when I saw the pics with my sister.
An update for all - I called the bridal shop and they have not hemmed the botom yet - I told them my concern and they said if I want it a teensy bit higher we can try to pull it up before they hem it, otherwise we can try different bras or a little extra lace at the top. Whew!!! So glad there are options. I still LOVE the dress and I think maybe its just a couple bad pics, but I need to be sure...you know? Thanks everyone for your support and comments. I'm glad that no matter what happens, its not a trashy look on me. I'll repost new pics after my fitting next wednesday :) Love this website!!!
Update to all bees :)
Feeling sooo much better - had my fitting today and they said my dress was slipping cause it was too loose in the waist. They are making it tighter now and it sits where it should :) Its still low but in a good way. Yayyy!
whew!! thanks everyone!
Bad pics but you get the idea :

@heathere: gorgeous! i can see the difference. i agree that it looks better now!
It probably can be altered to sit higher if it's a comfort issue, but it is not at all slutty looking, if that's what you're worried about. I tried on Reem Acra's "Flourish" and had the same problem of it sitting too low, and the consultant at Saks (it was a while ago!) said it would be altered so that I wouldn't be tugging it up all night. I ultimately went with a different dress, but not for that reason.
You look absolutely gorgeous, not too low at all. I agree with getting it higher only for your peace of mind, but it looks perfect. As long as nothing comes out when jumping around and flinging your arms up, you're good!

Hi All,
So I had my first fitting and I still love my dress BUT,
my sister points out it sits too low on my chest. What do you all think? Is there anything a seamstress can do to make this fit better in the chest area? Please help, feel free to be honest cause my date is fast approaching!!! It fits pretty good otherwise, but I'm wondering if I need to hike it up higher or add some lace to the top or something...since my sister thinks it seems the side view gets 'questionable'. I dont want it to look trashy. Help!!! Thanks!
Heather
