Is there any way that they can raise the neckline?
If not it still looks great! I would go with your hair down and maybe a large necklace?
Just my thoughts!
I think that if you wore a large and slightly higher necklace, you would be fine and could still get away with having your hair up.
The dress is gorgeous, btw., but the neckline is too low, IMO. It looks like your dress is just about to slide down.
You have gorgeous bone structure, shoulders, and arms. I think the dress looks absolutely perfect. Will you be wearing any jewelry? A double stranded pearl necklace or something large, a statement pc similar to Miss Panther?
I agree that it is a little too low. You have a fantastic body though and look great! See if they can adjust it. It does look like it is falling down.
I see where you're coming from. But I think it's more apparent because your hair is up, your chest is bare and the style of the neckline emphasises your womanly bits. So yeah i'd give hair down a try ;)
As of now i think it looks fine, IMO its a little low. What I am more concerned about is what will happen when you wear it for the day. My dress fit like a glove when i put it on at 11:00am but by 3:00 we had to pull it up and redo the corset as it just strecthed from being "worn in"". Im worried that yours might become loose and then go a little to low, if you know what i mean.
First off, your dress is really beautiful! I wouldn't say "way too low" but maybe just a bit lower than ideal. I think a statement necklace and hair down could cure it though... if you are into that kind of look.
I love the neckline!! Like a pp said you have beautiful bone structure. With your figure you can pull this off and not have it look vulgar. I love it!!! Once you're all done up with the hair and veil and jewelry you won't feel so naked. It will feel natural and formal.
You're stunning!!
I think it looks a bit low, but from the side it seems to sit where it needs to to keep your "bits" covered. I would think adding a statement necklace will help remove that feeling of being "bare."
The dress is beautiful, I love the back, but I do think that the cut is a little low. Could some kind of sticky tape hold it up a bit higher and ensure no slippage on your big day?
I think it is perfect, the ideal canvas for a stunning statement necklace. I large necklace will really break up that space still allowing you to wear your hair up.
I think it looks great and with your figure it doesn't look like you are about to fall out. (i'm in the same DontHaveMuchUpTop boat as you). You can totally pull this look off! But, if you are uncomfortable with how love it is, see if they can add some material to the back of the sweetheart (still keeping the added material in a sweetheart shape as well). But, again, I think it looks fabulous on you and once you are all 'dolled up' I think it'll look even more glam! :)
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and kind words! I emailed the seamstress to see if we could hike it up a bit, so I guess I'll see what she says.
As for a necklace, I know that my fiance bought me a pendant as a wedding gift, but it's not a statement piece at all. Bummer. I will see what the seamstress can do and then work on my hair and the jewelry.
Thanks again! You ladies are the best!
I think it looks great on you, but I once heard from a seamstress that with strapless dresses, in order to feel comfortable, the dress should fall around six inchese below the shoulder line......
I think you gown looks really great on you; however, if it were me wearing it, I would also think the bodice is too low. There are a couple of options; ask the seamstress if she can make the bodicie go higher or add some fabric, lace or satin, behind the bodice that is already there, or when you add your necklace, that may alter the look some.
What happens when you raise your arms in the air? You might not think you will be doing that much; but you probably will. Adjusting your veil, dancing, hugging. I would test it out really moving around and not just standing stationary and see what happens. It does look a little low but I'd say it would depend if it stays in place or if everything else comes up except the dress when you raise your arms... wonderful Dress!
@Miss Olive: I think it's beautiful! However, if you feel uncomfortable, maybe try having a longline strapless bra/bustier sewn into the dress? There are many great ones specifically made for bridal gowns so they won't show through under the fabric. If you find one that fits well they could sew it into your dress so it stays kind of anchored onto your torso. :)
I like it. That's how they always have the dresses styled in the advertisments, low with a lot of chest, but not a lots of breast showing, and I think it looks fabulous. So fabulous that I am jealous, you look slender and very fashionable.
IMO the neckline is a little low. Your dress is gorgeous!
I have long, blonde hair--so I was thinking something like this might work with the dress. The over-all feel of my wedding is vintage, so this hairstyle could be perfect and solve the problem of feeling bare.

I love your dress and it fits perfectly on you! I think having your hair down will compensate a little for having the dress a little lower. However, my only concern is the same as some of the PPs - when you go to raise your arm, your dress will slip down. There are a few pictures of me where I'm in a group picture and I have my arms around the backs of the people next to me and my dress was dangerously low even though it was pretty high before the picture. I would talk to the seamstress during your next fitting and see if there's anything she can do. Usually they can do miracles we weren't aware of! Good luck!
I think the reason why it looks so low is not necessarily b/c of the dress but b/c of your body proportions. From the pictures I'm seeing it seems like you have a lot of space between your shoulders and where the apex of your bust starts, which is why the dress itself looks slightly too low. I would probably ask the alterations person if there's anything that can be done to raise the top of the dress, or else consider getting a bolero. A necklace might also help to break up the space at the top of your chest. Having your hair down would have the same effect.
@jmb584:I actually thought of that, too. I'm rather tall (5'11"), so I'm longer in general. I think it might be my body in general. There's no changing that!
Is that a seam I spy under the bustline? If so, there should be enough seam allowance in that area to give a few more inches of bust height. I too have a long measurement between my shoulders and bustline, so I totally know the feeling. However, your bone structure is great and the dress is stunning!
I don't think it's too low but I would wear a statement necklace to fill in the space. No need to wear your hair down.
I think it is a touch too low, gives the impression of saggy boobage :/ I'd definitely see if they can raise it an inch or so!

Hi everyone! I had my first fitting yesterday, and I really love my dress, but I'm afraid that the neckline is a bit too low. I'm not sure what can be done about it. I was planning on wearing my hair up for the wedding, but maybe I should wear it down to compensate. I don't have boobs to speak of, so I don't really have to worry about anything falling out. I just want to look great. What do you all think? Is it something everyone will notice or will it be ok?
