I'm a plus-size girl who's super plus sized on top!  I'm currently a size 18 but am working my way down to a 14 (I've lost about 30 lbs so far) but my bust size (44DD) hasn't flinched, and I don't think it's going to.  I'm so worried about wearing a strapless gown because I don't want to be pulling it up all night, or worse, have heaving bosoms popping out all over the place!  I've tried on a few gowns with straps/halter/vneck, but they all make me look like a linebacker, drawing attention to my shoulders and big-bone frame.  Feeling sad, worried, and discouraged!

If you're a plus size girl who's well endowed on top, what type of dress do you feel flatters you the most?

Congrats on your weight loss!  my wedding dress is a size 14 though in stores I'm more like a 10, not sure how all that works, and I'm a 38DD on a 5'1" frame.  Here's my thoughts on dressing up "the girls" - for me anyway, a straight across strapless is the MOST flattering.  If you try to hide them under fabric they look bigger!  V necks and halters make me have way too much cleavage.  My dress actually makes my chest look smaller, very flattering.  I also recommend trying on dresses specifically sized for women.  My dress is from David's Bridal, size 14W.  The difference is that a W size leaves more room for an ample chest.  Moving on from the boobs, a higher-waist A line is flattering on everyone.  Any kind of ruching across the waist will hide any stubborn bulges, and the high waist A line paired with a well-dressed chest will give you a defined waist.  Definitely look for a dress with built-in structure, and invest in the right undergarments, especially a long-line backless strapless.  It'll basically rest on your hips, suck everything in, and hold your chest up.  Good luck!!
