    I am beginning to second guess the dress I wanted to buy. I am afraid that the beading on the bust is going to make my D boobs look even bigger... which is the opposite of what I want! I looked great in the store but I also didn't have the light shining on it like I will on my wedding day. I do LOVE the beading on the bodice and the way it bunches. I am also wanting beading on the train... there MUST be a train!I can't find another dress that is similar without tons of beading on the boobs! HELP! If you don't think the beading will be a problem, let me know too.

     

    This is the origional dress

    I think once it's altered to sit flush against your chest, it won't have the effect of making your boobs look even bigger.  In the picture you attached, the top is coming away from your body, but with the right alterations, it shouldn't do that.

    I think the boobs look great in the dress.  But if it bugs you a lot then I would keep looking.  The dress gives you an amazing waist though.

    It looks like the top is pulled up a little high in that photo  I think it will actually minimize stuff a bit more if it's down lower; also, it looks like the bodice isn't fitting flush with your chest so even if you don't move it down, the alterations peeps can take it in.  I think that would help with your concern. 

    That said, if you are not 100% sold on this dress, keep looking!  You can definitely find something like that but without all the sparkle.

    I think if you wear your hair down maybe? I think that would take away from what you are worried about? If you love it, wear it. I think hair down with a veil would make it just great. Idk? Just me? It's really lovely on you! Haha, I have opposite prob, I got me an a-cup soooo..ya. Love your dress though! We all got an area we are self concious about that sometimes others don't even see. For me, it's my hips..some people say I got some..some people say I don't. I think I do but others are like..um no..you are fine. We can be way too hard on ourselves then need be. Try to give yourself a break, I mean..unless you are Dolly Parton...then your boobs are just fine. You look great and with the veil..it will complete the look maybe:). Good luck!

    I think the dress looks beautiful! I remember with my dress I didnt like the way the top stuck out a bit so I had them put in an elastic which held it against my boobs better. You look awesome though! It is about your comfort level though!

    She is actually tightening the corset in that picture so that the dress would fit better on my chest. After she did that it didn't stick out like you are seeing there.

    I think it's gorgeous and flattering! Your boobs don't look too big! In fact, I think that "swoopy" ruching makes them look a bit smaller. Lovely dress - I vote keep it.

    @kfricke89:  I wore Alfred Angelo 2084 which has a very beaded bodice...similiar to yours.  I am a DD and it did not make me look any bigger than I already am.  Several pictures of me show me "shimmering" and they are still very flattering pictures.  You look absolutely gorgeous in your dress.  If you love it, buy it!

    This is the model:

    I love that dress on you! Like mcnetn3 says when it's sitting flush against you it will look better. I think that dress gives you a great figure - boobs, tiny waist, it gives you a good hourglass.

    It is beautiful.  Your chest looks fine and the belly area is very flattering.  I think sometimes strapless dresses are kind of wrong for big chested girls but this looks great on you!

    I think this dress is just amazing on you! I hope you dont change your mind!!!

    The sparkle is just enough and if anything it looks great on your chest, not overkill!

    Too beautiful of a dress to reconsider!

    I love the way the dress looks on you, I don't think it makes your chest look bigger.  It actually gives you a really nice hour glass shape of which I wish I had.

    @tksjewelry: I do love that it brings out the hour glass figure... Not many things let me show that off and it is the real reason I fell in love with the dress in the first place.

    I think if you love the dress, don't worry about the beading.  The dress will look more 'sparkly' with flash photography.  If you have concerns, talk to your photographer about getting some natural light shots.  Plus photographers have much more sophesticated camera equipment and can do wonders.  I've tried that dress on and it is beautiful, I also think the other posters have a great point that the dress will look different once it's tailored to fit your body.  Don't panic.
