Weddingbee boards

So I've decided to just stick with my dress after all my dress regret that I had, eventhough it's not exactly what I wanted in a wedding gown. I still have a little, but I'm also a little more excited to see it in person when it comes in. It comes in in August. I am debating on making it a sweetheart neckline or not. I am very petite up top (34 A/B) so I don't have much to work with to give me a little cleavage like I would love to have instead of a 'straight chest' look like a 12 year old :(. Unfortunately I was not blessed in this department :(. I was thinking maybe a sweetheart neckline would give me a little something. It's what I orginally wanted in a dress, but as you see...it's not one :(. So should I get it sweethearted?

Also, I have been looking all over for bustiers and no luck. Where are you getting your undergarments from? I am in need of a good push up one that will not make seam lines in my dress, but also gives me a bit more something up top. I need the really low back ones because my dress is low in the back.

Thanks bees for all your help!

Sorry about the weird face...they caught a pic at the wrong time lol

It looks to me like it already has a soft sweetheart, so I like it as is. I think the softness of the neckline really goes well with the overall look of the dress. But if you like a full sweetheart, I'm sure it will look gorgeous!

Well, you definitely don't look like a 12 year old boy. It's not straight across, as your description made me think. I really think it's beautiful the way it is.

Maybe try looking for the push up bras? Or get the clear gel inserts and put in there and then see how you feel about it, if you don't feel "feminine" enough.

Good Luck and keep us updated:) :)

Are you kidding! This dress is soooooooo you! You look amazing and I wouldn't worry that you weren't blessed in that area! Seems your fiance lloves you just the way you are! Embrace that beauty. That dress is breathing on you!

I think with all that beading it could be VERY expensive, and you may lose the beautiful look of the neckline.

I think you look so great, and you may just not see it now. I would invest in good undergarments like others have suggested.

I have a larger chest, but after having kids they dont defy gravity anymore, so I bought a fantastic underbust authentic corset, which moves them up, then a good push up to shape them. I am not sure if that would help you out, but it made all the difference to me. (one issue though is if your not used to them, and dont have time to work them in and tighten you may have about 1/4 inch extra around your body.)

another idea is depending on the boning you can have more added along with the cups added.

get cups sewn in. i am the same size and i actually have cleavage for once in my life.

Your dress is beautiful just the way it is, NO need to sweetheart. As the other ladies have mentioned, it has a slight sweetheart already which gives you a very nice shape. Perfect! As far as undergarments sounds like sewn in cups may be the way to go. You look absolutely beautiful and very happy in the dress... NO more dress regrets for you!!

Thank you to all the helpful comments :). I just really want my fiance's jaw to drop when he sees me and I want to feel like a princess. I have decided to go buy one of my favorite push up bras from Fredrick's and get that sewn into my dress instead of having to worry about getting a good "push up" effect with something I've never tried. The dress comes in next month and I'm pretty nervous to try it on finally with a big petticoat I have in hopes it will give me the right effect I'm looking for.

@Sschaf: I think it can be tightened a little more. I have lost a few pounds too so it will be even loser on me. I am also wanting to get it taken in to make the corset lace up a bit wider and defined and that way I can tighten it as much as I need without worrying that the corset seems too narrow.

I wouldn't make it a sweetheart because you'd lose all that beautiful detailing at the top. As far as undergarments, you might want to wait until your first fitting. I bought a bustier that was more than I should have spent before my first fitting and it didn't even end up working because you could see it if you looked down at my chest.

@FloretteLiz: That's my plan :). I'm gonna go buy it next weekend, then when it comes in and if I don't like it then I will just have another regular undergarment :).

@blg529: I've started thinking that too :/. Plus I am gonna add lots of swarovski crystals in that area, on the side and on the appliques in the skirt. I won't have an actual "first fitting" until I move to California in 6-8 months :(. We are military so I had to buy the dress out here because by the time we move back to california it would have been too late for me to order a dress and I would have been too busy to do it too :/.

Th dress looks beautiful on you!!! I would change it to a sweetheart. Also, you can ask the seamstress to sew "cups" in which can give you a little oomph in that area (not that you need it) but might make you more confident.

Thanks you guys! I didnt even realize I had more replys, sorry for the delay :(. I think Im gonna do cups and my favorite brand bra sewn in. I just want a little more "umph" for once in my life. 

I like the neckline the way it is...
