    MsAnnaLytical    March 13, 2010   Orlando, FL--finally with my FI!

    I am absolutely dead-set on having a tulle skirt on my wedding dress. The problem is, I can't seem to find a dress with a tulle skirt that doesn't scream "I want to be a ballerina."

    I also have a problem finding a dress that accommodates the, er, girls. I'm afraid to get a strapless dress- what if the girls find an unforeseen escape route?! Yikes!!

    Does anyone have any pictures of non-ballerina-esque wedding dresses, or any advice on what kind of top/neckline I should consider if I'm bigger on top and don't want to hoe myself out on my wedding day? I'd rather steer clear of cleavage...without being overly modest.

    Any advice?

    I'm a 36DD. I'm feelin' ya! I got a corset dress....it's AMAZING. I'm in there good and solid (no escaping!) and since i don't have to wear a strapless bra (and we all know how bulky they are at those sizes) i look slimmer and less chesty. I got a sweetheart neckline. I think it's the way to go. The other ones all blocked me out and just made me look fat! Maggie Sottero is a good place to start I think

    Try the Sophia Tolli Lynette (it is from the Fall 2007 collection) it has nice straps (i have 34Fs) and it also has tulle on the bottom. I too wanted tulle without the little dancer look.

    Check the Anjolique website - I believe the style number is #1005.  It should be on the eleventh page of the collection!!!  I am looking into getting this one - It has halter illusion straps and is mermaid style - only the lower part of the skirt is tulle!  It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

    No idea on the tulle, but a sweetheart neckline or a v-neck is the way to go.  I found that any sort of straight-across top made them look like one giant boob.  If the top is big enough (and definitely order it big enough!) then there is enough fabric there to cover everything up nicely.  Your seamstress can sew a thread along the top of the dress line and pull it in to force it to lay nicely across the top of your chest. 

    I wear a 34G and I found strapless dresses with corsets to be surprisingly comfortable!  Unfortunately, I was uncomfortable with the backfat issue (heehee!) so I went with one with straps and a zippered back.  The front of my dress dips low, so I am adding a privacy panel (either made of lace or fabric) so my cleavage doesn't scare anyone away.

    I agree with so many of the responses on here! I looked forever for a dress for my large chest that didn't make me look bigger than I was or "blocky". Maggie Sottero is the way to go!
