Bridesmaid boob dilemma

Have you asked them if they want to minimise their boobs? I'm a G cup and I'd be quite offended if someone suggested I should be ashamed of my boobs and try to hide them.

My girls both have much bigger than average boobs! We bought dresses from the bridal shop that were proper lace up and strapless, but one requested a halter neck for support, so we added that. You won't, and certainly don't need to be, conscious of your boobs on your big day. Buy the right dress, and good underwear if necessary, and forget about cup sizes!

When i bought my wedding dress i found that a sweetheart neckline was much more flattering on my boobs than anything that was straight across. Generally speaking anything that is v-shaped neck is more flattering for bigger sizes. My dress is strapless but i'm having something added as don't want my dress to need hitching up at the front all day. I dont like it when u can see the bones in a dress folding because its weighed down by boobs! But a good fit and ur bridesmaids being comfortable are probably most important

I don't think their boobs need minimizing. I have a B cup, and all of my ladies are at least a DD cup!! Hey ho, I work with what I have (luckily my man is a 'bum-man')!

As for dress cut, I know 2 of my BMs would prefer to wear a dress that is a halterneck style because that is what they feel comfortable in, but is not to necessarily to 'minimize' anything. To be honest, I doubt their boobs will cross your mind on your big day anyway, so try not to worry!

I can understand where you're coming from if you feel self conscious about your boobs - but honestly, not a single person at your wedding will be looking at you and thinking 'wow she looks amazing, just a shame that her boobs are smaller than her bridesmaids eh?'

If your BMs wanted to wear something super low cut that you thought was inappropriate that's one thing. In this case I'd just find something that was flattering and comfortable to wear, and focus on you feeling awesome not making them look different!

Completely agree with this

Me too! I know a lot of people have said they're a bit shocked at your attitude towards your BMs' dimensions, but I can understand that you're coming on here to share and want advice that you perhaps might not be able to ask for in "real life", so just keep remembering that you are the bride, YOU are going to be the centre of attention on your day, and it doesn't matter if your BMs' chesticles are the size of Mars.

There's some good advice above re necklines, and if you really do want to give yourself a boost on the day you can always ask a seamstress to sew padding into the dress, or get push up undies.

One of our ushers has boobs bigger than my head. Seriously!

You are going to be the bride - the one in the beautiful white dress, the centre of attention, the one glowing with joy and excitement at marrying the love of her life. People are going to see that, not that your boobs are smaller than the bridesmaids'.

Now, there are certain cuts of dresses that are very unflattering on ladies with bigger breasts, and you may well want to avoid those and/or find a style which ensures they can wear a bra, but I don't think that minimising their assets should be your main focus in dress hunting.

No these are my two best friends, who both want boob reductions but the price is too high. I would never want to offend them at all. I know my dress and cut is beautiful and they agree but they both think they look too big and think they look awful net to me. While I think I look small next to them so if we could swap that would be great. One of them likes the support of straps or at least one shoulder but the other doesn't care as long as her cleavage isn't out. I was sincerely asking for help but people seem to have taken it personally.

I think your last post explains the conumdrum better ?

My suggestion would be to see if there is a pepperberry shop near you - its a bravisamo brand which specialises in clothes (including dresses) for those with a fuller bust - everything is specifically styled. If you don't have one near by you can always have a look online at the style of dresses as this will give you a good indication of what to go for elsewhere.

I've always wanted to shop there as they have some beautiful styles but I definately don't fall into the boob range!

Your second post on this provides much better context and had that been your first post then the responses would have been very different Your first came across as rather bridezilla tbh hun and it's why I didn't reply at all as a lady with more than she wants I was offended by what you'd said. But now I understand it much better

It's all about everyone looking and feeling their best on whay is your and your OH's day and cut of dress makes such a difference. As has been said - certain necklines are a no no and there are ways of concealing a cleavage by getting a modesty panel sewn in. But you have loads of time to shop around, have some fun together, and find what works the best and complements your dress etc. A good bridal boutique will cater for bridesmaids of all shapes and sizes and will be able to guide you. Depending on your budget you could buy from a bridal boutique, or get their ideas and shop on the high street. What matters the most for larger ladies is the supprt and that comes from good foundation garments - ie a flipping good bra. Go to a speciallist lingerie shop and get them properly fitted. The right bra really makes a differemce in how your boobs look and needs to be right for the chosen dress/es.

Your second post makes it much clearer. To be honest I thought you were a troll so didn't respond

If you have a decent budget try a bridal boutique. They will have a style that should suit your BMs and hold them in. Generally I'd go for something with straps or a halter neck. I'd stay clear of strapless unless it's a really good quality dress with good support.

To be honest I would focus more on making your BMs feel comfortable and less on how you look next to each other. You're the bride so you'll be the center of attention. Nobody will be interested in their boobs.

As Pammy said, get them measured up. The right bra makes a huge difference!
