Sweetheart neckline for smaller busts?

The dresses you tried on, did they have straps at all?

I have a small bust and have found sweetheart necklines to give me a curvier appearance and the illusion of having more there. Combined with a push up strapless bra, it seems to work for me. Certainly don't looker smaller...

Having said that, you need to feel comfortable in your dress.

I felt great in both the dresses but now two days on, it's starting to niggle away at me and I'm starting to worry about it ?

Neither had straps, and I tried them both on with a little 3/4 sleeve jacket thing as well (cant remember the proper name for it).

It has been more years than I'm willing to admit since I was an A cup ? so I'm definitely not talking from personal experience here but I do think a sweetheart bustline will help define the shape of your bust

HTH

I'm an A cup too and my dress has a sweetheart neckline as I felt it was quite a flattering shape on my small bust. I tried a few straight ones and they didn't look right on me.

It was hard to imagine what it will look like when properly fitted because the busts on the sample dresses are huge, some of the really stiff ones sat out a mile from my chest and looked ridiculous.

My dress is lace up and it felt pretty secure once I was clamped into it in the shop, I am having straps but I was surprised that I felt comfortable without them. If you liked the dresses with the sweetheart neckline then I'd go for it, I would't worry about how your chest looks in it.

If you really did love the dresses, go back and ask the shop to provide some material to use as mock-up straps. Try all sorts of different ways of wearing he straps (halter neck, one shoulder etc) and see if that helps. IMO straps provide a completely different look! It may help your confidence.

Im small bust too- and i had a sweetheart dress with jacket and felt i had ''shape'' if you look at mrsrawe2b to post you'll see a pic of my dress on there

? small chest here too, i found sweethearts to look really nice on with my smaller chest as opposed to those whos boobs are practically falling out lol so not jelous ?

I have a small bust and a sweetheart neckline definately looks more flattering on me.

Small bust too...my dress is sweetheart and I have to say it was the most flattering of all necklines I tried on.

Personally I think small busts suit smaller busts as it helps emphasise what you have. Plus they look really delicate and pretty ? I would suggest going back and trying the dresses on again with this in mind. X

Cant really comment factually on this as I am a DD BUT I think they really suit smaller chested girls as they give a really feminine line and add shape. In my opnion a straight across dress can look like you have bandaged your chest flat! I am jealous of your A cup to be honest as cant stand it when boobs are spilling out over the top of a dress or by the armpits!

This is all good to hear. Really is settling my worries. I guess I'm just worrying too much, as I've never worn a sweetheard neckline in any top or dress before (to be honest, I own very little dresses - and the only strapless was my prom dress I wore once years ago).

Quite excited to go back again now before I put any deposit down on it, as I think I know which of the 2 I'll go for ?

Hi Hun. A little input from the other side. I'm a GG cup and A sweetheart neckline did nothing for me.it look like I was showing off way to much for a bride. I would agree with the others that it suits a smaller bust.

Live fallen in love with a dress online that only showed the dress from the side and back......yep it has a sweetheart neckline.

Im quite small chested and i have a sweetheart neckline on my dress too ? It definately makes me look curvier than i am, ive also had padded bits sewn into the dress to help abit too ?
