Kristy, I enjoyed reading this thread and I love your final choice. My daughter is also 5'3" and busty. She wore strapless with a drop waist. It was a ball gown skirt with lace so the eyes were drawn down to the skirt. The bodice was fitted very well so she didn't even wear a bra though her alterations lady rolled her eyes about that.

Thank you Kristy for your comments! Over the past 25years in business, designing and altering wedding dresses, I have gained a lot of insight on bridal fashion and fit from working with many figure types. I decided to pass that information on to brides, like yourself, so that they will be armed with some knowledge of what to look for when trying to find that perfect dress.<br />

I think you made a good choice with the Maggie Sottero wedding dress. Even though a <a href="http://www.perfect-wedding-dress-finder.com/strapless-wedding-gowns.html" target="_blank">strapless wedding gown</a> can be a challenge for some full busted brides to wear, having a "high" strapless neckline (which seems to be the case with your gown) will hide most cleavage problems.

There will be some additional adjustments that will need to be made to the gown to accommodate you cup size when it is time for alterations. You want to make sure that you have a smooth fit at the top edge. Your gown should not gap or fit so tight that it causes a "muffin top" appearance.<br />
<br />
The detailing on the dress in the fabrics and design focus attention more on the mid-section of the dress while wearing it. The fact that this is an a-line silhouette, is flattering. It probably took some time to find it but it seems that you may have found your perfect wedding dress. Or at the very least, you now know what to look for if you are still looking around.<br />

Mermaid would work well and so would off-the-shoulder, but any v-dip in front is awful. I have had many different women with me and several bridal consultants and everyone agreed that it was unflattering. Unless I have an overwhelming desire to have everyone look at my chest instead of my face on my wedding day, then dips in the chest line should be avoided. In my case (32DD-E) I can make a dress that looks elegant on other women - look trashy. Not the look I think most women are going for.<br />

What about a mermaid style dress? I like the idea of the off-the-shoulder with a v-dip in front; a very fitted style from the chest down and then a mermaid style dress with a lengthy train. The fitted style as opposed to a ballroom style will give you the appearance of being tall/thin as opposed to swalling you up. Hope this helps.

Just as an FYI in case anyone else runs into this, I figured out what dresses work best for me. Dress after dress that I tried on, certain styles stuck out as more flattering than others.<br />
Strapless with either a straight across neckline or a tiny dip. Most sweetheart necklines made me look vulger. Halter were a nightmare. Styles that had darts/beading/lace/etc that were around the chest area tended to make them look bigger. The only exception to this was an all over lace dress that I loved.<br />

<br />
To draw attention away and higlight other features, I found out that the drop waist/fit-and-flare/a-line styles worked best. Those helped with both the large chest problem and the short problem. Empire stlyes and styles with a band going straight across the waist were a disaster. Made my chest look bigger and me look frumpy/stumpy. Wide sashes that were a-symetrical were a good bet as it drew the eyes down and focused on my waist.<br />
<br />
Corset dresses were a must and helped provided much needed support (Maggies Sottero and Allure has some great ones.) They are extremely figure flattering for girls like me. Ballroom style dresses swallowed me and made me look silly, but that may be a personal preference thing. I'm not sure it had any large bearing on the problems I described.<br />
<br />
If you are curious what one won out in the end, here is a peak (but I warn you, I have YET to see a picture that does this dress justice. You really have to see it in person):<br />

Hi Kristy D,<br />
<br />
I read your reply, and I can relate to the frustration of not finding that one Item that will make you feel beautiful and confident! Do you have a favorite top that you like or wear a lot ? One that you consider a perfect style or fit for you ? Perhaps some customizing would be in order ! Perhaps it's possible too try and find a Seamstress or Taylor that can customize that same style in a wedding satin, or your choice of material as a individaul piece Just a passing thought. I…

I just feel that their is a designer out there that can tackle these issues. Please keep us posted as to your bridal choice. Problems, always have a solution of some sort..( In know way,was I suggesting imulating DP, I just thought she is one that maintains a conservitive approach).<br />

Thanks Mickey for your reply - unfortunately I think I saw that on the Knot and thought the opposite to what most of it said. Any V neck I tried on make me look like a, pardon the expression, bridal hooker. Jackets tend to emphasize the girls as well (although probably does fine for covering cleavage.) Think of as adding layers to cover a lump - just makes the lump and everything around it look bigger. Dolly Parton is probably the last person I want to emulate if you know what I mean.<br />

<br />
I really like my neck and shoulders and I think highlighting them is a good idea, but I need ideas about neckline. Your jewel and empire waist advice is probably right on target! I also want to highlight my skinny waistline, without making me look short.<br />
<br />
Ok, by now I'll bet that people can tell why I am so confused. Surely I can't be the only short, skinny, big busted girl out there.
