What do you do about wrap dresses which are too low cut?

[carrotsandcelery]

My only option for a wedding this weekend is a wrap dress that I have never worn because it gapes at the neck a bit which makes it too low cut.

I can't be the only one with this problem.

Do I have to find a vest top in a co ordinating colour underneath, or do I stitch it so that it is not so low cut, or is there a more stylish option?

[desperate]

I tend to wear a cami top underneath in a go-ordinating colour. If it has a bit of lace at the top, I think it can look really nice.
Hope you enjoy the wedding.

I have the same problem due to big boobs....so I have only ever found two solutions...press stud, just there...or something underneath (which often ruins the cut and line of the dress)

A co- ordinating colour, even!

Small stitch or press stud.

Some sort of brooch?

marks and spencer lovely vests with lace at the top. Stays up nicely for coverage!

I've always gone for vest tops in coordinating colour, or White!

M&S lace top vest, a slip, or my favourite is the bra with a lace panel designed for this purpose

M&S vest for me, the ones with the lacy top are lovely. They do loads of colours.

Didbt they sell v shaped things, material things, that you could stick in once. I have a déjà vu thing here

Thank you everyone. I have an M&S voucher so I will take a good look there.

Yup, vests all the way... In my time I have been known to wear vest tops with the bottoms cut off - sounds silly BUT that way you get the boob coverage but not the vest bit on the tummy which can really ruin the fit of a dress.

I use these, they just clip onto your bra

I love those redruby

I would wear a cami now that i am old. but could you tit tape ( primark sell it) when i was younger i used double sided sticky tape!

I also have a wrap around dress with a split and it is very low cut and the modesty panels are great and you don't have to have an extra layer of clothing on.

I am a bit worried about ruining the fit of the dress. It is a little big and I don't want loads of bulk underneath it.

I am more worried about flashing my boobs to family and friends though so it seems the safest option, especially since the dcs will be with me so I will also be leaning down etc.

How about a bandeau bra?

I've also worn a crop top under low cut dresses or tops with success.

Costume tape can be used for something like this. It actually is very reliable. I got mine from Debenhams. Otherwise I go the vest top route day to day but if fit's important then try tape. You can do a 'practice run' to see how you feel with it.

I normally just wear a strappy top, but have seen these. I don't think I would trust them, but it would stop the line of the dress being ruined.

I have also stitched myself into dresses when I've been in a hurry and decided at the last minute that the top is too low cut - just a couple of tacks to hold the front together for the duration of the event.

Oh, sorry - same thing as redruby. And hers are cheaper.

Ladies you are wonderful. I really appreciate all the ideas you are coming up with. Thank you.

I am intrigued by the tape. How would I use it? Would I tape the dress to my skin to stop it slipping? Would I tape the bits of the dress to each other instead of stitching? I am completely rubbish at this sort of thing. [clueless]

can you get an all in one body underwear thing....they won't add bulk and would give a lovely smooth line which can be difficult if you start layering??

I have one wrap dress which is a bit plungey at the front and if "the body underwear" in in the wash I compromise with a big knicker and fitted vest top tucked in....makes me feel like I am back at infant school! :o

I had no idea! I will eye up all the other wedding guests with suspicion and if I feel intimidated I will imagine their big knicker vest combos and feel more at ease
