Dress for a wedding

I've got 3 weddings (May, August and December) to go to this year and want to invest in at least one new dress for them. Which of these, if either, do you prefer?

I'm a 12-14 and fairly busty (i.e. nothing like the models so obviously I'd have to try them on first)

This is purely speculative because we're TTC at the moment so with any luck it'll be the maternity section I'm browsing closer to the time Smile

I like the first one. I think the second would be a struggle if you were busty.

Yeah that is a concern. Damn big boobs! I'm sick of v-necks and wrap dresses though. Was hoping for something a bit different.

I'm not sure either of those are for the busty TBH - the first one runs the risk of looking quite matronly and the second one doesn't look like it would fit well.

How about this:

That is lovely Fenella but I'd be concerned anything with tulle would be a bit too bridesmaidy I think.

Hmm sorry but I can't think either of those would look good on a busty person. I think you could do better. I find a wide neck can be flattering if you don't want a wrap etc.

This is similar colour/ style but a more flattering shape I think:

I like this one too.

Personally though given at least one of the weddings is in winter and you might be in early pregnancy I'd go for a darker, drapey style.

I don't think that one is me pug. Apart from anything else I've never managed to find a strapless bra that I feel comfortable in.

Much prefer that last one you posted.
