Can I make this dress less 'booby'

I've fallen in love with this dress, but sadly I have a semi-decent sized, yet fairly saggy boobs so I must wear a bra. I'm wondering if there is a way to alter this dress to remove some fabric from the bottom (I'll need it hemmed anyway) and made into a panel of some short to fill / close the deep plunging neck of this dress so it covers my boobs and allows me to wear a bra.

Does anyone know or have any other tips?

Why are so many clothes simply unwearable? Women's clothes I mean. This happened to me the other day- new dress from vinted, great and fitted perfectly except the v neck was so low it nearly reached my stomach!

Embrace the boobies with a U plunge bra

I’d look for something else…the plunging neck is a key feature of this dress and if you take it away, I think it would look boring and frumpy

It's pointless trying to remodel the dress, but it would have been a much nicer dress if it had been made in the first place without that neckline. It's all subjective but I think it looks awful.

Awful is too strong a word but I do think the dress would look better without the long, v neck. I don't like plunging necklines. It makes all the attention focus there and away from the surrounding dress.

Usually I’m a fan of tit tape and i
love the dress but unfortunately it’s just not the one for you.

slashed to navel with perky 32As looks sexy, subtle, sophisticated.

slashed to navel with perky 32Es is a completely different look. And we can rail against the misogyny of the conclusions that will be drawn about a woman whose breasts are on display but it don’t stop them
being made.

the modesty panels look shit.
