It’s lovely and very summer wedding appropriate!!

Personally, as another big boobed woman, I avoid the halter neck shape as it doesn’t work for me but you know what suits you 🙂

Looks very pretty.

not something I would choose though as would look best with heels which won’t work at that sort of venue incase it’s rained on the grass or there’s cobbles and so on.

also I’m bigger chested and halter necks don’t suit but I guess you are different.

enjoy the wedding.

As the owner of big boobs I wouldn’t choose that shape - my boobs would just be a shelf above the belt, and it would emphasise how much bigger my top half is than my bottom half. It would imbalance me.

I’m the same.

Lovely dress.
I was going to say similar to PP about that type of neckline and large breasts. But that’s not to say it can’t work for some people.

Summer weddings can vary from ridiculously hot to really quite cold. Dress looks nice but maybe think about possible layers and adapt for the weather on the day?

Me too at least I’m not the only one. I disregard 80% of pretty dresses due to my chest. 😂

Nothing wrong with it. If you like it and it suits you, then go for it.

For me though, I'm also big boobed and always chose a V neck because it makes the eye go up and down, rather than left and right across the chest. I'd also never go sleeveless due to my upper arms.

Very nice dress.

Will you be breastfeeding? If so think about accessibility (and suitability with a nursing bra plus pads to stop leaks). I didn't wear dresses for ages when my kids were little because of accessibility for breastfeeding.

It’s a lovely dress but agree with those saying halter probably not the most flattering choice for big boobs and also it’ll be impossible to breastfeed in (disregard that if you’re bottle feeding though).

Screamingabdabz · 11/03/2026 20:26

If you’ve got big boobs it will require a special bra too. It’s certainly a pretty and appropriate skirt shape and fabric but I never get those polo type necklines - who do they suit unless you’re a swan necked amazonian?

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 11/03/2026 20:31

Very pretty dress. Big boobs here too. What sort of bra could you wear with it? I don’t think my 34Gs would stay up without shoulder straps 😃

GoGoSuperBug · 11/03/2026 20:43

Pretty dress, lovely colour and perfectly appropriate for the occasion. I can’t comment on how it will fit as I am not blessed in that dept at all.

You will probably need a nice jacket or something for the evening.

Oh bollocks, I didn't think about a bra 🙈 it's ok I've got a few months to get one. I need to get measured up again anyway.
I'm not breast feeding so that's one less thing to consider. I am still wearing my breastfeeding bras though because they're so comfy 🤣
