Maxi Dress for Busty Gals
Permalink Closed

I've been thinking about getting a maxi dress for the summer, but the ones I see are usually strapless or have really thin spaghetti straps.  Has anyone seen anything with a substantial strap that I can wear a proper bra under?

The ones from Alloy and asos!!!

I am busty, not to mention almost 6 months pregnant and I was trying on spaghetti strap maxi dresses at JCPenny and it was HILARIOUS!!!!  I thought I could just cover it up with a crop sweater to be a bit more modest but they either didn't even cover my nipples, or my boobs were mashed beyond recognition.  And I was even trying on like sizes 14 and 16.  I don't know why they would think women this size would have tiny boobs, HELLO?!?!?!

This is from Faith21 (Forever21) and a great price point for something you won't wear forever.

WHy not strapless?  I think strapless styles can look good on busty girls.  I'm a dd but  strapless is the first maxi dress I bought and I love it!  I wore it with a strapless bandeau bra underneath for suport.

There were a few on Forever21 just now. I'm in the same boat as you and have been shopping around. I hate the idea of spending $70 dollars on a dress like this but with the F21 prices I might buy a couple.

I'm a little afraid to go the strapless route since I haven't found a strapless bra that can truly support me and have me not feeling droopy (dd's can be such a hassle). I'll have to give it another try to see if it works. One other thing I have an issue a lot of the dresses out there is that the coverage is so low cut in the back.
Thanks ladies for your help, I'll take a look at some of these and maybe buy one.
