Default Wedding guest outfit advice - TMI sorry.

I'm going to a wedding a week tomorrow and I've just tried my dress on to make sure it fits.

Well, it's pretty snug around the chest, and I think I may have to ease the zip open slightly towards the end of the day. BUT...

I have no idea where these boobs have appeared from . Not that I'm complaining, but they look HUGE (for me anyway) and all you can see is big cleavage. Do you think this is innapropriate for a wedding? Also, the worst part is they are FULL of blue veins, oh dear - how can I cover this up? I have a wrap so will be wearing that. I'm just concerned that it's too last minute to sort something else out. I think Nick will be impressed even if I am a little embarrassed

If you're not comfortable then wear something else, at the end of the day would you rather spend the day worrying about who is looking at your boobs rather than your face??

I personally find "full frontal cleavages" a bit OTT for a wedding, but with the current fashion being for tops with low openings there doesn't seem to be a lot that people can do!

I guess I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to what to wear.

No, I understand completely - not old fashioned at all.

I just think the problem is I have NEVER had a cleavage before! It's probably not that huge to other people, I just think it is for me! The dress is a slight v neck, and normally I wouldn't have a cleavage at all in it. I haven't really got anything else suitable that fits and not really the finances to buy anything else this month.
I've decided to rummage through my underwear drawer for a more minimising bra and see how that looks. Failing that I'll have to strategically place the wrap, and maybe secure it with a broach.
How do women with big boobs cope? I suppose they just get used to it...
I think it is the blue veins making me self conscious too...The joys of pregnancy hey?

The thought of anyone drooling embarrasses me! Bigger boobs take some getting used to I think.

I've just tried it on again without a bra and it looks much better as the cleavage is smaller. And whilst I was searching I found a green dress I had forgotten about (I posted it on here ages ago) so that can act as plan B!

I'll try them both on tonight and get Nick to hive his honest opinion. No camera at moment so can't post pictures unfortunately.

Wear what you feel most comfortable in. A bigger cleavage is something I'm hoping for - lol.

Perhaps you just feel self conscious about it because it is different for you. I think I'll be the same as it takes a bit of getting use to.

I bet I know which one Nick will go for

I have a chest thats rather on the large side and I find that a lot of whats in the shops at the mo is just to low cut for me even with a minimising bra. I think if you are uncomfortable then you may be better wearing something else but I bet you think your cleveage is more on show then it really is.
I was at a wedding recently and wore a fairly low cut dress but as it was well cut at the side if you get what I mean I didnt feel I was flashing the boobs too much!

I think you are right that I think they are bigger than they are. They are still only a fuller B cup, but when you've been an A or small B you feel huge in comparison!!

Hhmm, Sara I'm thinking that I will have to agree with you as to what Nick will go for!

Blimey, they don't look it in the photos! You obviously dress for your figure, and don't seem to flaunt those puppies! Now with boobies that size I'd soon turn a few heads or too (I am jealous Jenny!).

Just imagining what I would look like with F cups

I thought I was a D but then got measured for the first time in ages and discovered Im an F! I think a good fitting bra and the right clothes make them not stand out so much! I wouldnt say I never flaunt them.....how do you think I landed Barry!!

I went from a C to an E when Grace was born

I'd say splash out and buy something you feel more comfortable in - any excuse really

If you decide on wearing the dress a bit of fake tan might help hide the veins your concious of.

Ahhh Yes, now there's an idea! I'd been laying off the fake tan, but now I'm out of the first trimester I'm sure a little bit won't hurt. I'll be doing my legs anyway, so could always just do a quick all over coat. I use that D ove moisturiser one.

Thanks for the idea!

I'm a G cup. I've always had big boobs and it was a nightmare at school when I was 15 and wore a 36DD!
I think you have to wear what you feel comfortable in, I'm used to covering mine up so how imagine how gobsmacked I was when I chose the dress I did!
Got to add a pic now!
