Large chested BM and MOH - need dresses

[wooser]

Well, here's the deal. All of my BM and my MOH are large chested women. However, none of them wear over a size 12, one is like a size 4-6. I, on the other hand, also wear a size 10-12 but have no chest. So, it's hard for me to find dresses for them because I have never had to worry about the problem. My MOH is coming with me next week to try on dresses again, but was hoping someone might have some suggestions.
I am probably going to have red BM and MOH dresses and long (Nov wedding). However, I want them to be able to pick their style as long as the fabric is the same. The problem is that we haven't even found any in the color I want (true red).
Anyway, I am rambling. If anyone has some pictures of dresses that would look nice, please send them my way.

Thanks

It's all a matter of choosing the right neckline for them. I am in the same boat and I avoid strapless necklines, like the plague. They make me feel like I have one large mono boob.

I prefer a halter style, sweetheart or v-neck.

Sweetheart. Sabrina. Strapless. The right neckline can make the difference between a wedding gown that flatters and one that falters. Below, we help you decipher the different styles.
OFF-THE-SHOULDER

Just like the name implies, this neckline sits below the shoulders to showcase a woman's collarbone and shoulders, with sleeves that cover part of the upper arm. While this style is superflattering to medium- or full-chested women, an off-the-shoulder neckline will look good on almost all figures. But if you've got fuller arms and are uncomfortable with baring your shoulders, you may wan to consider a portrait neckline instead.
Good for: Full-chested and pear-shaped women
Bad for: Broad shoulders, fuller arms

PORTRAIT

Similar to an off-the-shoulder style but made with more fabric, the portrait neckline is characterized by a wide, soft scoop from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other.
Good for: Fuller arms and prominent collarbones
Bad for: Undefined collarbones

SWEETHEART

The sweetheart neckline -- which is actually shaped like the top half of a heart -- is a wonderful option for fuller-chested women because it really accentuates the decolletage. The sweetheart is often done with an overlay of sheer material that rises higher than the heart shape, giving the torso a longer line and also making the neck look longer.
Good for: Serious decolletage
Bad for: The decolletage-impaired

SABRINA/BATEAU

This shape gently follows the curve of the collarbone, almost to the tip of the shoulders -- and it's cut straight across so less of the decolletage shows. It can be paired with sleeves or a sleeveless style.
Good for: Small breasts
Bad for: The well-endowed

HALTER/HIGH NECK

The halter features straps that wrap around the back of the neck, or a high neck with deep armholes. Both look best on broad shoulders or taller women -- 5'7" and up.
Good for: Broad shoulders
Bad for: Narrow shoulders

SCOOP

The scoop, a U-shaped neckline, is a universally flattering classic. It can be cut low, and quite often the scoop will continue on the back of the dress.
Good for: Just about anyone

JEWEL

Also known as the T-shirt neckline, due to it's similarity to an actual T-shirt, the jewel neckline is round and sits at the base of the throat.
Good for: Small-chested woman (it will make you look bustier)
Bad for: Large-chested women (it will make you look bustier too)

V-NECK

The name says it all: The neckline dips down in the front (and sometimes in the back as well) in a V-shape, de-emphasizing the bustline.
Good for: B or C cups
Bad for: Anyone bigger or smaller

STRAPLESS

The strapless neckline is a popular choice with busty brides, and it looks wonderful when paired with either a sweetheart or straight-across square bodice.
Good for: Great shoulders and collarbones
Bad for: Smaller-chested women

I agree with everything Serendipty said. I am rather large chested (I'm large all over though, so it's not exactly the same situation) and I think halter's look good are a really comfortable.

I say go halter!

They might have to get a larger dress and have it altered down!

I have some larger chested girls in my wedding and i chose this dress for them:

As you can see, its still really pretty on her, yet her large tracks of land aren't a-flowin' over, either. =D

It's more common than not anymore to have the MoH and bridesmaids in SIMILAR, but not identical dresses (i.e. different style dress, but all in the same color or colors)... As you suggested, it would be best to choose a color and allow each girl to select a dress (with your approval, of course) that suits her body type the best... Something they're each comfortable in (because if they feel GOOD in it, they'll look beautiful).

As for colors, Alfred Angelo, David's Bridal, Jim Hjelm Occasions and 2BWed all have HUGE color palletes... I'm sure you could find the right true red. :D

The dress above is the dress that my sister is wearing and she has big boobs too!! It looks great on her!!! It is a strapless with fake straps!! It covers up the chest area to give the illusion of straps!! It is gorgeous!!

You might also consider getting two pieces as well.

I agree; separates allow for a more customized fit. :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress! Ok ..... now I have to figure out where I could possibly go & wear it. I want it.

[bichonlvr]

As I have been thinking about this I keep thinking....how big is big???

Have you tried Ariadress.com..they can pick any dress they want same color and fabric...or alfred angelo does the same thing!

One of my BM's is like size FFF or something similar. Most of the dresses I had picked out didn't fit her chest. Come to find out, the strapless worked out best for her, she is a size 10 waist, but those wouldn't fit her chest. So what we're doing is ordering about an 16/18 and she will have the waist brought in. Halters are a great choice too, but she has a back problem and can't use halter. So, out of alll the different choices we had, the strapless worked best for her. Here is a picture of how the strapless works vs some others, you can see the middle needs to be brought in still: Well, I can't show the "vs." pics..

They aren't overly large. I think they are all between big B-C, but 2 of them are Very petite women. I appreciate all the help from everyone. You have definately given me some help.

Thanks

This quote just made me laugh out loud. "huuuge tracks of land" HAHAHAHAHA.

[wooser]

I think we may have found something for them. I don't have pictures, but it's the Jordan Seperates. They will all wear a long skirt, but they can choose the top that works best for them. I have always said that I wanted them to be able to choose the style, and this makes it really easy.
