Need dress help- 20 year reunion
I hate dress shopping- I am chesty (36 DD) and I *don't* like cleavage. I feel like I read conflicting things about what styles look good on us chesty gals.
I'm also frustrated because I recently lost 20 lbs- which makes me happy- but only about an inch from my chest. So I think I'll still have a hard time finding something because most of the weight has come off my waist and stomach; if not for the twins I could probably get into a smaller size. 
Please help.  
ETA- I like this but am not sure how it would look.

Re: Need dress help- 20 year reunion
Congrats on losing the weight! I don't have a particularly large chest (34B) and I tried on that exact dress and found it really constricting in the chest area in the 8 that fit me everywhere else--just thought I would share so you don't hunt it down! That style might be good, just not that particular dress (such a shame since it's SO gorgeous and I love the color!)
Hopefully some other busty girls can chime in with what might look good!

Re: Need dress help- 20 year reunion
Im a 36DD and need a larger size on top, than on the bottom, which SUCKS.
I find that halter works for me, and if its too deep of a V, you can add a camie under it.
this is pretty from overstock:

The above dress is carried at nordstorms.
I was about to buy it - when my mom pointed out when she looked at the inches that it is short - and I am tall about 5 "9. So I didnt get it. Too bad because I love this dress.

Get something you love and have it altered to fit you perfectly - IMO a 20 year reunion, after losing 20 lbs is definitely the time to pamper yourself a bit to make sure you look absolutely fabulous !!

Re: Need dress help- 20 year reunion
I don't think I'd go with the style you posted. It seems to hide the waist area, which you should show off since you lost weight there.
I agree with Marissa- buy something to fit your top & have it tailored.
I usually find a surplice bodice the best for my large chest.
