Re: Cocktail dress
I have always stayed away from dresses like those. Not because I don't like them but I always THOUGHT that they would just accentuate the sagging large breasts. Is that train of thought correct or have I been missing out on good dresses all these years cause I never bothered to try.

Re: Cocktail dress
Deb - I think you need to try dresses on
but Tany is on the right track- drawing attention to a tiny waist which those dresses do- but only you can figure out if you are comfortable with the "boobage" amount
I have a different body then you- but I think you are going to want to stay away from anything empire- (high waist under the boobs)
a Tank dress could be great also
what stores do you have by you?

No, those are a-line, halter dresses.
Empire waist is fitted under the boobs and then just hangs - they sort of fit like maternity dresses. They hide wider waists.
Your best bet is to try dresses on...a-line is universally the most flattering...and you will want something with support up top. They make halter bras now to go under those dresses.

The right bra will work wonders!!

Re: Cocktail dress

Re: Cocktail dress
any of these black dresses are perfect
but I would do gold or red heels with it to add a touch of color

Re: Cocktail dress
Deb - I think a halter dress will be uncomfortable for you - even with a halter bra, that's a lot of weight on your neck - same argument as the haltertop bathing suit for us large chested ladies. There are a lot of dresses with wide straps that are still sext but I think you'll be more comfy cause you can wear a proper supportive bra.
