Torn between 2 dresses...

Hello,
I need advice from the lovely thrifty ladies that you are...
I am torn between 2 different dresses... One I have tried on, the other I haven't, they are both made by Sweetsend on ebay. I want to get married in Burgundy, so you will have to keep this in mind when looking at them. The other thing to know about me is that I am extremely busty (think a 32ff).
The one I wanted to go for looks similar to this, but with an embroided pattern on the corset with beads and sequins. I tried the strapless style and I feel pretty much at ease with it: i am used to it, I wear Goth corsets when I go for a night out.

The second one, I did not get to try on. I know Sweetsend do make very good supporting dresses so I am confident I can get away with not wearing a bra, but I am afraid the cleavage on this might be too much...

What do you girls think? My mom said the second style might be better suited because I won;t look like I am spilling over if I have to bend over at any point during the day but I am a bit concerned about the cleavage being too much. The strapless dress does not feature the boobs as much. We are going for a civil ceremony so no church people to get offended but I always was self consicous about my boobs: I don;t want to look like Jordan on my photos. On another note: I could just flaunt them, it's not ads if they are always going to stay nice, firm and up here all my life. See I am torn, torn I tell you!!! LOL
Thank you for reading about my dilemna!

I think it sounds as if you would feel most comfortable in the top dress, so should go for that one. I think the dress looks lovely, and if fitted properly you shouldn't have any problems with spilling over.0

I would go for the first one. If you say you are busty and you are used to wearing corsets and you've tried it on, I think its all pointing to that one. Though if you didn't get the "wow" factor and it jumped at you then maybe its still worth looking around??
Sorry I'm not being much help!!0 -
I perfer the top one and I think you will look fab in it, go on flaunt them!!0
-
Thx for the answers,,,, Just for help, this is me in my corset... :-p... I have lost about a stone on my bottom and tummy since then, but the boobs are the same.

I think you should go for the first one if that is the ne you feel more comfortble in. The second one is lovely aswell though, I'm sure you will look gorgeous in whichever you choose, Tiger x

I can see why your mum thinks the 2nd is safer, probably because of the straps however, looking at your shape I think you'd be a lot happier with the 1st dress. Your boobs won't be so much on display, you know it's a decent corset as you've already tried it on. It'll defienatly tame the bangers! lol
Please let us know what you decide and post a pic!0 -
hi ya i think the 1st one will suit you better , xxwins :- x2 hair dyes ,mascara, epilator,personalised card , glass photo ,comp angels please throw some luck my way

The first one sounds much more like your style. If you've still doubting you could always go and try on a dress in the high street (loads of summer dresses have that V-neck with straps style).0

Actually, I just tried with a strappy V neck top after your suggestion and a very tight one at that. Beginning to think it's not that bad... I have emailed Sweetsend to ask if the second dress came with as much support as the first one. See what happens. Fingers crossed."Don't cry, Don't Raise your Eye
