The $1,200 Wedding Dress Miracle (and the Crewneck Crisis)
-
Everything was coming up roses, beauties. I found it—the dress for my wedding welcome evening. It’s a stunning, modest crewneck style that fits my body like it was hand-stitched by the gods themselves.
And the best part? The Bratags on this find are absolutely insane. This beauty was originally $1,350, but I managed to snag it for ~$150. My bank account is singing, but my chest? Well, that’s a different story.
The crewneck is unforgiving. It fits everywhere else, but it’s dangerously tight across the girls. I was wearing an unlined, unwired bra during the fitting, and I’m terrified that anything with even a hint of padding will make the bodice completely un-zippable. I’m heading to the tailor, but I need a miracle undergarment strategy to make this work without losing the "modest" look of the neckline.
I’m desperate to make this work because at that price point, I am not letting this dress go.
Has anyone found a "minimizing" corset or binder that actually works for a formal dress without creating a weird silhouette?
For those of you with a full bust, do you find that unlined wires give you more "room" in a tight bodice compared to wireless options?
What’s the most "miraculous" price-tag-to-deal ratio you’ve ever found for a formal event?
