Why Do Brides Keep Pulling Up Their Dresses?
It’s a common sight at weddings: a bride subtly tugging at her strapless gown. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn’t necessarily mean the dress doesn’t fit properly. Wedding dresses, much like your favorite pair of jeans, are designed to fit snugly when you first put them on. However, as you move, dance, and celebrate, the fabric stretches and the dress can start to shift.

The Secret to a Stay-Put Strapless Gown
One of the biggest misconceptions is that a strapless dress stays up by being tight around the bust. In reality, the key to keeping your dress in place lies in the waist. A well-fitted waist helps support the dress, ensuring it doesn’t slide down as you move. The material of your dress also plays a crucial role. It’s not about your body; it’s about the dress’s construction.

Tips for Big-Chested Brides
For brides with larger, natural busts, additional support is essential. Here are our top recommendations:
Detachable Straps
Consider having detachable straps that you can easily attach if you feel your dress slipping. They provide extra security without compromising the strapless look.
Boning
Boning is a structural element that helps hold up the bodice. Many designers use plastic boning, but for larger busts, more substantial support might be needed. Keep in mind that plastic boning can bend as it heats up with your body temperature, so more robust materials might be necessary.
Breast Weight Considerations
Natural breasts weigh more than fake ones, which impacts how well your dress stays up. The heavier the bust, the more support you’ll need to ensure everything stays in place.
Start with Structure
Choose a dress with plenty of built-in structure. This can’t be stressed enough – the more structured your dress is from the beginning, the better it will hold up throughout the day.
