I also tend to think that strapless dresses are more likely to lean towards the "sexy party" type and less the "classy pref night" type, but that could just be my own bias.

As for not understanding, some people have trouble, though I'm not sure who's "freaking out" so some people raise that point.
I'm a 32F...so pretty big chested. A lot of it has to do with buying the right kind of strapless dress -- there are of course some that don't come up high enough on the chest and those would sag down. And having a good strapless bra.

I didn't mean to single out your post as "freaking out" -- I've just seen it on multiple threads here that everyone should avoid strapless dresses since they always fall down (pref dress threads, wedding threads, general fashion threads...) Halter dresses look awful on me, but I don't automatically tell everyone they shouldn't buy a halter dress.
