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.
I agree, I just think that most PNMs aren't spending their money on a good long lasting strapless bra that fits right and the dress too. True for college students as well. I'm at least a 40DD atm, though I need to get resized, and I wonder if a smaller band size makes the fit 'better' even though the larger cup size is probably harder to find.

(Side note, know anything about Bravissima? I've hear their good and intend to order from them soon, just getting opinions.)

It's not so much about me with the strapless dresses, it's that 90% of the girls I've seen wearing them look uncomfortable because of the constant hitching, and if there's a time to NOT make that mistake, it's pref.

Question - and I realize I may be showing my age here: Does a PNM want to look more formal than the sisters at Pref?

I tried a few when I got sized, I think -- they didn't work for me but I know a lot of people who rave about them. All of my bras are from Chantelle -- super expensive but they fit me perfectly.

Ooh ok. My only hesitation is sizing myself since I'm rubbish with a tape measure, but my friend's fitting me for a bridesmaid dress today and I might get her to measure me while I do that. I'm fairly certain the current ones only fit because VS sized me for VS bras and they're old and wearing out.

Continuing the hijack...if you haven't been professionally fit you totally should. I measured myself to the best of my ability and got 34D...then finally got fitted and found out I was a 32F. It made a HUGE HUGE difference.

My problem is the only options here are the dept stores and VS. And VS is notorious for fitting to their bras only while the dept stores are nearly as limited in sizing selection :-/
