I have pretty big boobs and I think my strapless dress turned out alright. I hate halter dresses but would never say that people shouldn't wear them. To me it's more of a tailoring/fit issue than the cut of the dress -- if your dress is tailored properly you shouldn't have to tug on it at all.

Yes a good tailor/alterations person is a must! I'm sure you looked fabulous in your dress

Just saw this. Must be the historian in me talking. By relatively recent i meant the mid 1800s lol.

I have seen some girls pull off a strapless beautifully.
If you're wearing a strapless dress, and you have what appears to be cleavage in the back/on the side or you have to pull and tug to keep it up, it's not for you and it needed to be left on the hanger.
Ex: I have the chest of a 12-year-old boy, so anything strapless stays where it belongs--on the hanger.

I saw a blog ripping on "bad" wedding dresses and they posted a yellow one while talking about how bad a color yellow was for a wedding. Except the mannequin's in Asia, i couldn't tell based on the lettering reflection in the window what country, but hello, white is not the universal color of weddings outside of the west, and even then, it's not the only color!
It's all Queen Victoria's fault, really.

I can't lie, there's something about this one that I kindof love. I mean, atrocious as a wedding gown, but as a gown in general, makes me kindof wish that giormous skirts like that were still in fashion.

Prom dresses in the 80s often had tiers and hoops...
ETA: Eons ago (too lazy to find the dates), bridesmaids dressed like the bride to fool men with intentions to kidnap a bride and/or steal her dowry. I also read that the bridal party of both genders wore similar clothing to the bride and groom so as to ward off bad luck directed at the couple.
