Not feminine enough, a smaller bust? Absolutely not! Just think of Jane Birkin and Kate Moss — icons in their own right. Why not make the most of this figure to wear a wedding dress that women with a fuller bust cannot always carry off?
If you have a smaller bust, you have two options: either embrace it and opt for styles that, for instance, allow you to go braless, or give it a little more volume through the right wedding dress shape or a well-padded bra.
Here is our Top 5 wedding dresses to choose when you have a smaller bust.
Having a smaller bust gives you the freedom to skip the bra and go for a plunging neckline! Ultra-feminine, this style of neckline will beautifully highlight your slender silhouette. You can even dare a plunging neckline on a mermaid wedding dress — there is no doubt you will be a 100% glamorous bride.
You have a smaller bust? Make the most of it by showing off your back and choosing a backless wedding dress! Once again, this style makes going braless a given — so it was practically made for you! Depending on the cut, a backless wedding dress can be either romantically beautiful (especially when lace plays a starring role) or seriously glamorous, worthy of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
Wedding dresses with thin straps are perfectly suited to women with a smaller bust. They will elegantly frame your bust, your slender torso, and your neckline. You can either choose to wear a strapless bra underneath to add a little volume, or forgo the bra entirely.
Have you considered a wedding dress with embroidered sleeves? Through a clever optical illusion, sleeves can lift the bust and give it more volume — while also beautifully drawing attention to your arms and neckline. And sleeves always bring an extra touch of elegance to any wedding dress.
A great many brides are drawn to the iconic princess wedding dress — the one with a structured bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. If this is the style you have your heart set on, it is absolutely essential that the bodice is push-up. Without this, it risks flattening your bust even further. Do not hesitate to choose an embellished bodice featuring pearls, lace, rhinestones, and other details.
While many styles are perfectly suited to a smaller bust, here are a few cuts to steer clear of:
