Will It Hold Le Tatas Up?

So, after my last post about our chosen bridesmaids' dresses, many of you wanted to know for REAL how it works on real girls.  So, I sent a plea to the bridesmaids that I have mailed the dress to (some requested that I just hold on to it until the day of) for some pics and their thoughts...and here's what they gave me!


I hope it helps many of you who were thinking of using convertible dresses- the Victoria's Secret ones are a great, less expensive option!  The ones shown below on my girls are in "chocolate" and mine is "blackberry." 


All of the dresses come with instruction sheets for different ways of tying them; it's also fun to just play around1


First up, Bridesmaid CH in her dress, and her opinion on the dress, in quotes, beneath the photos:
"I wear a C cup. Some of the styles would absolutely require a bra!"

 "The ones that criss-cross in the front provide a lot of support, but the wrap around (one I didn't send, but the tube-top style) would require a strap-less bra." 
"As PF touched base on, we may need to pin or fabric-tape with some of the styles." 
"Unless tied incredibly tight, we risk having the girls make an appearance mid "I do"....and I'd hate for us to steal the moment ;) "

Here is Bridesmaid PF in a variety of styles and her opinion on the dress:
"So...someone will need to dress me on your wedding day... tying this sucker is not a skill I currently possess.  However, it was a super fun way to NOT brief a case for class... "
"Tatas might actually be good for this dress - I felt like I had a lot of extra fabric, especially on the one that crosses over in the front and it kept popping open."
"Please enjoy the various shoe options, especially this one, where I have two different ones on." 
"But I don't think any kind of bra except a low-back one will work.  Cutlets all the way for me!" 
"I'll be sure to not sweat too much so they don't go flying across the dance floor ;)"

And last but not least, yours truly in some styles.  
This style worked well for my little tatas.
This was hard to twist all by myself!
How Grecian!
I liked this one...why do I look pissed?
Ah yes, the bandeau top...as CH mentions, probably best for less-endowed girls.
I couldn't get the sleeves to work right!

So there you have it, hive!  They seem like they'll work, although help with tying will be required, as will some sort of low back/strapless bra or cutlets.


Thanks CH and PF for being awesome and sending me photos and your thoughts :)


Any suggestions for my girls wearing these?  How have your bridesmaids pulled through for you during this planning process?
