Question

What are some good wedding dress styles for a slender woman with a smaller bust?

Answer 1

I am fairly slender and also have a very small bust...at first I thought halter would also look good on me, but after trying on a few, I realized it accentuated my chest - and not in a good way.  

I actually found the styles I thought would look horrible on me looked the best (strapless, mermaid).  I ended up buying a strapless a-line gown that gave me a figure and made me feel wonderful.  

The best strapless gowns for small busts are the ones with boning in the top since it gives more "shape".  Look for dresses with corset backs as well (Maggie Sottero makes quite a few) since these can be tightened to fit your figure perfectly.  

A sweetheart neckline will also give the illusion of more of a bust. (My dress had a lace pattern that gave the dress a pseusdo-sweetheart)

Also, look into getting cups sewn into your dress (as opposed to wearing a strapless bra) as it's more comfortable and also fills the dress a little more and gives you the option of adding padding to the dress (your seamstress should know about this).

And most important, when looking for dresses, don't be stuck on just one style and refuse to look at anything else - listen to the salesladies at the bridal stores.  They often know what will look best on your body type.  

Have fun shopping!

You need something that is not going to hide your b*****s - but enhance them!  Any detailing on the bodice is a good thing to look for.  Any extra material to make them look fuller is always good.  Here are some options that I like!

Sweetheart necklines give the shape of the b***s so are great for creating a 'bigger' look

Dresses that 'pull-in' at the waist will also give an illusion of a bigger bust

I generally wouldn't go for halter necks - but because of the gathering in this one it adds more size

The ruching with extra material from such as cowl necks is always a good idea and you are one of the few lucky ones who can wear it!

Similarly emroidery and detailing at the chest will make it look bigger

Just a word of advice - It does depend on your own style - but try and wear something that is specific to you - that only makes you and maybe 10 other girls in the world look great!  I see too many people following trends and just wish some girls would step out of their comfort zone and wear something really different but stunning!  Just my two cents!
