So I wouldn't usually go near modcloth, not being a particularly alternative individual as their target audience seems to be, but I'm going to be eloping with my gorgeous shitlord bf this fall if all goes as planned (secret awesomely romantic plans!), and being a dirt-poor student I need to find a cheap dress. I happened upon this: Dress. Its a pretty cool looking dress, more boho than "rockabilly", but there are no reviews by humans...just hams. And they're all complaining about the bust not being supportive enough? Which worried me at first, being a 32DD myself, until I realized that ham "boobs" have no natural support/oomph, they're just flappy pancake skin sacks. So I'm still considering the dress, and thinking it might be cool to post a review myself if I buy it, complete with a shitlording picture of a human-sized female (me) wearing it to shame those cows by comparison.
Also, if any of y'all have dress suggestions $300/under, or funny fitshion vs fatshion wedding comparisons to share, please do!

I'm 32e myself so am familiar with your bust problem - I'd be really hesitant about buying a strapless dress off the rack and expecting it to look good enough in pictures. Lots of places these days just work in total bust measurement rather than cup plus back tailoring. This isn't a problem if you're wearing something stretchy, but with seams and intricate tailoring you've got a problem. This is where you get the cups overflowing but baggy in the back problem, which is largely due to fats with the the same total measurement around the bust but a completely different shape. (I.e. Back fat plus pancake tits). I have a suspicion you may run into that problem in Modcloth, thanks to their fat customers fucking up normal measurements. Anyway, if you love the dress (it's great!) my suggestion would be to buy a size up and pay to have it professionally tailored to account for all weird possibilities. It will cost you probably around $100 (depends where you live - probably less) but will look like it was made for you and way more expensive in photos.
Congrats on the engagement!

Thank you so much, sounds like great advice! I am definitely going to look into finding a local tailor - have a feeling I'll need one ordering any dress online, unless I get really lucky.
