Wedding season has officially kicked off! That means graduations, proms and other formal spring and summer events are all right around the corner too. Need a fancy dress to suit the dress code?
If you have a larger bust, finding a great wedding guest or formal event dress can be difficult. You might fall in love with a mini dress perfect for a cocktail party or a long, beautiful gown made for a black tie affair…but the support and coverage just aren’t there. Many fancy dresses don’t allow you to wear a bra underneath, don’t have enough fabric at the chest or don’t have any sort of built-in support. That’s why we’ve rounded up 21 amazing wedding guest dresses (and beyond) for larger busts below. Scroll down to find picks for all budgets from across the internet!
