Shoulder-issues

When I was a child my shoulders were starting to grow in the wrong direction, from the age of 9 till the age of 16 I had to wear a corset to correct them which worked. Only that also went along with lots of bullying making me very selfconcious about my shoulders even though there's nothing to see anymore. 

I had imagined myself wearing a dress with short sleeves in order to hide my shoulders and I had already found a few I actually liked. Only a week ago my FH showed intrest in one of my magazines and told me I'd look wonderful wearing a strapless dress and that he would love to see me in one of those. When I reminded him of my shoulders and that I wouldn't feel comfortable on my own wedding day it seemed as if he was fine with that.

Only 2 days ago he bought me this dress. A strapless summerdress. Saying that maybe I could wear it, to get used to the idea and that on our weddingday I could finally show everyone that I have now perfectly normal shoulders.

The thing is, as much as I look at my shoulders in the mirror, I can't seem to get over my issues with them. Should I give FH the surprise he wants on our weddingday and just get over it? Or should I buy a dress that makes me feel comfortable enough?
