dress issue- need advice

Hi Ladies,
Here is my issue. I went shopping last week for my gown. I found that dress that I absolutely adore. It is quite sexy in the breast area and since I don't really have small boobs; it definitely sexy according to me. My sister thinks it is fine and FI is already dreaming about me in it since he just loves my boobs. My friends  keep telling that I am lucky to be a 36 D but actually I don't feel that way. I wish I could have a breast reduction but I don't qualify for it because it not a health issue for me but just for esthetic. I love the dress and I know FI will be crazy once he sees me in it but I worry about other people; especialy my mother in law would think of me. I don't want her to think that her son is marrying a whore or a s.... But I really really love that dress to my own surprise since usally I try to stay away from V neck and anything that wil show I have boobs. What should I do? Should I take it and don't mind my future MIL?
Thanks Ladies

    As a fellow D girl. I say embrace the boobs. People pay good money to have what we have. lol

    Seriously, if you LOVE the dress and feel that you will be comfortable in it, then I say screw what anyone else has to say. Its your day and you dont want to have any regrets. They wore what they wanted on their wedding day and you have the right to do the same.

    Would you happen to have a picture of said dress? 

    I am (umm...blessed/cursed) in the bust area as well.  I wear a 40 DDD, and have often considered the reduction also.  But I would rather not mess with what I have naturally, especially since I haven't had children or anything like that.  So I understand having to work with what you've got.  I agree with pp about wearing whatever you feel comfortable in.  On the other hand, you seem like you may not be too comfortable with having the girls all on display for everyone.  So, if you really want the dress and are a little uncomfortable, see if the person doing the alterations can add a modesty panel or a little extra fabric in the area of concern.  You'd be surprised what they are capable of.

    If you love the dress then forget what others are talking about. Your FI knows you are not a whore. You are one of the few that are blessed with D sized boobs. Enjoy it!

    mandikaykay, you and i are boob twins! roflmao!

    gatineaubride, I agree with mandikaykay, embrace the boobs! I went to Fredericks to try on a corset (I love corsets) and the ladies were jealous and told me women pay to get the boobs I have naturally.

    If you are worried about the negative attraction, a modesty pane would work on the dress or you can fix yourself so the boobs are not the main attraction.

    Yep, yep; I agree with the ladies!  Embrace it!  However, a modesty panel would do the trick.  Get the dress.  Put in a removable panel for the ceremony and pull that thing out for the reception.

    I sit on the booard with TamTam7!! LOL  I am a B cup and say forget the others and go with what makes you happy...and your FI!  He is marrying you, not his mother.  And lastly, if you decide to get a reduction, our committee is taking donations!!!  Get your dress!!

    All I want to say is that I need bigger boobs. LOL!

    Seriously though, can we see the dress? and more importantly you in the dress? We may give you better input that way.

    Thank you all ladies for your precious advice. I would love to show you a picture of me in the dress but unfortunately none of the stores here in Canada would allow you to take pictures so I don't have any. Howver, I will try to find online a picture of the dress itself. Thanks again! You are the best!

    WOW... all the D boobs Smile
    I am jealous.. I would love and pay to have some extra cushion in bossoms :-)
    especially after having a pretty nice size B/C that has now become nonexistant of nursing 2 kids... so I say go for it.. I am sure if I wasn't tasteful your fam would have told you.. You were blessed with a nice chest, its ok to be and feel sexy and beautiful on your wedding day!!!! Wear the dress of your dreams!!!Smile
