It is a curse and a blessing to have large breasts. While some women look amazing in large bust lines, others find it hard to camouflage the same, especially when wearing their bridal lehengas. We are all for embracing and celebrating your curves, but without making it look OTT and vulgar. At your wedding, you don’t want to give out the wrong vibes, especially to the in-laws around. This is why we are here to help you with tips on how to stitch your bridal lehengas the right way; curvy heavy breasts shouldn’t be a problem anymore to dress up!
You can be fashion forward
Curvy large breasts are not to be taken as an impediment to your bridal style statement. There are many designers out there giving out tips on styling the lehenga to shape the body, especially the bust line with trends in mind. You can dress the heavy breasts up to look off-duty Vidya Balan or the curvy on-stage Nargis Fakhri anytime. And here are style lessons to think off when stitching your lehengas.
What if You aren't comfy with a low V-neck?
For girls with heavy bust lines, when shopping or stitching lehengas, you have to choose the right neckline to go with it. Not all are comfortable with low V-necks to flaunt at their weddings, and would look for other options. What you could choose then are high-cut lehenga shift numbers with narrow necks that have a plunge. A teasing hint it is, but doesn’t show off too much of the bounce- a boat neck choli too would look nice or a round neck lehenga top as well!
Choose asymmetric cuts
When stitching your lehengas, you can opt for the asymmetric cuts that bring on a very feminine touch. The silhouette would look nice and elegant too. Just ensure that you balance the neckline well with the top you wear, or else the whole look would be ruined. The idea here is to skim the area around the bust line, and not add more inches. Don’t make the top too clingy when stitching it, or else more inches would protrude out, and that is exactly what you want to avoid.
Avoid embellishments
While you are blessed with a set of breasts quite heavy and nice, you need to use logic here when stitching the lehenga blouse. Do not use too much karigari work or embellishments on the blouse, especially around the chest area. This adds more weight to the heavy bust line and would look very frumpy and squishy.
Necklines should be balanced
If you don’t want the heavy bust line to be noticed too much, here is a trick that would help. Keep the blouse minimal, plain and simple. What you could do is to have long beaded neck pieces and necklaces worn, with multiple strands that too in contrasting colors to balance the neckline.
Blouse choices
Block solid hues are the best colors in blouse choices to wear, and with a slightly loose fit so as to avoid cling times. Sky high neckline blouses for the lehengas are the right options to minimize heavy bosoms too. If you opt for ruffles and flounces, the style would be too elaborate to work with and makes the bust look larger than usual. To minimize this, when stitching the lehenga blouse, always have one button on the top left open to create a minimal V-neck; helps streamline the bust and makes it look smaller.
Should large prints be worn?
Yes, you can wear large prints. Designers these days are bathing their brides in floral touches; quite chic and haute. Large prints help create an illusion of slimness and also helps highlight the curves too. With large prints worn, the attention from the heavy bosom is taken away.
For winter weddings, women with heavy breasts can opt for fitted jackets and chic bridal blazers. This adds more structure and oomph to the lehengas, sexiness, and class too. You can opt for plain blouses to wear, a Satin fitted jacket, Crepe blazers or Georgette capes - the choice is endless, and when worn in monochrome tones, your bosom looks toned and nice. However, this is where large prints wouldn’t work. Capes, jackets and blazers are best worn plain and simple.
The law of physics states that light colors reflect light while dark colors absorb light. For women with heavy bust lines, too many colors in light hues should be avoided like the plague. When stitching floral printed lehengas, opt for solid hues to wear as the base, which contours the bust line and also helps minimize the bulk on the top!
Additional tips
1. Buy minimiser bras which can help reduce the cup size of the bosom you are blessed with
2. Stay away from textiles such as lycra, satin, and cashmere which adds more bulk to the bust line
3. Keep chic scarves handy, which can be draped around the heavy bust line
4. Elongated necklaces are best to way which run down way past the heavy bust line
5. When choosing capes, jackets and coats, don’t wear the flowing ones which brings attention to the bust line
6. Horizontal striped cholis with the lehengas or halter neck tops are not advisable to wear
7. Do not choose too much shimmer on your fabrics, which makes it an eyesore and the bust line looks heavier than usual
