    Hi - just bought a new guna for a wedding (see attached) but my problem is this:
    I'm tall (5"10)
    The dress has a sweet-heart neckline which starts about 7 inches below my shoulders, and since I'm pretty flat-chested, it just looks like a HUGE expanse of upper-chest and I don't know what to do with it! :eek:

    Any suggestions on best accessories to fill the vacuum would be appreciated!!

    Will you be wearing anything to cover your shoulders? Are you going to the whole wedding or just the afters? I suppose depending on the weather you might need something to cover up and the choice of colour will affect your jewellery. I think something big and chunky would look nice.

    Summer wedding in August, so expecting "fingers crossed" that it won't be too cold. I've got a black bolero/shrug/cardigan thing to wear over for the church part, but I don't want to look too bare once the boogying starts later on and the shrug comes off?

    (although you might say that enough alcohol and I won't care about the bare-chest!) :D

    Id wear a big chunky black necklace with it..will draw the attention away from your shoulders and break up the space...itd look silly with a scarf or bolero indoors! Nice dress!

    I alsp agree the black jewellery - not too big though cos its a slightly delicate looking dress. Hows about a good push up bra to fill the "huge expanse"?

    I agree with the black jewellery, but Id suggest less chunky but more of it? Keep it delicate looking. Lovely dress by the way.

    +1 fot the push up! MandS do great strapless push up bras. Have a similar style dress and this bra works really well with it.

    Thanks ladies - must investigate M&S, although I'll need a couple of pounds of chicken fillets to give shape!!
