Without a bra, you also get seriously visible nipple, which is pretty funny when you consider that some of the brands that make these dresses tout them as being perfect for bridesmaids-maybe if you want your entire bridal party’s headlights to be out! Yeah, the adjustable halter provides some support, but not nearly enough. I felt like a Grecian goddess with a perfect hourglass figure. Still, when I tried on the dress with a strapless bra underneath, it was so, so pretty and so incredibly flattering. Additionally, when I attempted any style that involved wrapping one strap over the opposite shoulder (to achieve a one-shoulder effect), the strap going to the opposite shoulder would gap and flap open in the center instead of resting flat against my chest.

The dress in question.īut these dresses are not universally flattering, oh no! The Von Vonni was one-size-fits-all, which I thought would be great for a big bust.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term “infinity dress,” it’s a simple dress with an empire waist and a halter top, only the halter straps are super wide and are about six feet long with square or slightly angled ends. The one I specifically got is the brand Ravon by Von Vonni. Not too long ago, I bought an infinity dress online at a heavy discount. A project I attempted completely failed and a bra tragically lost its life. This was a sad week for busty alterations.
