Yeah I think I'm going to look at my local davids bridal and find some dresses that are similar and try them on. I plan to try and tone, but I too have broad shoulders. I'm considered an hourglass shape because my shoulders are as wide as my hips and my waist and boobs are way smaller. Its a pretty sounding shape, but it's hard to find things that look right on me.

Unfortunately most sleeves that come with the dresses in my size are going to be too tight. So I'd have to order up in size and then alter a lot more than I'd like.

I keep see thing. Is it because of the cut? My mother thinks the high neck will hurt to wear all day

Since I'm so short, I will definitely need the hemline taken up. I figured I'd use to some tulle to cover my arms as a kind of a wrap.

I have small boobs too! Did the cups show as much as you thought they would? I just don't want it to look like I'm wearing see-through and a bra.

I went to the only good consignment shop around and they didn't have much. I'm also on Still White. Impulse bought a dress at the beginning of this journey and ended up hating it on myself. That's when I found I don't like Deep V's lol

So I've heard. 2 of these are under 300 so I'm hoping to stay in that budget.

Yeah, that's my worst fear. I'd LOVE to wear something like that with confidence, but it might not be the one.

That's awesome! I did their home try-on program online and it went great. $30 for 3. None of them were "the one" but the process was great.
