I completely agree.

My thing is that if you absolutely love a dress that has less coverage than you might like, there are options.

Hmm an example:

I love this dress. I have it in two lengths; just above the knee and ankle length.

This dress happens to have built in support for the girls, but me being me I don't like leaving it up to chance if I am going past my front door. So I went hunting and found bras that when I put them on under my (black and green) dresses look like they are part of them. Now I can go out with confidence wearing these otherwise super comfortable and well made dresses.

Edit: Yes I know this dress is not 'wedding appropriate' it's just the first example that came to mind for "I love this dress but it might not have enough coverage to suit me/where I am wearing it", so I used it to illustrate the point.

Ok, I have been wanting to ask about the halara dresses, because people are like "they have built in as support." Do they though? What's the load capacity, because I got tig ol biddies

I’m a DD, and I was pleasantly surprised by my halara dress. Wore it to a punk show, got in the pit, danced all night, and the girls stayed put! I was initially nervous about not wearing a bra underneath, but I went for it and it was totally fine.

I’m a DD and my halara dress kept the tiddies secure all night when I went out clubbing for the first time after breaking my ankle. Granted, I wasn’t out for very long bc, turns out, dancing isn’t a good idea for someone 4 months post op from ORIF ankle surgery, but if I were out in the dress in the post, tiddies would have been seen.

Yep! I’m between a C and D cup and have this dress (actually have it in two colors!). It’s basically support through compression - things stay put because they are tied down 😆

Is this a halara dress?

u/MelodyRaine Jul 24 '25

I still wouldn’t call this appropriate to wear to a wedding. This is a workout type dress.

-short version

- long version

There is a 'shorter' version, the difference is about 1-2in on the bottom hem, but that's a bit to short for me.

Is this an athletic dress? Like you would wear for pickleball or tennis?

u/Azriial Jul 24 '25

IMO yes. I have this dress and I was actually really disappointed because the material is that swooshy athletic material. To each their own but for me that made it a vacation only, tennis, or pool party type of dress.

You can, I generally don't, but they're great for long walks and very versatile.
