So I have this dress that does not look right with any of my bras. So I've decided to just not wear a bra with it. But since my boobs are very large, I needed to tie the straps together in the back to give myself more support. I couldn't think of any cute things to use to tie it so finally I came up with the idea to make some hemp with some random glass beads on it and use that. I'm not sure how I feel about it. What I had in my head looked better than how it really turned out. Is it too much?

I love it but I have a big chest and the halter alone will not give me enough support. I have a halter bathing suit top I could wear under it but beacuse I have a big chest my neck hurts after awhile from holding them up (booo). I'd like to wear something comfortable under the dress at roo but still want it to look nice. I figured I would just go with a thin strap bra and maybe just a tank top but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas or at least an idea of what color tank to wear under it ;D

That is really cute! I have the same chest problems you do, and I deal with it in the same way - tanks and a regular bra under everything. At super hot festivals, I usually let lose and ditch the tank, though - too many layers. I just wear either a nude bra or a funky colored one and say to hell with my straps hanging out. It's all about the comfort!
Hi girls! This year will be my first 'roo and I'm SOOO excited! I've been reading through this thread getting TONS of helpful tips {already bought a kariza! :0) } Just wanted to introduce myself since I might be posting more often in this thread..
Hey y'all! I'm Rachel and I'm counting the days to Bonnaroo :0)
Hey Rachel and welcome! Hope we get to meet you at the brunch!
a lot of us seem to have the same problem. i need real support at the top. it makes me mad because most small sized clothing have no support and little way to wear a bra wtih it. SInce this is roo i think that you can either wear a colored bra as someone said or wear a bathing suit top under it. I also get sore from halter top suits. i dont know why they dotn make more with regular straps. you can find some however if you look hard. you could also try one of the sports bra tops which dont tend to hurt my neck and which stay put and cover you where you need it.
i got some of those bra top things that roobear mentioned at forever21. the ones i got were likethat or had straps over the shoulders. they do provide coverage and are also comfortable. i wear them under tanks and stuff with no issue.
I realized I like wet seal after checkin out their site
I'm one of the flat girls though. I don't do too well with strapless stuff. I might just stick with some tanks with built in bras or wear regular padded bras like I always do. I'll probably change my mind asap once i finally feel the heat... bathing suit tankini top in place of a regular tank! lol
Gonna tie dye some shirts for my birthday today! Fun! I might even use that t-shirt cut into a skirt idea I saw a while back. That looked neat.
They don't give me any lift, but they smash 'em down like a sports bra. I have a couple dresses with a tie right under the bust. They dresses have built in lift, but, with out a bra, I might knock someone out. I think adding the bandeau will solve that problem. Probably not enough for real life, but I bet it will work for the festie-world.

Does anyone have suggestions on the best dress fabrics? I usually just wear shorts and a tank to festies but I'd prefer to wear a pretty, flowy dress. Unfortunately, I have thigh chafing issues (which BodyGlide doesn't fix) when I wear dresses and I tend to sweat a lot in heat. Cotton and satin are both way too heavy. I was tempted by silk but even that seems both too heavy and too delicate. I'm afraid I'd rip and tear it while dancing. Help!

I personally wouldn't recommend anything but cotton dresses for Roo because the fabric will be more breathable than anything synthetic. Go with a light colored cotton dress and hopefully it be too heavy. I would also recommend wearing the dress(es) around outside before Roo so you will get used to it.
As for chaffing, I use gold bond. One application won't cut it, so I carry it around with me all day and reapply as needed. The powder will absorb the moisture.

I would say some people prefer the breeze of the dress. helps keep them cooler. personally, I'm not a huge dressy person though. I might stick with comfy shorts, leggings, and/or a skirt or 2. We shall see.

I like the breathability of cotton but it tends to be so heavy that the dresses have very little flow to them. It also tends to retain sweat so that my clothes cling to me and end up wet. Silk is lightweight enough to have good flow. I'll try the cotton again with a bunch of Gold Bond pre-Roo.
What's the difference between a cotton dress and cotton shirt/shorts?
I don't generally wear cotton. I usually go with synthetic blend fabrics. I wear the shorts because they prevent my thighs from chafing but when I wear dresses my thighs get chafed raw. Huge difference.
if you wanna try the silk route, try out a Kariza dress maybe... I think they're silk. I haven't bought 1 myself but they intrigue me with the variety they have.
The Karizas I have are polyester-silk so not really breathable. Definitely better for nighttime wearing.
And daisychain, I gotcha now. I wear bike shorts under my skirts and dresses and find that I'm just so darn hot anyway, the extra layer doesn't make a difference to me.
THESE bandeau tops are exactly what I have been searching for!! I have ton of cotton dresses that I wear during the summer, and for "real-world" wear, the v-necks generally show off a little more boob-ness than I'd like. So, I've been wearing tanks under the dresses... but then I'm dealing with the tank riding up and making wrinkles under the dress, and the added layer does NOT help at a sunday afternoon Braves game in July. SO - I found a black bandeau top a year ago, and it's perfect bc it covers the cleavage, without forcing me to wear a second layer over my foodie tummy. well of COURSE I couldnt find that brand again and I've been on a hunt ever since! THANK YOU for posting these!!!
PS - I still have many, many buttons for my GFT ladies! If you want, just PM me your address! And remember, these are my gift to you guys - no moola necessary

I'm not sure if someone else here said they are making these - craftytutorials.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-make-and-wear-wrap-pants.html. My friend and I purchased some hemp and organic cotton/soy fabric from here: www.fiberorganics.com . The shipper was SO nice that she sent us extra scrap fabric and some swatches of new stuff she got in. I think these will be a nice break from the skirts and dresses in the chaffing dept.
The fabric is a natural, off white color. And I LOVE color... So is anyone good at dip-dying? I'd like to buy some RIT and do it to it!
