Short, size 8, I have very slight mom pooch, boobs are 38 DD and need to figure out how to accommodate them. My first dress was strapless fitted Vera Wang and long. It was flattering.

Are you in the D.C. area? I am 5'3" and have a similar build to you and was getting ready to sell my dress. I had a small lunchtime wedding without dancing so it's basically brand new (no sweating, no spills).

This is cute

Love this dress but it’s not meant for big boobs, alas.

A courthouse marriage with a lunch reception is going to be different attire than if you are making it like a first wedding with 150 people+ and a big aisle and reception.

Is it evening ceremony, late morning, early afternoon, etc?

This is not really true - I wore a suit to my courthouse wedding, but there were brides there in full-on wedding dresses, clearly not wanting to miss out.

Why don't you just make an appt at David's Bridal?

for a DD? You've got to be kidding. PP was right. The last two of 21:51's post.

WTH?

Check out Anya in Montgomery mall asking to see the owner. She is very good at customizing dresses basedon your body type and event type

22:51, I think the last two options you posted would be great options for OP!

I just posted the above pictures. OP, you are short but busty. I would go with an A-line or empire waist to emphasize length, and a structured bodice for the girls.

Do NOT wear a strapless dress with large boobs.

I would look for something sleeveless with a high neck; or a wide portrait neckline; or a modern off the shoulder style; or a sweetheart neckline. Also ideally a dropped waist and a relatively narrow skirt / bottom half to the dress. Nothing poofy. A silky / satiny fabric with or without a silky train is classy for a second wedding. Avoid voluminous dresses.
