Answer
Go to a store and try some on, even if you don't plan to buy one there. You might find out you like a silhouette you didn't expect to like. Plus, wedding dresses run really small. When I was shopping for my dress, I wore a size six, but all the dresses that fit were a size 10.
If I had to guess, though, I think a mermaid or an a-line with lace sleeves would look gorgeous.

What style of wedding dress is flattering for my body?
pixie_vixe
I recently got engaged, and even though the wedding is a bit off, I would like to start looking for a dress now since I understand it is a time consuming process sometimes. I would like to know what would be most flattering for me. I have a very large bust (42 DDD) and many say it is unproportional to the rest of my body. I have recently gained weight, and wear a size 14-15, but up untill recently I have been somewhere between 10-13. So I am not very large, but not tiny either. What style (bodice, waist, sleeve, skirt, train etc) would be most slimming and supportive for my chest? I like lace up front corset tops, but having trouble finding them anywhere.

I have a 40DD bust and I look good in a halter neck gown, especially one with a v-neck:

An off the shoulder gown with some coverage on the arms is also a really good look:

I really like gowns with sheer sleeves and a deep v-neck that you can wear a regular bra with:

If you are going to wear a gown that requires a strapless bra make sure you get a good one. Also, you don't want a backless bra, once your cup size gets above a D backless is not attractive. I wear a Goddess long line and it holds up the goods pretty well:

The train isn't that important, it's more what you want because they all pretty much look the same when you wear it. The skirt isn't as important as the bodice. Pretty much any skirt except maybe mermaid should work for you.
The best advice that I can give you is go and try on gowns. Try on alot of different types of dresses until you find something that looks good on you. Don't get caught up by the little details of the dress, don't buy something because you like the beading. It's more important that the gown looks good on you, not that the lace is nice. You really have to look at yourself in the gown and make sure that it's flattering. Make sure it's not too tight, there's nothing worse than seeing all of brides rolls around her middle. Also if you go with strapless make sure there aren't any rolls hanging out over the top, very unattactive.
Another thing you might want to consider is a bridesmaids dress in a lighter color. Separates might work for you with your large bra size and you can do separates a little easier in bridesmaids dresses, and they're usually less expensive. Although, most bridesmaids gowns don't have a train.
