Need Help With My Arm Pits

Okay..weirdest post ever but i have to

I bought a beautiful strapless gown, knowing that I have this weird DEFORMITY or something. I am toned and work out almost every day and have a low body fat percentage but I have ALWAYS had this extra skin right between my armpit and breast on both sides. I was told by my weight instructor that it is extra breast tissue BOOOO. I have done every work out in the world to get rid of it and I swear it is just getting bigger because of muscle building up underneath it. I think it is going to bother me if I wear the strapless dress. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Is there a special bra out there? Or should I just give up this dress and get a halter?

I was just talking about the same thing this weekend while trying on dresses. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do about it, but what I did find was a strapless dress that came up a bit higher (hit right at my armpits). Amazingly, just making the dress and inch higher or so completely elminated that problem.

Ok so i have something to add to this...

I have a problem under my arms as well... (i hope this doesn't gross you ladies out)

So my underarms have not seen the light of day in well many years... I don't really wear tank tops since i am self conscience of my arms ( i am a big girl lol) plus my "pits" are kinda hmm dark ???

 I realize that i have to get over myself if i want to wear a strapless dress for my big day...Of course there is always the fact that i can wear a bolero or something to cover So i have been trying to see what i can do, my sis told me to try waxing maybe some of the darkness can go away, BIG mistake i had an allergic reaction to the wax and now its kind of worse... I have heard that lemons do the trick, is this true?

Hey Fellow October Brides,

I think a bolero or bridal wrap is an excellent alternative :) There is an awesome vendor on www.etsy.com (Her name is Bonzie) that makes absolutely GORGEOUS bridal wraps in all different styles. I ordered one from her (to wear during my reception) and I was more than pleased with her work. You can see several pictures of it on my bio page. Hope this is helpful to all of you, and good luck with all of your wedding planning! ;)

I was reading about this concern on a different board and one of the suggestions brought about from a wedding gown consultant was to sweep the skin towards the front of the dress to eliminate the skin bunching up.. I will definitely be enlisting the aid of my MOH on the big day to do this!
