I wore a strapless dress when I was a bride's maid at my friend's wedding. It looked good. Of course, they gave me a built in bra that made me look way more busty than I actually am.
I am not sure yet how I will acheive non-saggy looking boobies. Specially being a DD and having breastfed a child. We shall see.
No problem. That's what a good bra is all about.
To those of who you can wear strapless, how do you make it so your tits don't look really saggy?
A good bustier + a well-tailored dress. Or a corset, if you want cleavage.

I've had difficulty in the past finding a good bra in my size that doesn't turn on itself after a few hours.
I'm so glad I went the way I did with my wedding. My mother made my dress, my ex wore his dress blues (he was a Marine) and we got married in a Unitarian Meeting House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The reception only cost my parents $300 (this was, of course, 27 years ago) for 30 people, the food was devine (a sit down dinner), the cake was small enough it got all eaten up and everyone had a great time.
I'm so grateful my daughter wants something similar, small and intimate. I offered to pony up $1500 for the reception and she was over the moon with gratefulness. Of course, this all depends on her current relationship lasting long enough for an actual marriage to occur.
I tried shopping for strapless last weekend, and left irritated beyond normal. The best luck I've had has been with the long line sort, but it's a bit much to toss one of those under a lingerie-style top.
I don't think even a corset could give me realistic-looking cleavage.
Hi Burrell! How was Franny's birthday?
Talk to the nice alterations lady. They can probably give you a built-in bra that will do the job. My wedding dress had one, as did the strapless I wore. Much more comfortable than an actual bra.

I will. We're all going to a seamstress instead of the craxy expensive bridal salon we got the dresses at.

We are having the party tomorrow. So, um, we'll see. I'm predicting a bit of chaos, but it will all be okay as long as neither I nor DH pops a gasket.
last night I was telling Mom about all the bridal craziness and kid's birthday craziness. Mom said she'd read that at kid's parties you should only have the number of guests that equal the child's age plus 1. So, for 4 yr old's party 5 kids. That's what she did the whole time we were growing up and it worked well.
