The strapless wedding gown may be the quintessential bridal look, but -- if we're going to be totally honest here -- the neckline doesn't work for many brides.


Take, for example, busty brides who need the extra support, or anyone who wants to bust a move on the dance floor without pulling up her gown all night long.


That's why we spent time combing through the top designer collections from Bridal Market Fall 2013 for gorgeous gowns with straps and sleeves. Below are 20 alternatives that are so pretty, you'll forget strapless was even an option.
