| I'm starting to worry about tan lines! I have a strapless dress and my wedding is at the end of August. I spend a lot of time outside in the summer and I tan really easily, and already I have a decent tan, but straplines! What to do about this? If I go to a tanning bed, will it fill in the gaps, so to speak, or will it darken everything and the lighter parts will still be noticeable? I can't wear a tube top or anything like that, since the 'girls' need bit more support and I can't exactly do field work in a tube top, lol! Help!

hmmmm....spray tanning might be an option but i'm not sure if they can match to the tan you already have. i have a friend that works outside and she wore sleevless shirts and she went and had a spray on tan to even things out for her parents anniversary and another friend of mine that was there said it turned out great. if you went in a tanning bed, i'm not sure, it might even it out but i don't know. the only other thing i can think of to do is wear a sheer shirt or something...i dunno. if you go the spray tan route though make sure you try it out really far in advance and find a good place that does it. i think the airbrush ones would probably be best. Jen went to one on the north side and it looked awesome.

Honestly I would really suggest using serious sunblock for the whole summer to avoid getting a tan at all. Then only allowing your self to tan when you can wear a strapless top or go fake tanning, etc.
Otherwise you will probably be left with tan lines, or mis-matched uneven colour between your natural tan and the tanning lotion colour. Good luck!!

remind me friday to show you a pic before we get too drunk  I had the same thing happen, I burnt like a mo fo on our houseboating trip in August, and I was wearing a halter-style bikini, and my dress for this wedding I was in was strapless. I spray tanned at External Affairs and voila! tan lines GONE. I'm going to spray tan prior to our wedding this year to ensure the same thingOH, and prior to and after the houseboat, I wore ALOT Of sunscreen!

I was thinking (dangerous, I know, lol!)... if most of my skin matches, with the straps area a bit lighter, could a foundation or something be applied to even it out? Or am I way off base here?

I would wear long sleeve light cotton shirts, and make sure you use sunscreen on the parts that show and on your hands, find an spf cream you can apply to them often so you dont have a line at your wrist. I would prevent the tan lines and only let yourself tan when you can get the look you want.
