Add straps to strapless dress

I'm going through the same situation!! My dress is similar. I'll be following. Ive been looking at removable straps and cover ups. Still have not decided though...

I had the same issue but I am 5 ft tall and having straps made me look boxed in if that makes sense. When she removed the "added" straps I felt so much more beautiful. But ultimately it is whatever you are most comfortable with!

If you are busty then go with straps for added support. Perhaps see if you can get detachable straps

Adding straps to mine. It looks like a totally different dress even with the little spaghetti straps. I love it!

I love it with the straps

Adding straps to mine as well. Please let me know if you find anything good!

Talk to your seamstress! Once you have it properly fitted, it shouldn't move anywhere and you might feel secure enough without straps. It will be beautiful with it without, so go with whatever you're more comfortable with!

I tried on a few strapless dresses at DB and I asked if they could add straps. They brought out several different options. I think it looked great and helped make the dress more appealing to my desires.

@Mary b (DATE TWIN) I LOVE LOVE those straps!!!! I got detachable capped sleeves offered with my dress but didn't love how they sit on shoulders!:+(

To anyone who may know....is it easy to find and buy those style straight straps? If so, where do you find them?? :+)

These are my detachables....they cut off my shoulder tattoo.....MEH!! :+(

If you like the way they look on you, go for it!

I too fell in love with a strapless dress...I surprised myself...I ended up putting removable straps on just in case I need them at the reception! It will give me peace of mind knowing I have them just in case! Beautiful dress!

I don't think adding straps wouldn't hurt, if you do a thin lace strap it would look beautiful!

I'm having short sleeves added to mine. I'll have pics on Sunday because they should be all done! I ordered extra fabric and lace appliqué from the designer so that they would be consistent and match with the dress.

I am adding straps to my dress! I absolutely love them! Funny thing is, I probably wouldn't have even gotten this dress if it weren't for the straps. I tried it on and the consultant showed me what it would look like with straps and I fell in love! Mine will be detachable, but I am going to leave them on.

I'm having my seamstress build straps from extra lace I bought with the dress.

I've seen straps sold on etsy.

And allure has straps and add ons you can buy to attach to your dress.

The dress in the photo with straps, was just a pic I found online, I believe that particular dress was designed with this straps. But that's the style of strap I would like to add. I've looked on etsy as well, found some detachable straps that would prob work. Going to check out Allure that was suggested in a comment above. But I'll prob take the advice of talking to the alterations place and see what options are available. Thanks so much for everyone's input!!

Whatever you're most comfortable with! Strapless dresses are generally built to hold themselves up so the straps would be more decorative than supportive. I'm adding straps to mine and I'm really happy with how it looks but one thing I didn't think about is the straps possibly falling off my shoulder so I'm prob going to need to get tape to keep them in place. Good luck!

I had DB add straps to my dress and when I saw the finished product it didn't look good on me and we didn't have time for them to redo them, so I just had them removed.
