So my dress is the Willowby Maudie gown, and it can be worn two ways: with the straps up or off the shoulder.
When I first saw it on Instagram I saved it and it was shown straps up. When I saw it on Pinterest it was straps off the shoulder and I didn’t particularly like it. I do like the off the shoulder look, but I don’t love the tulle straps off the shoulder because they’re thinner and I prefer a thicker one for off shoulder.
So I originally thought about modifying the straps to be thicker like this other dress I had tried
I ordered appliqués from the designer to match the ones on the dress. And my plan was the wear it straps down from the ceremony and then pull them up for the reception.
But now I’m kind of leaning toward wearing the straps up for the whole wedding, and with the straps up I prefer them the way they already are and I worry if I change them to look better off the shoulder it’ll ruin how they look pulled up.
So here’s what I’m asking. Should I keep them as is and wear them up the entire time? Or change them to look like the other dress and wear them down for the ceremony and up for the reception, but risk not liking them as much when they’re pulled up.
