Adding Straps?

mandarific

So I haven't gotten a dress yet, but a lot of the styles I like are unfortunately strapless - and I just will not wear strapless. Is it a "normal" thing to ask them to add basic/simple straps to a strapless dress, or should I just keep my eye out for something that already has straps?

You can definitely ask for straps to be added. I've seen alot of girls have straps added to their dresses. Your consultant should be able to tell you if a dress can have them added or not.

If you do find a dress with thicker straps that allows you to wear a regular bra, your undergarment shopping could be a LOT easier!

I agree....I'm not a fan of strapless, simply because it doesn't look great on me, and I don't find it to be comfortable.  I was wondering the same thing!  I've been looking mostly at halter-style.

I've seen where brides take straps to a whole new level! I've seen where they have transformed a beautiful sash into a strap...totally modernized their look! My best friend wore her dress without a strap for the ceremony but then added it for the reception as a one-shoulder strap to her strapless gown, it was gorgeous! She got her's a www.abellie.com, I believe it was their "The Little Ellie" but I bet almost any of them would work

Best wishes, doll!

Most designers have options for strap types. Mine even came with a sleeve kit! When you're shopping you might want to let them know so they can direct you to custom friendly lines.

Almost every dress I tried on so far was strapless and I hate strapless gowns. Most places told me I could add straps to any dress i wanted with no problems.
