Dress decisions: strapless, straps, or sleeves?

Mine has straps. I really limited my options looking for dresses when I waited to buy off the rack about 6 weeks out from my wedding, and was strongly against strapless. The consultant looked like she just about had a heart attack when I said it has to have straps or sleeves of some kind. Every dress ever now it strapless with a sweetheart neckline.

My dress is sleeveless with a high neck and all lace racerback!

Strapless! I was open to straps when we first started looking, but they all irritated my skin, so that was quickly out. Luckily, I prefer strapless anyway.

Same here with the pulling! I went with cap sleeves because I knew I would be pulling at a strapless dress all night long. I never got any eye rolls though. Rude.

Mine has spaghetti straps, although a couple of brides wrote in their reviews of it that they had tucked them in and worn the dress strapless. But I’m with so many others of you - did not want to be yanking at my top all night. The spaghetti straps are a nice alternative.

I went strapless but with a little jacket for later in the evening

This summer get some strapless dresses and wear them around to get used to the feeling

My dress has straps! I knew that I wanted some sort of straps, because both of my prom dresses were both strapless and so annoying! There is something very elegant and sexy about adding straps too imo

Knew I didn't want strapless! My dress has thin beaded straps that I love, so pretty!

Mine was off-the-shoulder with straps.

It was strapless but I wore a jacket with long sleeves that blended with the dress so the dress looked like a long sleeve dress.

Strapless, but with a long sleeve tulle topper for the ceremony.

My dress has cap sleeves. I LOVE it!

Wanted straps or an illusion back but ended up hating it. Walked out a with a strapless that I love. Strapless wedding gowns have enough structure and boning in them that they stay in place, especially when altered to your body.
