Strapless or straps/sleeves

I'm a very indecisive person. I LOVE this dress but it being strapless kind of turns me off? I was told I could add straps or sleeves or whatever but my grandma said adding them would kind of take away from the dress. It's a corset back so I wouldn't have to worry about having to pull it up...

I'm a very indecisive person. I LOVE this dress but it being strapless kind of turns me off? I was told I could add straps or sleeves or whatever but my grandma said adding them would kind of take away from the dress. It's a corset back so I wouldn't have to worry about having to pull it up constantly. I'm pretty sure this is the one I want, but would you leave it strapless or add a cap sleeve, spaghetti straps, or a long sleeve?

    Honestly, if you are having a hard time deciding is it really the dress for you? You have time to shop around and find the perfect dress that doesn't need to be changed. The right dress will not allow you to be indecisive you'll instantly love it

    I think because of my tattoos I'm just going to leave it strapless. The corset back will keep the dress from sliding down which was my biggest fear. Since we are getting married in May as well it shouldn't be too cold either.

    I think it looks beautiful the way it is! But, if you won't be comfortable, then maybe go with thin straps

    I like it as is! But I understand what you mean. I bought a strapless and ended up adding straps that drop down my shoulders because I thought it needed something extra.

    I love it strapless. I would say go spaghetti straps if you feel you need to. I wouldn't add a sleeve

    I understand, OP! I purchased a strapless dress but I did not want strapless. I opted to purchase a bridal belt which they are making into a halter strap. Just another idea! Wish I had a better picture.

    You look gorgeous!! I actually wasn't sold on my dress until my consultant added draped Belle-esque sleeves. I absolutely love them!! Of course I'm biased, but if you want sleeves, I think those would be beautiful on you Smiley smile

    We're dress twins but I'm a bigger gal. Because I was worried about the same thing, I decided on a strap purchased when I got my dress. DB will add it as a halter strap.
