    Hi

    Having had a wobble about the dress (see other posts) I am now totally in love with it again but am thinking about making some minor changes to make it feel more "me". Here is the original with no changes, one with lace added to the straps and one with lace and a sash. Please let me know what you think (sorry about the bad quality editing of the photos!!).

    Thanks

    I like it with the lace added to the straps, but no sash.  I think the dress would look too busy with a sash.

    I like the third picture. It definitely looks the best & the most simple.

    I agree with Tulip - lace straps, but no sash.  It would have too much going on with the bodice the way that it is.

    I agree with a lot of the posters...lace, no sash.

    Lace no sash.  It's still beautiful, though, anyway you look at it.  :)

    Lace no sash. The sash doesn't fit with the design elements of the bust area of the dress!

    I love it just as it is. To me, the lace on the straps really cheapens the look of the dress. I would leave it be. It's gorgeous.

    Lace, no sash!

    Isn't it truly amazing what the smallest of detail can do for a gown!

    You seriously rock in that dress!

    Hmm.. I think it looks better with thicker straps, the spaghetti straps are kind of odd on the dress. And the sash looks nice too, but you could go either way. I actually kind of like it with the sash a little better.

    My sister bought about 4 sashes and on her wedding day made the decision about which one she was going to actually wear. You can make/buy a couple options and decide that day if you want, you can also remove it after the ceremony for a different look.

    I really dislike the sash with it, there is already enough detailing at the bust and honestly the sash looks out of place. I like the lace straps but I also think you can't go wrong with the spaghetti straps.

    The sash looks a little out of place on the dress, but the lace on the straps looks great! You look lovely :)
