I received my amazing JJ’s House Dress last week. I always knew I’d have to add straps to any dress I bought. I tried on about 100 or more dresses and none of them fit the bill until this one!
The belt in the pictures that I am wearing is not the one I will be wearing on my wedding day. It’s actually from my rehersal dress but, I wanted to show how it would look.
I’m not sure what kind of strap style I should go with. Anyone have any suggestions?
Here’s the imgur link for the dress and for the strap styles I’m considering

jellybeanjean : is it 2 choices showing fron and back? Or 4 choices? If it’s 4 I like the 3rd one, it’s 2 I like the second one. And the a statement necklace to finish the look.

Very nice! I vote 1, 3, or 4. I like the statement back (#2), but I feel like it doesn’t quite match the dress or belt.

jellybeanjean : I like the tulle one personally (I was looking at those same tulle straps, but they don’t match my dress at all
)

sparkly or tulle for me.
I’d be leaning toward the sparkly ones if you can get a belt that matches them.

I love options 3 and 4! They’re so old hollywood glamorous! Option 2 is pretty, but it works because the dress is lace too. Because yours doesn’t have lace, I think adding it only on the straps would look out of place. You’d have to add lace appliques along the bodice to bring the look together.

For your dress, I would say three or four. Personally, I prefer three, but I’m not a bling person!

jellybeanjean :
The tulle or the bling ones but only if you don’t wear a blingy belt . I dont , personally, think that dress needs a belt at all .

I deffo think 3, 1 sits too close to the middle and will muck up your shape I think, and I definitely think it needs a belt! You look much better in it with a belt!

I think 3 matches the dress best!

I think 3. They’ll work with the dress, not against it.
