Wedding and evening dresses with straps

Look at the back of the dress: this is where you can clearly see how the strap comes out of the bodice, at what angle it goes over the shoulder and where it joins the back. Such a detail connects the front and back of the top, but can be straight, curved, wide or decorated. The name itself does not tell whether its length is adjustable and what role it plays in the design of a particular model.

Regular straps are not the same thin straps: in the latter, the main feature is a narrow line. IN strapless dresses there is no shoulder joint, and halter directs the edges of the bodice to the neck. At the same time, the model with straps can belong to a wider group sleeveless dresses, because these marks describe different elements of the cut.

In the face, compare the height of both points of attachment to the bodice. In profile, trace whether the strap lies in the center of the shoulder, and from the back, whether it symmetrically enters the edge of the back. If buckles, loops, buttons or ties are visible, check the available adjustment range; in the absence of such details, do not assume it. Try on the planned underwear and evaluate whether its edges do not come out from under the straps, armholes or open back.

Raise your hands, reach forward, sit down and turn your body. Observe whether the strap twists, shifts toward the neck or edge of the shoulder, and changes the position of the joints. This is a fit test of a particular dress, not a guarantee of support. At the fitting in CRYSTAL, take photos from the front, side and back before and after movement - this way it is easier to notice asymmetry without constantly correcting details.
