strapless dress
I paid about $60.00 for this white strapless dress that I wore to a beauty pageant that I was in and haven't worn it since because I feel like it's going to fall off of me while i am wearing it it's a modesty issue . I don't like showing a lot of skin and every time I raise my arms it feels like it's going to fall off and I don't have the right type of bra either and I hate to waste $60.00 on a dress that i am only going to wear one time any solutions anybody would be greatly appreciated.

I get that too, feeling like a strapless top or dress is going to slip down as my arms and chest go up. Some times it does indeed creep tiny little bits that aren't noticeable at first so the only solution is to attach spaghetti straps or something thin like spaghetti straps that are attached at the middle and go around your neck halter style. Fabric stores may have something that will work for straps. Problem will be getting the exact color and fabric. So if I were you, I'd go for the ribbons or clothing embellishments that can be bought by the yard. Some will be sequins or jewels already sewn onto a strip of fabric. You could buy more than you think you'll need to be on the safe side. take the dress along and get the opinion of a clerk who works there. Hold the strap material up to your dress. She can probably also give you an idea of how much to get. Once you have it, make sure you have some sturdy safety pins to use in getting the right placement first. You'' want the help of a family member or friend who is good at sewing or crafty stuff. And have her keep making adjustments while you are wearing it so it feels comfortable. Or you can find a tailor or seamstress in the yellow pages or sometimes some dry cleaner also have a seamstress in same shop. And see what they would charge you to attach the straps for you. Then you'll have a fancy dress you can wear over the years so that the little investment at the fabric shop and for a tailor pays off.
