I really did not want to buy it so early, but I saw it with my MOH in Chicago last month. It turns out the designer has a boutique in the city and they were having a sale last night. So I went with my mom, and the rest is history!!

They can make it strapless if I want, but I am not sure, what do you guys think?

Thanks Mims, for the photo shop work!

I think if you went strapless, you'd lose the 'flow' of the dress. It's beautiful

i would keep it as is unless you can see the dress altered in a pic with the straps removed

I also think the straps add something to it. If you took them away there really would not be too much material above the crystal bodice.

It's beautiful just the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing.

I agree

I think it looks pretty with the Photo-shopped strapless bodice. I like that you retained the dip in the front.

Your post indicates that it would go straight across if the salon does the alterations. If that is the case, I prefer the sleeveless version.
