Choosing the right straps

In itself, sewing a Straps is not particularly difficult. The hardest part is choosing the Straps you want to sew onto your dress.

Fine spaghetti straps, halter straps, criss-cross straps, asymmetrical straps? Depending on the style you want to bring to your dress and the comfort you're looking for, you'll choose one or the other.

Transform the Straps on your dress and transform its style

The Straps on your dress may be lacking in originality, and changing them is an excellent idea.

On their own, they can change the whole style of your dress.

Perhaps you handle the loom perfectly? Why not
make your own straps and create a unique design?

Perhaps you prefer something
very simple and uncluttered? Then you'll opt for spaghetti straps. Easy to make and assemble, they remain a safe bet and go equally well with a chic dress or a casual dress.

As for the sewing part, this will obviously depend on the type of Straps you've chosen but overall, you can sew them by machine or by hand, depending on the number of stitches you need to make.
