If you make the back in a V neckline with the point of the V about 5
inches below the nape of the neck, they won't go anywhere, especially
if you put twill tape in the edge of the neckline so it can't stretch
anywhere. If you bring the sides of the front of the neckline close
in to the neck and put the back of the neckline at the nape of the
neck, they really won't go anywhere.
Lingerie loops (or bra loops) are good for some things, but if the
sleeves are heavy enough to drag the dress off her shoulders, they
might be heavy enough to drag the brastraps off, too.

I am working on a wedding gown with
raglan sleeves; the neckline looks like
some of the examples cited within the
past week. So, I'm wondering what to
do when you love the look, but are worried
about the sleeves sliding too far off the
shoulders. Would you narrow the top of
the sleeve (that makes up the over-the-
shoulder part of the neckline)? This is a
modern-style dress with simple princess
lines, done in silk matelasse underlined with
silk organza. Thanks a million.
