Strapless? Small spegetti cord, or self shoulder straps, gathered to about
2/3"..."'usually snapped on for ease of removal..for an option. Self fabric
trim using bows, roses Other fabric flowers...one Elizabeth Taylor gown
appliqued the whole bodice with daiseys (I think) Sprinkles of sequins , tiers
of ruffles (tulle) or organza.. The tulle ruffle at th bottom would have been
attached to the hem of the dress."Dipping prtticosts (in my crowd) would have
been in poor taste (too long, rolled up and slipping.) Appliques of rattail in
geometric shapes. American in Paris, Daddy Longlegs are two films that might
give you some ideas.
