Fittings and Practical Considerations
Spaghetti straps live or die on bodice fit. Because the straps aren’t carrying the full weight of the gown (the corset does that), strap length only affects how the dress sits on your shoulders. A good fitter will adjust strap length first, then bodice, then hem.
Dell’Amore is a New Zealand wedding dress boutique with in-store fittings, and the team handles strap and bodice tweaks through the alteration process. If you’re trying spaghetti strap gowns for the first time, watch how the straps sit; they should rest cleanly across the top of your shoulder without slipping inward or pulling outward.
How the Straps Should Sit
If you are trying spaghetti strap gowns for the first time, watch how the straps sit. They should rest cleanly across the top of your shoulder without slipping inward or pulling outward. Straps that sit well keep the neckline balanced and the gown comfortable throughout the day.
Strap placement is a small adjustment with a large effect on how the gown looks and feels. Straps that slip or pull can distract from the neckline and the silhouette. Checking how they sit during the fitting, and across different movements, ensures the straps stay where they should once the gown is altered.

Bring the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear to your fittings, since these affect how the bodice and hem sit. Most gowns require more than one fitting, with the final one close to the wedding date so the gown reflects your true measurements.
