What are these loops for?

[ferrier]

Just bought this dress. It has a Bardot neckline but what are these two loops for?

Looks like straps are an option. Did it come with some attached in a little bag (like spare buttons do)? If not you might want to check to see whether it should have done. X

Didn't notice any but will go and look!

If you want to add in detachable straps?

For an emergency cigarette and lighter (one in each loop)?

To attach to your bra?

Are there loops at the back of the dress as well? They look in a slightly odd place for straps - too close together?

Can't find any straps or buttons. There's also no loops on the back (those two are both on the front) though I guess a halter strap could be an option.

What's the pattern on the front like? Could just be the pattern that's sewed into the boob bit? If that makes sense....

For an emergency cigarette and lighter (one in each loop)?

I like that idea even though I don't smoke 😂

To thread the hanging strings through?

Hmmm - not making sense to me! I can be a bit style challenged though!

You put your bra straps through them to keep the dress in place. I have a few like that.

Yes, I had these on my bridesmaid dress. You thread the handing strings through those first so it pulls the dress in more to sit better on the hanger.

Why would I do that? (curious, not disagreeing)

Racecar - it's a strapless dress though

Oops *hanging!

Racecardriver - do you have detachable bra straps? Otherwise I can’t see how that would work. But a genius idea if they are detachable.
(Wishes I had smaller boobs)

Ah right. So down through the loop?
That could make sense because it was delivered on a skirt hanger with the neckline held in the clips of the skirt hanger so I've not actually put it on a standard hanger.

Agree with permeantly, you have a hanging strap there which we can see in the pic, you thread that through your mystery loops and it keeps the dress hanging straighter on the hanger.

Def not for putting bra straps through, they would be on the shoulder of the dress, not the cups

I think it depends where the hanging strings are stitched in. On mine, I think you put them up through the loops, then it pulled the sides of the dress in. It worked quite well as I am rather busty, so there was a lot of material to gather!!

Thank you all. Dress now hanging all perky like on a proper hanger 😊

Ooh it looks fab!

Thank you Pigeon. I am hoping it will look just as fab on as it's the most I've ever spent on a dress
