Like this for example

is it acceptable to show straps? My boobs look like poached eggs in strapless bras.

I think you can wear a bra strap that matches, or is a nice colour that goes with the dress. So you could wear a black bra with that. I have a bra with fuchsia pink straps and it looks nice with colourful summer tops.

What you don't want is grubby/white/grey bra elastic on show. But have a look and you can get bras with v. pretty straps, from m&S, la senza etc. that aren't expensive.

I don't really like the bra stap showing, but I also coulc not wear that dress, perhaps if I were slim enough to wear the dress the bra stap showing look would not be so awful on me.
