I LOVE this pattern! I’ve made 3 of these already, 2 of which are strapless.
To make the dress strapless, I put two rows of elastic in the back. One at the top, and one a few inches down (to correspond with the bodice seam) by sewing a strip of fabric across to make a casing.
Fabric, bias binding, buttons, elastic.

wahay, it’s lovely and thanx for the tip re using elastic in the back for the strapless versions! I was just looking for ways to make a strapless with reduced risk of wardrobe malfunctions.
