If it's a modern dress, there should be no objection to sewing bra loops into the shoulder seam. They're very comforting when you need your mind to be on other things! Sew True in NYC www.sewtrue.com has pre-made ones, very narrow ribbon and tiny snaps, in black or white. I'm sure other tailoring supply places carry them too. I haven't noticed them in places like JoAnn's though.

I would raise the back of the neckline so that the sleeves were less likely to fall. From my experience, tighter sleeve tops doesn't always help. Good luck. :)

  I am working on a wedding gown with
raglan sleeves; the neckline looks like
some of the examples cited within the
past week. So, I'm wondering what to
do when you love the look, but are worried
about the sleeves sliding too far off the
shoulders. Would you narrow the top of
the sleeve (that makes up the over-the-
shoulder part of the neckline)? This is a
modern-style dress with simple princess
lines, done in silk matelasse underlined with
silk organza. Thanks a million.
