Decorated rear straps draw narrow leaf-like lines across the shoulders in this close view. Sheer-looking bands sit lower around the upper arms. An open back area remains between them. The close-fitting bodice has vertical lines and fine pale trails that continue into the skirt. Hair lies partly over one side of the back; the lower hem is not fully included in the photograph.
Compare the two shoulder lines separately. If the decorated straps appeal most, you need not automatically choose the same lower arm section as well. On a real dress, point out which line you want to retain and which surface seems more than you want. Ask about the existing construction before planning an alteration.
Try your hairstyle once with the back clear and once with hair loosely placed over it. This shows how much of the fine drawing you actually want visible. A veil can overlap those lines too; compare it initially without extra back jewellery. You need a complete view to choose the overall skirt pattern. This photograph is especially useful for the straps, bands and beginning of the trailing motifs.
