This dress was too long, likely to trip me up. Also the hem was catching on the Velcro (hook and close) of my shoes. And the neckline was low, showing the vest underneath. I wondered whether I could tie the spaghetti straps together behind my neck. With what? A shoe lace from my husband's hiking boots. I had no time to do anything. We were about to go down to a group dinner in a hotel. So I hoisted up the spaghetti straps, wondering about cutting them so I could tie them together. No need to do that. I simply tied them together in a double knot at the back. I worried that the knot would be too tight and inconveniently placed when it came to the time for me to undress. I reckoned my husband would be able to untie the knot for me. However, no need for that. I was able to pull the knot apart myself. I had bought a couple of spaghetti strap dresses as sets with matching chiffon coats or plain colour matching bolero, from Temu and Shein. I really wanted more cover across the top...
