petals work great but create wrinkles as you smooth them out [SEP] i love this dress but it is sheer enough to see all the details i was able to use the petals to successfully wear it finally i have those adhesive strapless bras but those will not work for this kind of dress obviouslythey are painless but i suggest starting from the bottom and working upward to remove themthe biggest issue for me was how the petals wrinkle up as i tried to smooth them out i thought that the wrinkles would be visible but they were not and nobody could see through the dress depending on the lighting you can see everything so these help prevent thatthe petals stayed on for hours and i could not even feel them which i really liked
