Strapless dresses?
I know the general consensus is that if you're going to wear a strapless dress to wear a blouse or something underneath it/make it not so obvious that it's strapless. My question is, are there any looks/styles where it's okay to wear a strapless dress without your shoulders being covered (by like a jacket or something)? I mean, you can wear a strapless dress and still have it be tasteful, so is it totally taboo across the board? Or is it okay in some cases? What do you think would need to be added to make a strapless dress passable as Lolita (without making it no-longer-strapless)?
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this, when you think it's acceptable (pics encouraged!), or if you think it isn't, then why.
Edit: For those who don't read through the comments.. The main reason I'm asking is I'm working on making a dress for something I'm going to next week, and I was thinking of Loli-fying it, but I wasn't sure where the line would be drawn between Lolita and not with no blouse underneath. The dress is very similar to one linked below (here), the general cleavage problem isn't an issue (it doesn't dip any lower than any of the regular dresses I see posted, and the dress stays up really well), and I plan on pairing it with various distractions anyway (some sort of collar/choker, wrist cuffs, some sort of head piece, etc).
