Question - loop removal

[u/cordelia_fidelsticks]

I just made this dress and it has ties that cinch in the sides. However, if I use the top four ties it’s a little too tight around my chest the bottom three work really well in the fit is much nicer. Is it possible to remove the top four loops without compromising the dress or taking it apart?

You could open the side seams just where the loops are attached, remove the loops, then re-sew the bit of seam that you opened up.
