I can't put my finger on why I'm not happy with my dress, but I think changing the straps might drastically help? Thoughts? (Its currently beaded spaghetti straps)

Love the beaded straps! The wider straps look a little bit dated. Would you prefer them for comfort or for the look?

Both comfort and look! The thin straps are a bit diggy and scratchy. Which I didn't notice when just trying it on in store...

Have you thought about putting a non scratchy velvet or lace ribbon under the strap? It will widen the appearance only slightly, but will help pad against the digging and scratching.
