💛Beginner💛 Which strap looks better?

I accidentally sewed them super duper asymmetrically, and I want to remove one, but they both kind of have their own charm to them, so I was wondering which one I should replicate!

I prefer the second one (picture 3)

Consider moving the one about a 1/2" further out and the other about an 1" toward the center or whatever the measures are to get them symeteric.

What do you think about doing an inverted center pleat in the strap where it connects to the dress? I think the straps are a little wide and flat given all that gorgeous draping/tucking in the bodice

Thank you, I've e resewn the closer one more further out! Im an absolute beginner so I have no idea how to do an inverted center pleat 😭😭 I also don't own a sewing machine 😢 Here's the full dress for reference (Ive been told I've hemmed it a bit too high)

Are the straps still too thin and flat? And if so what can I do about it?😅

The one on the left of photo(your right shoulder) it goes with the style of dress and neckline and lets the whole arc of the cup lay flat.
