Would you consider making some arm bands, putting matching crystals on the bands and have hankie style small floats off of the bands. Take a look at the classifieds (ballroom) dresses for sale for ideas. My pro does not care one way or the other if I have floats or not. For me, it's the kind of floats that accent the oh so great dress in standard. Lovely. Not necessary but lovely to accent all the swing and sway and movement in closed frame position.
