Highlighting on this. Asuna's missing bra strap within the anime was "special effect", stated as such because 16.5 was not part of the official publication. The said scene (16.5) was not even within the original web novel, so even that source can't be used. And Reki posted the chapter in the fanfiction category of his website, which is by definition "not canon to the original plot".

On the other hand, we already have adaption notes for each of the SAO Light Novel Volume pages, if any discrepancies between the two are known. Such a discrepancy page between LN and WN in itself is not needed.
