Straps for bra

Bra is an integral part of women's wardrobe. Not only the appearance of the female breast, but also the mood of its owner depends on its quality, because it is simply impossible to feel confident and irresistible with the wrong and uncomfortable bodice.

An important part of this type of linen are straps.

There are several types of straps, each of which fits a certain outfit: its shape, neckline and color.

• “Native” straps, that is, those that are the basic part of the bra. They can be attached to the bodice or removable;

• transparent silicone straps - suitable for summer dresses and clothes with bare shoulders;

• T-back, or T-shirt neckline - this is the name for straps, interconnected in the middle of the back. Their main advantage is that they do not constrain movements and do not fall, forming a beautiful chest line. In addition, they are not visible under sleeveless clothes;

• straps crosswise - suitable for clothes with an open back and shoulders. The cross can pass both on the shoulder blades and under the bodice;

• Shoulder straps through the neck are a bra with one strap, held on the neck. It can be done by yourself, leaving one strap in place and hooking it to the place of attachment of another strap;

• a bra with one strap is ideal for clothes with an open shoulder;

• decorative straps - neatly and seductively look with transparent tops and dresses. Can be in the form of lace, beads, chains, sequins;

• additional straps - this is an elastic band with hooks, which lengthens the main straps, allowing you to give them any desired shape.

All types of shoulder straps are designed solely to improve the women's outfit.Which ones to choose - depends on what kind of clothes the bra is matched to.

When choosing straps, be sure to consider their length, width and location of the straps.

Length. Shoulder straps on all bras vary in length - one of the women has breasts higher, others lower, the shoulders of the ladies may be sloping or, conversely, high. Therefore, when buying linen it is very important to try on your favorite option.

Current manufacturers of bras have tried to create a universal version of the straps with varying lengths. To adjust it, just move the latch, and the straps will begin to fit under any female body. If the latch is unstable on the product and constantly moves, sew it, having pre-selected the desired length.

Width. It is believed that bra straps are needed exclusively to support the chest, although in reality only 10% of this function depends on them. Therefore, the width of the strap does not solve anything at all - the main thing is that the straps do not hit the shoulders. However, if you are the owner of a heavy chest, then wide straps are preferable for you - they will help to remove the load from the back.

Location. How bra straps will be placed depends on the width of your shoulders. For women with narrow shoulders, shoulder straps should be located as close to each other as possible. But for broad-shouldered ladies, it is better to choose the opposite option, then the straps will not crash and put pressure on your shoulders.

To straps did not fall, you need to choose the right bra. But how to make sure that linen suits you?

• bra cups should not differ from the size of your chest: they should be neither smaller nor larger;
• the style of the bra should correspond to your growth: for tall women, the straps are longer. Here you will be saved by universal straps, with a varying size;
• if you have sloping or narrow shoulders, you should either abandon the widely spaced straps, or purchase a special retainer that is mounted on the back, in the middle of both straps, attracting them and preventing them from slipping.

If the bra suits you in all respects, but the straps did not please you, you can always purchase them separately.

The first simplest solution to this situation is to choose straps to match the color of your clothes. So they will look very harmonious.

To hide the straps under a wrestling shirt or dress with an open back, you can use the following methods:

• cross straps, fastening one in place of the other;
• cross straps with a special clip-clip. By the way, an ordinary paper clip will do for this.

For dresses with an open back, it is recommended to use additional straps for lengthening, which are then fixed under the chest. Or another option: one strap can be secured with the free end in place of the second, then put your head in the loop and remove the second strap. Also in this situation, decorative straps save.

When wearing classic dresses with straps, we sew on the back of the straps a perpendicular strip with a clip / button - we will attach straps to this loop so they will not go beyond the accepted frames.

If you decide to wear clothes with bare shoulders, a strapless bra will help you hide the lingerie. But if he does not hold your chest well, stay in the classic form of a bra, just wrap the straps not on the shoulders, but on the place under the chest: one strap on the back, the second on the front. Reliable fixation is provided.

For lovers of dresses and tops with one shoulder, it is enough to simply remove one shoulder strap, and the outfit is ready. The second strap can be hidden if held under the chest and attached to the first.

In order for the straps not to slip, there are special silicone linings under them, which will also help if the straps of your bra cut into the shoulders.They are made of flesh-colored silicone, which makes them completely invisible.

Straps for a bra are as important as the bra itself, because the comfort and confidence of a woman depend on them. Therefore, it is so important to choose the straps that are right for you.
