Bra straps

Bra - 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 a wrong and uncomfortable bodice.

An important part of this type of underwear are straps.

There are several types of straps, each of which fits a particular 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 clothes and clothes with bare shoulders;

• T-back, or sweatshirt, is the name for the straps, connected to each other in the middle of the back. Their main advantage is that they do not constrain movements and do not fall down, forming a beautiful chest line. In addition, they are not visible under the sleeveless clothes;

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

• The straps through the neck are a bra with one strap, holding on to the neck. You can make it yourself, leaving one strap in place and hooking it to the attachment point of the other strap;

• bra with one strap is ideal for clothes with one shoulder;

• decorative straps - look neat and seductive with transparent tops and dresses. May be in the form of lace, beads, chains, sequins;

• Extra straps are an elastic tape with hooks that lengthens the main straps, allowing them to give any desired shape.

All types of straps are designed exclusively to improve women's attire. Which of them to choose depends on which clothes the bra is chosen for.

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

Length. The straps on all bras differ in length - some of the women have breasts higher, others lower; ladies' shoulders can be sloping or, conversely, high. Therefore, when buying linen is very important to try on the option you like.

The current manufacturers of bras tried to create a universal version of the straps with varying length. To adjust it, simply move the lock, and the straps will begin to fit any female body. If the retainer keeps on the product is unstable and constantly moves, sew it, ovibra in advance of the desired length.

Width. There is an opinion that the straps on the bra are needed solely to support the breast, although in fact only 10% of this function depends on them. Therefore, the width of the strap absolutely does not solve anything - the main thing is that the straps do not hit the shoulders. However, if you are the owner of a heavy chest, then it is preferable for you to have wide straps - they will help to take the load off your back.

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

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

• bra cups should not be different from the size of your chest: they should be no less, no more;
• bra style should match your height: for tall women fit straps longer.Here you will save universal straps, with varying size;
• if you have sloping or narrow shoulders, you should either refuse wide strapless, or purchase a special retainer, which is mounted on the back, in the middle of both straps, pulling them in and not letting them slip.

If the bra is suitable for you in all respects, but the straps are not pleasing, you can always buy them separately.

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

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

• cross the straps, attaching one to the other;
• cross straps with a special clip-clip. By the way, the usual paper clip will come up for this.

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

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

If you decide to wear clothes with bare shoulders, a strapless bra will help you to hide the underwear. But if he doesn’t hold your chest well, stay in the classic form of a bra, just throw around the straps not on the shoulders, but on the place under the chest: one strap behind, and the second in front. Reliable fixation is provided.

Lovers of dresses and tops with one shoulder just enough to remove one strap, and outfit is ready. The second strap can be hidden if held under the breast and attached to the first.

In order to prevent the straps from crawling, there are special silicone pads 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.

Bra straps are just as important as the bra itself, because women’s comfort and confidence depend on them. Because it is so important to choose straps that are right for you.
