Keeping bra straps in place

Feb 07, 2009 11:11

I'm hoping y'all can help me with a problem that I have - specifically, keeping bra straps ON my shoulders. I have sloping shoulders, and while the straps on one or two of my bras stay up beautifully on their own, the rest don't. I've tried shortening and lengthening them, and no dice.

However, I don't want to use lingerie tape - that seems kind of a temporary solution to what looks to be a permanent problem. Instead, I have this image in my mind of a detachable, kind of horizontal bra strap that you can hook or attach to your bra straps in back to keep them straight. I think these exist, but I'm not sure! Do they? I have no idea what they're called, so I can't even google them. I've already looked at such sites as Victoria's Secret, Torrid, Hips and Curves, and Curvy Girl Clothing, but of course no luck.

So, my question to you is: do these things exist, and if so, where can I find them?

ETA: I know that racerback bras stay up just fine - I have one and it's very comfortable. However, the edges of the straps tend to show on several of my wider-necked tops. I also want to be able to wear the bras I already have, rather than investing in several new bras right now.

ETA 2: Evidently falling-down straps is also a hallmark of a too-big bra band. Looks like I'll have to go in somewhere for a fitting.
