Just a suggestion, wouldn't a bra strap clip [amazon.com]fix the strap problem?

I've never tried one and I know it's to make it into a racer back, but it would still tighten it, right?

Or a safety pin as someone said in the reviews.
I was going to suggest this! But I don't think it's loose enough to be made into a racer back unfortunately. it's just a *tad* loose for me, but the straps would need to be much longer to be able to clip it, i think. still, something to consider as my incredible straps continue to stretch out...

What cheaper bras work with codes? I haven't been able to get any of the cheaper ones to work? I want to get more SRCs, but I'm going to go broke at $40 - $50/bra.

Quote from longislandgirl :
I am in the same line :omg : specially with all these free shipping with bra codes lately.
I think may be i should make transition to wireless bras so other bras will not lure me laugh out loud but then at first I will be shopping wireless bra like mad :lmao : I am s sucker of VS gel curve push up bras. Specially those with animal trims :heart :
We're so pathetic, aren't we? Where's the discipline we're supposed to have? If you find some, please send it my way. laugh out loud

Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
GH- Yes, as far as I know there are no wireless bras available in DD. In store the cotton wireless only goes up to a C and BBV goes up to a D. I would suggest the Incredible.... and I realize that a lot of people have issues with the straps falling down, so I always suggest the front-close racer-back version. That way the straps won't slide off your shoulders. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper

I believe Icey tried this solution and it worked for her.
That stinks. Wireless bras are easier to wash. Plus, I think they're more comfortable. I'm going to try a few different bras. Hopefully, I'll find one I really like. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the tip. I've never tried one of those, but I'll keep it in mind for future use.

Ohh, random suggestion, well, follow up suggestion, what about like a longer extender? I don't know if they're all OS, but that might work with different strap loosing levels?

Quote from annicus :
i haven't figured out a way to make it fit better yet. darn VS and its "self-adjusting straps". like, duh, everyone is a different height and needs a different length. that's why they made straps adjustable in the first place! Crazy shake head eventually i may have to sew it or something. someone here mentioned that the racerback demi fixes that problem (bc those straps won't fall down) - i got one of those in the SAS but haven't worn it yet.
i got the solution. happy bra straps. [drugstore.com]

i actually just found it a couple of days ago and ordered. will come in tomorrow i think!


Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
hehe! I know! I'm so excited...And I bought one in-store today that isn't online yet. Super cute though...and I got this ring- http://www.express.com/semi-preci.../index.pro

It is quite large but I think it's much prettier and more expensive looking in person.

That's cute! I think azn is hoarding all the discipline. She's been too strong lately. She's making the rest of us look bad. We need to get on her to spend more money. Whip

Yes, go for it!! I think it would look so amazing with a simple white sundress or other understated clothing item.
