😍This hack was 💯 inspired by my need to stop my bra straps from sliding down my shoulder all day! In this video, I share with you how to whip up an awesome hack to this in under 5 minutes!

Dawn,I do not know what size g clip to get or where the most economical to buy.. I went to Joanne's, to Michael's and hobby lobby today looking... no one had the elastic ribbon and I found black metal clips at Joanne's...didn't want black..found white ones at Hobby Lobbybut only 2 per pack..you mentioned metallic coated plastic...didn't see any of these...where do I find them...and size please!

So, I have a shoulder issue...so this won't work for me. But I still want to keep my bra straps up. I've been properly measured & have already purchased (4) brand new bras, they fit perfectly in the cup & the band...but the straps have been shortened as much as they can, and the straps still work their way to the shoulders edge. Help....ugh🤦
Hi Dawn, I was in need of this yesterday & was ready to throw the bra away & was barely worn. I will be making these bra strap controllers for myself & others. Thanks for the wonderful video !👍
I can't believe how easy that looks and straps will stay up. I hope that strap doesn't ride up the back to the neck again but I guess it doesn't. You made my day.
This idea was most definitely a game changer! Can't thank you enough for coming up with and sharing this idea....I have done this all week long and it is so nice to be comfortable in a bra that the left strap stays where it belongs!!! So glad your video crossed my path!
This is exactly what I needed!! I had a reverse shoulder replacement and have had trouble with that strap falling ever since. This is a game changer!! Thank you, Dawn!!
Thank you! I will make a few of these! I don’t have round shoulders but instead I have a curvature of the spine. My curve is most pronounced in my upper back. This solution is perfect! I wonder how many people are like me. So glad I finally thought to check TH-cam for a solution!
I've been making these for years but sewing by hand and folding over the ends so they wouldn't fray. I will be making some new ones and using your tip about melting the ends. Thanks very much.
Thanks Dawn. I have the same problem so this is a great solution. The last bras I bought didn't slip at first but after a few washings I was right back at the 'strap pulling-up' event again.
Fantastic hack! Anyone with rounded shoulders will appreciate this. In high school my mother, an excellent seamstress, taught me to make a strap holder for my garments. Basically a thin strip of fabric under each shoulder seam. One end is sewn near the outside edge of the shoulder seam; the other has the female end of a snap. The male snap is sewn to the other side of the shoulder seam (nearer the neck). Your hack is so much better!! I had to do mine to each of my garments because of sloped shoulders. Your idea makes a product that can be used for multiple garments. I bought some of that stretch elastic in different colors but no idea how to use it. All I need are those little hooks. Thank you so much for sharing. I always appreciate your videos. Short and to the point, well made, and always helpful. ❤
Love this! I’ll be making one too. In your fleece scarf video you had on a nice thin wrist strap that looked magnetic. Did you make it? If so, can you do a tutorial please?
I just ordered 1 from your website, I order some from Amazon but couldn't connect them by myself. My next venture is to learn to sew. But in the meantime I'll happily go to your site. Thanks so much, I believe this will work.
Update- Thank you Dawn, I love it and wear it all the time. It has changed my life. I bought a sewing machine for xmas, looking forward to learning to sew 💓
That is GENIUS!!!! I have been trying to solve this problem for years and had a couple of ideas, but I think I’m going to try this! Since you were in the swimwear industry, I was thinking just to take the swimwear elastic that the industry uses to prevent things from moving in the bottoms. Just to sew to the underside of the strap to see if that would keep it in place, but I have not been able to find this elastic. Going to try this for sure!!! Thanks so much!!!
Thanks Cindy, the rubber used in swimsuit elastic is supposed to be made for chlorine. I never used it in our factory because it has a tendency to 'bite' and be uncomfortable. I think the same rule applies here too. The ribbon elastic is perfect, effortless, easy to sew and you'll forget it's on! No more sliding straps! Yay! Thank you for watching - let me know how it works out for you!
I have a different issue. my dog chewed up the strap and plastic thing - where it connects to the band. not sure where to look for the pieces I might need. the hooks you show 'might' work?
I just found your channel and I’ve been really impressed with your tips. Thank u. I see your from Pittsburgh my home town is Kittanning 40 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Hello, This is an very annoying problem. I like your idea and appreciate your demonstration. I had trouble finding them on do you still sell them there?
I want to thank you so so much! For years I’ve had my bra strap slide down I don’t know if it was my shoulders it couldn’t keep it up. I no longer have to be embarrassed of my straps always coming down and having to pull them back in place. It works perfectly and so comfortable. It has changed my life. Thank you thank you thank you🙏💕
Love this hack! Although, I have older bras (most of which are more costly) that do not slide down the shoulders. Maybe you can answer why manufactures started making bras with sliding straps? Thanks so much.
@@StreamlineSeamstress I experimented with some woven elastic almost same width as bra straps. I attached the elastic ends to the strap and also zigzag stitched down the centre of the length. It has helped.
You said that for a 40 or under band size you'd want a finished size of 12 inches. For the larger sizes of bands should it be 13 inches since you cut the ribbon 1 inch longer?
i have an issue i need a solution to. my mother in law and i were discussing this recently. we are both large busted and our straps are constantly sliding to the longest point, causing the straps to fall. while this doodad would keep them from falling, how do you prevent the straps from sliding in the first place? its the weight of the breast that causes them to slide. so what do we do, short of sewing a tack in and moving them as the strap stretches over time; or putting a safety pin in for the same purpose? thanks for this idea.
I wish there were a good reply to this question. I have safety pinned mine, but that was a fiasco when the pin undid itself!!! I'm considering putting a permanent tack in the two layers of the strap above the no good holder, so it won't be able to move up anymore!!! I always say , "this is 2021, you would think they could have solved this strap falling issue years ago, it must be men who created bras"!!!!

Hello there sewing angel! My first advice to you would to be 'more personal' in your videos. I watched your intro video and you never mentioned your name or talk to the viewers as people. You need to build a community of fans and friends and you do that by befriending them, by connecting with them. Asking for 'views and subscriptions' without letting people know who you are - what you're about and what you offer is like asking someone to hire you without an interview, or a resume. You're asking for a reward without offering a gift of meaning. Think about it, there are tens of thousands of creative content videos on TH-cam. What makes anyone stand out over the others? It's the connection people have with the person in the video. If they feel no connection, the don't watch. Work on your connection through meaningful content. Be well, and good luck.
I use 2 thin strips of carpet tape which is double sided tape….place tape on top of bra straps and it sticks to whatever you are wearing…easy peasy. No damage to bra strap or your clothing
I look this up years ago. If your straps are falling you are wearing the in correct bra size. I found this to be true. The snug fitting bra the strap do not fall.
As a swimsuit pattern maker and designer with more than 30 years of experience, I can assure you two things happen. Your bra/swimsuit will never fit the same as the day you bought it, and your breasts are likely to change size and volume with age and weight loss/gain. Though in great shape, a bra you bought a year ago will never fit the same as the day you bought it. This strap gives your bra longevity.

@Dawn Takacs do you have any ideas on how to keep your bra back from creeping up your back?
Thank you for all of this great info Dawn! You have a very soothing voice as well, reminds me of Bob Ross only better
Wow, thank you!
Any ideas for straps that are too short ?
I just found your channel and I’ve been really impressed with your tips. Thank u. I see your from Pittsburgh my home town is Kittanning 40 miles north of Pittsburgh.

I have no idea how to find you at Esty, I want to buy products for this strap from you. However, you don't have a link for Esty here.
Hi Debra, thanks for asking! Here's the link to purchase from my website! streamlineseamstress.com/product/bra-security-strap/
Love this hack! Although, I have older bras (most of which are more costly) that do not slide down the shoulders. Maybe you can answer why manufactures started making bras with sliding straps? Thanks so much.
This is super awesome 😎
Awesome idea! What size are the Gold G hooks?
The link is in the description, 15mm. :) Slightly over 1/2" - a perfect fit for the ribbon elastic.
@@StreamlineSeamstress Thank you so much! 😘
What should the G hook measure for the 5/8 elastic ribbon?
The same, it's 5/8" wide. :)
Hi any chance you will offer it in nude tones ? I see only two colors on your website .
Nice share 👍👍
Great tip, thank you. Do you have any tips of how to stop bra straps rolling in and cutting into the shoulder? 💕
Not yet!
@@StreamlineSeamstress I experimented with some woven elastic almost same width as bra straps. I attached the elastic ends to the strap and also zigzag stitched down the centre of the length. It has helped.
Nice!!
Can I make my bra strap longer ? I got a 44DDD Playtex bra and the strap isn't long enough
Yes, add 1" inch to the larger cut, go 15.5 and that should work! Good luck!
Pls how can I contact you?
You can email me dawn@streamlineseamstress.com - thank you!
😊 thank you so much, that was me 😆
No problem 😊Now it's solved! :) Thanks for watching!
You said that for a 40 or under band size you'd want a finished size of 12 inches. For the larger sizes of bands should it be 13 inches since you cut the ribbon 1 inch longer?
I finish medium at 12" and large at 13" -that's sewn not cut. :)

Hello?
that got to be uncomfortable
You do not even notice it's there! It's very comfy!
Remember when back in a day you would buy a bra n it fit. Now they are expensive n don't fit right.
Where do you buy the stretch knit needles?
JoAnn fabrics
