2 Minutes
Easy

Waiting to wear your perfect, halter dress this summer but you don’t know how to hide your bra straps?


There’s no need to buy a fancy, convertible bra or an awkward, uncomfortable strapless one. You can wear your regular bra using this hack to hide the bra straps!

Upstyle Recommends!

If your bra doesn't work with this hack try these bra clips instead! This 12-pack comes in 3 colors and 4 shapes and Amazon reviewers swear by it.

Before

1. Loosen the straps

Wear your bra as usual. At this point, you shouldn’t wear the dress yet. I’m only wearing mine for the sake of modesty for the tutorial!


Then, loosen the straps, making them as long as possible. You can shorten them later if necessary.

2. Cross the straps in the front

Next, put the long straps back on and cross each one over your head to match the X shape of the neckline.

Here’s the other side. This is why the straps need to be as long as possible!

Crossing the straps

You can see here that the bra straps closely match the shape of the X neckline. This would work too with a regular, halter dress or top.

Here’s how this bra strap hack looks when you put the dress on after adjusting your bra.

    I'm going to try it. My VS has seem to have longer straps and I may be able to do so. What about when it's a strapless dress or top? Any tips on that?

      I usually put my bra on the tightest setting and then slip the straps off my shoulders and tuck them inside.
