Does anyone else always feel like their straps are falling off their shoulders? Do you find yourself "holding" muscles in your body unconsciously to prevent the straps from falling down? If so, have you found any solution for this issue? I seem to have narrow shoulders compared to many other people. I can't wear spaghetti strap-anything...not dresses or shirts. And bras have always caused this issue as well. I mentioned this is the bra fitting request I made today. I found that the issue is better since finding a more correct size (32D vs. my old 34B), but it is still an issue. Manufacturers hardly make any dresses or shirts that have fabric across the back. Instead they opt for spaghetti straps (probably to save costs on fabric). It is maddening.

Yes I do have this problem too! It's annoying...
I look for adjustable straps on tops (and honestly I avoid them and only use if I need a vest top under something low cut) but then adjust the straps as tight as possible so they are less likely to slip.
There are some bras that have more centered straps and are marketed as good for narrow shoulders. Bravissimo Lacey was one of them.
It's nice to hear that someone else faces this challenge. At least I'm not crazy! :) I looked up the Lacey model - thanks for sharing the recommendation. The smallest is a 30E. When I click on it, it says it is equivalent to a US 30 DDD/F. I haven't tried any 30 band sizes yet, but I have tried 32D. I think 32D would be equivalent to a 30DD. So, I think the Bravissimo would be too big.
