Bra fitting help » New Freya, straps slide
Freya » Patsy Padded Half Cup Bra (1223) » 32F 32:7
Issue resolved
Issue was resolved by talking to helpful bratabase ladies!
Original problem
I'm not sure if this is an issue but the straps seem to slide on my shoulders a little. Just wanted to make sure it was a minor issue and not a major fit problem that I couldn't see.

helpfulwell, some bras (a lot of bras) have straps that are just too wide-set, and they tend to fall off the shoulders. Its a design flaw more than a fit issue. Sometimes tightening the straps helps, some ppl actually move the straps, like with a needle and thread. apparently the placement of the straps makes a big difference in the lift, tho

It's only a problem if they fall off annoyingly, cause discomfort, or give you a shape you dislike due to the lack of stability or the unintended effect of extra gaping along the top edge when you have to angle the straps in. Almost all Freya straps are wide-set enough to annoy me and feel unstable, but if you're not as badly affected as I am and you're comfortable, I would not worry about it. Many people feel just fine angling the straps in and are happy with the shape.

Having narrow shoulders, my straps fall off all the time. the question is, how does it feel being on all day? rub spots? or just annoying constant replacing? it might be a minor issue, it might be a major issue, it depends on how it feels and your personal fit preferences.

helpfulYou can also use a rixie clip to bring the straps in and mimic a halterneck style.

Ah I'm sorry I'm on mobile and it autocorrected it. I meant racerback clips. You slide them on the back of the straps and they will being them to the center more. It works if you don't want to sew your bras or you want to see how it would look.

Thanks! I'm doing a trial run today at work to see. I'm also making those bra liney things for sweat so hopefully any rub will either show itself or already be taken care of.
