Everyone has had this issue: the bra that sneaks out of your low cut dress. What can you do? Many bras strap straight across the back and don't flatter the figure with a low cut back. You can purchase the stick on boobs or go comando. Neither of those options lift nor flatter the chest. Thanks to Extra Petite we have the solution!
With a little maneuvering, you can turn your favorite natural cut bar into a low back dream. All you need is clasps from an old bar, an elastic band and some thread! Here are the step by step instructions:
1) Snip
off the clasps from an old bra, making sure to leave enough "band" on
to attach to the elastic. Bra clasps for the most part are universally sized,
but do test out the clasps on the bra you plan on wearing just to be
sure.
2) Sew one clasp to the end of an elastic band. Make sure you sew it on securely because there will be tension pulling on the band.
3) Clasp it on one end of your bra, and wrap around your tummy to measure the length you need. You want it to be taut so that the tension pulls the back of bra band down low enough, but not so tight that you're uncomfortable. Cut your elastic to the length you need, then sew on the second clasp. Voila! This will not work on completely back-less items, but is adjustable enough to work on a range of lower-dipping backs.

The finished product is a gal's best friend and hidden treasure! This technique works on almost any bra with any low cut back dress! The lower the back the better. Dare to look your best by hiding your bra straps.
