Am I an odd shape? Strap related rage!

Nearly every camisole I own with the thin straps fall off my shoulders and it’s giving me the rage! Same with a dress I bought last week Angry

I don’t think I have a short torso or sloping shoulders so just why?? It’s so irritating & I’m having to cut an inch or so off then stitch them back on. Not always with great results as my sewing skills are poor at best...

I see camis on the models and they can often look very low on the cleavage, not having perky boobs I have to wear a bra or I’d look ridiculous. Is it just me or are long straps now a thing?

Are they too tight on your boobs? That can make the straps slide off as the camisole gets stuck on the bra.

I got a great silk camisole in the M & S sale and the straps are adjustable and it’s fab. So maybe look for adjustable straps, they have a slider like on a bra strap.

No I have this problem, I have to buy vests and scrappy dresses with adjustable straps or shorten them. All tops and dresses cut too low because my boobs are too high/above boob height too short. Try petite if you are not too long in the body.

I have this problem and I can't work out if its the big boobs issueissue mentioned above or of I have weird slopey shoulders as I can never wear shoulder bags without them falling off either.

Not overly large boobs so don’t think it’s that either, will look for some with adjustable straps to save some time sewing. I’ll try some from a petite range in case I do actually have a short body and haven’t realised Grin
