Help w/ wardrobe malfunction

[NachoProblem]

One of my new bras has those little brackets that the bra straps hook into... similiar to this,



but instead of the opening being on the side, it's in the center... and it's symmetrical... shaped like this [_]

Anyways, my freaking straps keep popping out and then I have to go into the bathroom and take my bra off to fix it. Is there a way I can MacGuyver this shit so my bra doesn't fall apart at work anymore? That would be super.

I'm just going to sew the straps directly to the band. I ain't got time for this ish.

ETA: Thanks for the responses! I'm just bitter I just bought a new chantelle bra and its unwearable as is. grrrrr

nacho, is the flat part against your skin or the open part? not sure if that would make a difference?

[NachoProblem]

So the bracket is shaped like this [_] and the strap loops around the top part of the bracket... where those little arms are. The whole thing lays flat on my back (so both the flat and open part are against skin) but for some reason the straps don't stay in there! Bahhh so annoying.

Ugh...I had the same problem with a convertable sports bra I had once. Nothing like trucking along on the elliptical machine and *plink* there goes your strap.

I think that I used the same solution - I sewed the strap directly to the bra part.

that sounds so annoying! i hope you can jerry-rig it to work.
