How to Make a Regular Bra a Racerback
- 1). Lengthen each bra strap by about 2 inches.
- 2). Place a straight back chair in front of you with the back closest to you.
- 3). Hook the bra onto the straight back chair with the bra closure facing you.
- 4). Straighten the bra straps so that they rest on the "shoulders" of the chair back.
- 5). Pull the bra down the chair back until straps are only slightly slack.
- 6). Draw the bra straps in toward each other at the mid-back and pinch together with your thumb and forefinger.
- 7). Wrap the piece of elastic lengthwise around the two bra straps and safety-pin the ends of the elastic together. Do not pin the straps themselves. This will create an elastic "tube" that will allow the straps to slide freely.
- 8). Try the bra on. To do this, leave the bra unhooked and slide your head and arms through the openings simultaneously, position properly, then hook as usual.
- 9). The elastic should comfortably pull in the shoulder straps at mid-back for the classic racerback style. Tighten or loosen the straps further for a proper fit.
