An elegant and feminine dress can be found in every girl's wardrobe. A dress with an open back is especially sexy. Depending on the style, such a product can be chosen for almost any occasion: from a date and attending a social event to meeting with friends or going to a disco.
When trying on this model, girls are faced with the question of how to use the bra correctly. The image will take on an unaesthetic appearance, and sometimes even vulgarity, if the back of the underwear peeks out from under the outfit. Using a few tricks, the bra and dress can easily be combined. We'll tell you how to remake a product with your own hands.
Preparing for work
Before preparing the necessary tools, you should decide on the method of transforming the linen. There are many options, but the most popular ones include lengthening the straps and cutting the back of the bra.
Materials and tools
When starting work, you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand:
- bra;
- scissors;
- safety pins;
- matching threads;
- needle;
- elastic bands;
- a couple of extra hooks.
Addition. The list of materials required for work can be supplemented with other tools, depending on the sewing method.
Remaking a bra
When the appropriate method has been chosen and the tools have been prepared, we proceed to work.
Easy way
The easiest way is to cut off the back of the bra..
To do this, using scissors, cut off the straps on the back of the belt. We cut the belt itself along the line of the cup location.
Important! Be careful not to damage the fabric of the cups.
We attach the back half of the straps to the inside of the cup using pins. Before sewing, you should definitely try on the product to take into account possible nuances and correct errors.
If the underwear fits all the parameters and is securely placed on the body, carefully sew the straps to the wrong side of the cup. The bra is ready, it will be invisible in the open back area.
Remodeling with an elastic band
A more complex method to implement involves the use of an elastic band. The advantage of this tape is that it can be used and removed as needed.
We measure the required amount of tape. The edges will be located crosswise in place of the hooks, and the elastic itself will run in the abdominal area.
We sew a hook and eyelet along the edges. When using, the straps should be pulled back slightly so that the back of the underwear is guaranteed to fall down. This tape will help hide your bra under any dress or blouse with an open back.
Attention! When calculating the elastic, take into account its elasticity. Incorrect selection of length will cause discomfort.
Useful tips
- An unnecessary bodice can be sewn directly to a dress or sundress. To do this, cut the back of the product and remove the straps. We sew the cups with a belt to the dress in the chest area using small stitches. This will help solve the problem if you have one open-back item in your wardrobe.
- When choosing the appropriate method, you should take into account the volume of the breast. The first method is suitable for girls with small parameters. Ladies with curvy figures are recommended to use the option with an elastic band.
- When transforming a product with a wide belt, a method with a ribbon sewn on the sides is suitable. The strap in this case is located across the neck.
An elegant dress or airy sundress can transform any girl. Products with a cutout on the back highlight the figure favorably, adding a special note to the outfit. Many representatives of the fair sex in vain refuse to purchase because of the prominent details of underwear when using a dress. With a few tricks, you can adapt any bra to a backless outfit.
