Stand in front of a full length mirror and measure your rib cage by using a measuring tape around your ribs and pulling on it until you have a snug fit. Sew a hook and latch connector or Velcro connections on each end of the band ribbon that is cut to your measurements.
Fold each of the two fabric pieces you chose until they each form a triangle that covers your breasts. Slip the longest ribbon into the folds of each of the triangles, centering the triangles on the ribbon.
Sew the edges of your two triangles together at the point where they touch, then sew the band ribbon into place. This is the front of your bra.
Secure a ribbon to the top of each one of the triangles by sewing it firmly into place. Try the bra on by securing the long ribbon behind your back.
Slip the ribbons from the top of the triangles over your shoulders and mark the spot where they join the longest ribbon. Use a pencil to mark both the shoulder ribbon and the longest ribbon for each side.
Take off the cheap lingerie Use a needle and thread to secure the shoulder strap to the longest ribbon on each side.
Wear a strapless bra that covers your full torso, not just your bust. Retailers may refer to these undergarments as merrywidows, bustiers or long-line bras. Boning in the bra contours at your waist, the same way boning in a standard bra contours over your ribcage. The contours of your waist hold a torso-length bra in place so that it cannot slip.
Apply double-sided adhesive strips as a reinforcement between your skin and the bra. The adhesive is stronger than traditional tape and should not irritate your skin. The strips are 1 to 3 inches long and may be shaped according to the part of your bust to which you apply it.
Wear blouses and dresses that provide additional support. The clothing you wear on top of a strapless bra can affect the bra's performance. Avoid tops that pull your bust from the bra's position. Fitted or contoured garments reinforce the bra, making it difficult for the undergarment to slip from its initial position.
