question for the ladies

As your breasts grew (or grow) did you find that your bra straps were less prone to slipping off your shoulders? That seems to be happening to me, and it's a welcome development.

If your bra straps are falling it means your bra is poorly fit.
My bra fit when I had no boobs.

All depends on shoulder shape, ime. I have sloping shoulders, so no matter bra size or style, the straps can be slippy. Friends w/similar shoulder shape have the same issue (usually, it's costumers who've realized this bec. we have pattern fit problems in that area :).

A combo of larger breasts & straighter/higher shoulders (along w/well-fitted bra) will prob. lead to less slippage.

I'm in the same boat as Trystan; no matter how well-fitted my bra is, straps will slide off my tiny, sloping shoulders.

Having big shoulders doesn't help. Mine slope, probably because I still have relatively large lats.

Sloping shoulder problem here too, but getting professionally fitted for a bra helped out a lot.

Mine never did grow, so I'm afraid I can't help you...

It should help with the fit if you'll be closer to what manufacturers type as 'average'. Sloping shoulders might be a factor. Have you tried racer backs? Or the clips that create a racer back with your regular straps?
Having the straps start between your shoulderblades like that might improve the angle.
This is why bra shopping is such a BITCH. You need one constructed for your body. The angles have to match what you have /and/ what you want.

I have the opposite problem - nerve damage from straps digging in. The alternative is not breathing. *shrug* Be glad if you only have wardrobe malfunction straps. Showing straps is SMEXY, so I hear. ;)
