Often underestimated play a very important role in matching not only the bra and bodysuit to the figure, but also the styling. Bra straps are extras that are included in the lingerie set. The fact that they can be adjusted means that they provide even better support for the bust. Depending on their length, they have different purposes, so that the bodysuit can be worn under a dress with an open back, maintaining complete discretion. Strap sets are now available in the Bouduar shop, creating even more possibilities for creating feminine styles.  

Straps available in several lengths and colours 

Bra straps are what allow the bust to look beautiful in even the most difficult styling, if they are properly matched to both the lingerie and the dress or blouse, of course. They come in several variants, differing above all in length and thus in purpose:

  • Long underwear straps - They are worn on the shoulders and have a stabilising function. They connect the front to the back of the bra. They can also be worn around the neck if, for example, the back of the top of a dress remains uncovered.
  • Medium back straps - They are used for open-back bodysuits. They have a supportive function especially for women with medium to large breasts. They are fastened at the bottom of the back straight or crosswise. 
  • Short straps back - Like the mediums, they are also used with open-back bodices. Their function is to connect the base of the bra to the back. They are a good choice for women with small to medium-sized busts.
  • Connection to the neckline - the shortest „straps”, which connect the front of the bodice cups dedicated to styling with large necklines. In this way, the lingerie remains invisible, but the bust is properly emphasised

Straps that stand out and are not colour-matched to the lingerie and styling do not look good. Being able to replace them gives you far more freedom to create the perfect fashion ensemble. In addition, Bouduar straps are available in three colours - beige to match the skin tone, discreet transparent and black to match darker styles. 

Practical lingerie bra strap sets

Body Bouduar are created with the unique characteristics of difficult styles with deep front and back necklines. Only perfectly fitting lingerie makes a dress that reveals the back look truly striking.

It is not only short, medium and long straps, but also a connector and push-up inserts with a cotton pouch. So you are free to adapt the lingerie to your bust size and specific styling. If necessary, you can buy additional straps if you lose them or if you need a different colour. You can buy bra straps in practical sets or individually, and we will be happy to help you.
