How to Change a Regular Bra to a Tank Top Bra

A simple shift of your bra straps transform a regular bra into a tank top bra.

Transforming a regular bra into a tank top bra involves stitching together the two back straps of the bra into one strap. Tank tops require a bra in which the straps meet at the center of your back so the bra can't be seen. Making your own tank top bra, which also is referred to as a T-strap bra, saves you money. Find an extra bra in your drawer that doesn't get as much wear as the others and convert it into a tank top bra.

Things You'll Need

• Bra
• Straight pins
• Needle and thread
• Assistant

Instructions

1. Put on the regular bra and extend the straps to their maximum length.

2. Have a family member or friend pin the straps in the back at the center point of each strap. Pin as far up as comfortably possible.

3. Take off the bra carefully. Stitch at that center point with a needle and thread so the straps are now joined together.

4. Remove the straight pins and put on the tank top bra. The bra straps will be joined in the back and they won't show under a tank top.
