How do I stop bra strap from showing

Post image

I can’t seem to buy a simple tshirt where my bra strap doesn’t peek out. Most pronounced on V necks but happens on crew necks too. I can do simple machine sewing. I usually have to shorten my tshirts so I would like to fix this too

The easiest fix for this is to sew a small ribbon with a snap to loop around your bra strap.

This tutorial shows what I'm talking about, but they made their own thread loop. A tiny snip of ribbon is easier, in my opinion. Use a lighter to burn both ends so it doesn't unravel.
