How To Sew Lingerie Clasps Or Strap Holders To Keep Undergarments Under Garments

For those of you who prefer to keep your "undergarments" under your garments, here is a little sewing tip on how to sew "lingerie clasps" or "strap holders" to keep your bra straps in the proper place.

Make these discreet clasps from lining fabric or even rayon hem tape or ribbon.

They really help keep bra straps and lingerie from showing and also act as an anchor to keep wide necklines from falling away from the body and exposing everything from neck to waist every time you lean over.

These clasps can be attached to the inside at the shoulders and at the widest point of some necklines to control the dress and straps.

Here is how to make lingerie clasps.

From lining fabric:

1. For each clasp, cut a straight strip of fabric 1-3/4" long and 3/4" wide.

2. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, right sides together.

3. Stitch 1/4" from the fold.

4. Turn strip right side out and press with seam along one edge.

5. Turn in raw edges at the ends and slip stitch.

You can also use 1/2" wide ribbon or seam tape to make the clasps. Just cut 1-3/4" long; fold the width in half to 1/4" and top stitch.

Put on the dress or top over the lingerie you intend to wear with it and mark with pins where you want the clasps to be attached.

Clasps always open toward the neck.

Sew the end of the clasp farthest from the neck to the shoulder seam. Sew half of a small snap to the free end.

Sew the other half of the snap to the shoulder seam beneath the end of the clasp to line up with the snap already on the clasp.

For a wide neck, sew an additional set of clasps inside the neck in the same way. Attach the clasps to the facing or lining of the garment.
