Thnks you guys </p> <p>I actually have those bra strap snaps on some of my Indian clothes! So I am planning to take the sweater with me when I go to India and get the alteration done there. Hope it works out! </p> <p>Thanks MaryK for the links! and thanks for the advice Vildy, I will try with safety pins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-705014 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 02:50:04 +0000 KathyL 705014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten a lot of great advice about the bra straps. Just wanted to say that the blouse looks great on you, and I hope you can find a solution that allows you to keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-705007 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 02:41:03 +0000 Susie 705007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you wear a strapless bra? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704458 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:45:20 +0000 rae 704458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's SO pretty! I think the strap fix MaryK posted is a must-do. The sweater will be perfect once the straps stay hidden, IMO. I have those snaps on a couple dresses and they work really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704453 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:40:22 +0000 MNsara 704453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab on you! I like it with denim :-)</p> <p>I agree about the wide neck opening! I have to post my own K/R and that was a concern too. How is it that even though I feel I'm developing wide shoulders, this neckline exposes one bra strap or the other. </p> <p>I love the idea of adding those little snaps - like a sleevesless dress usually has. As long as it doesn't pull the outer edges toward the center and creat any gaps.</p> <p>Hope you can figure an easy fix and enjoy the sweater </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704375 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 17:15:39 +0000 Scarlet 704375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater! Please fix it with a snap strap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704346 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:32:14 +0000 Vicki 704346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely color, fit and style on you, Kirti, and I hope that either ramya's tank idea or the strap fix will help so you keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704276 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 15:02:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 704276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sweater looks fantastic on you Kirti - I'd love to see you try and fix the bra strap issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704274 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 14:58:48 +0000 Jem 704274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really cute on you. I hope you can fix the bra strap issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704163 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:17:05 +0000 Vildy 704163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because it looks knit or stretchy, try first to sew the lingerie tape with each end on the shoulder seam line itself. This may help it from looking bumpy and weird.</p> <p>ETA pin it with safety pins first and then try on to see if it's comfortable in that<br /> position or if you need to scoot it over one way or the other. Move around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704157 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:12:08 +0000 JR 704157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do the bra strap fix!

This is so lovely on you I would vote keep with that small alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704111 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:30:13 +0000 Anonymous 704111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's lovely. But I know what you mean about the straps issue. I have a top like that and I need to get some snap tape to hold my straps, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704110 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:30:13 +0000 MsMary 704110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater looks truly amazing on you! I second the idea of sewing a little strap with a snap into the shoulders -- I have a blouse with that feature and it totally solves the bra strap problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704095 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:02:14 +0000 ramya 704095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ya... Just like in the sari blouse... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704094 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:02:13 +0000 Janet 704094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's gorgeous on you! Glad it finally arrived. :-)</p> <p>I noticed the neckline is wide too, and I figure I will either wear a tank top underneath or use a bit of fashion tape to hold the wide part of the neckline to my bra strap. Easy fix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704093 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:00:00 +0000 April 704093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Ceit's idea, because when the straps are hidden, this looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704077 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:29:33 +0000 Anonymous 704077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can sew a little snap strap in the shoulders to hold your bra strap. I have done that before with a couple wider neck sweaters in the past. I like the colour on you Kirti! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704070 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:58:49 +0000 Deborah 704070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this on you Kirti. The color of the sweater is beautiful against your skin tone, but YOU need to love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704058 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:19:59 +0000 rute 704058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely but if you don't feel that's a 10, send it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704054 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:11:41 +0000 ramya 704054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bra strap are annoying ... but I love this sweater... </p> <p>Hmm I would wear a tank in with some bright pop of colour and wear it :)...<br /> I had done it with similar problem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/space-age-sweater-not-a-10#post-704051 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:08:40 +0000 Kirti 704051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received my Space Age sweater from Janet a couple of days ago, but I'm posting only now because I wanted to wear it around the house a bit and mull it over.</p> <p>What I love about it is the colour, it is so much fun and also the shape, slouchy yet not overly so. The only problem for me is the wide neckline. You can't see it in the picture, but the neckline keeps sliding to reveal my bra straps. And that is one thing that drives me absolutely batty. Even my husband noticed it and immediately said 'you'll never wear it' and it's true, because if an item has an annoying quirk, it usually becomes an orphan.</p> <p>So I'm thinking I should just return this and look out for a metallic item that is better suited to my body. What do you think? </p> <p>ETA: Does anyone have any suggestions re.the bra strap issue? The sweater is perfect otherwise.</p> <p>P.S. Sorry I didn't style this at all and please forgive the messy hair. It was late and I didn't bother to change </p>
