That's really pretty. I have a couple that are too short, but I think they're WAY too short. Anyway great job.

Thank you, everyone. I just used crochet kitchen cotton. I have a blue tank just like it I might do the same thing on. I have a hard time finding tank tops that don't show my bra straps so I really hate to part with them.

I agree the tanks you can get nowadays have more like lingerie straps. I'd like to see your next one! I think your idea is really clever.

Serena · MANIA MOD

I, too, like your idea. And I agree about the outer garments needing to cover the under ones.

I don't know why people don't say anymore when someone's
"slip is showing".

I use safety pins to keep those straps in place. Nice garments used to come with very thin cords with snap closures, for keeping undergarment straps in place.

I wash some things by hand and roll them in a towel, sometimes using a second towel later, then, lay them on a rack to dry.

They hold up better that way.

I usually wear short sleeves rather than sleeveless now. I think it looks nicer as one gets a bit older, and it makes the undergarment challenge easier.
