Turn a so-so bra into a great halter bra! It's far more comfortable than using a convertible bra, too. This works best with a triangle bra (shown below) or a demi bra.

Step 1: Gather materials

You will need:
- a bra you don't particularly like as it is
- scissors
- sewing needle
- thread

The bra you choose should ideally have triangle or demi cups and two rings on each strap. The second picture shows a bra with straps that won't work for this, while the third picture shows one that will work well.

This is great, I will be trying this asap. A lot of dance tops are halter style but with no built-in bra. This will give me lots more dance clothing options!

buts its for science!
lemonie in reply to canidaJun 20, 2007. 2:25 PM
I can't. I'm not asking for this to be modelled, but I don't know what it looks like when it's finished. L

Ah. The intro pic shows the finished product- I agree, it would be useful to see it again at the end. Hey, therealbenni? You might take a picture of the finished halter bra on a plain background that makes it easier to see the changes you've made, and post the final result at the end as well.

Good advice... You'll see I've updated the instructable with some new pictures now. Hopefully it's a bit clearer!

right I get it now... L

I put some new pictures up that should be a bit clearer, too...

"Sorry boys, I'm engaged." That made me laugh so hard lol! Very nice alteration. Hm. I can't stand those kind of bras, they are so painful to me x.x
