As Seen on TV: Strap Perfect; ha!

You and I have both seen the commercial on tv for the Strap Perfect concealer clip: the ultimate bra strap solution.
Yeah, if your a masochist.
It's in Walmart, Target and the local Fry's Marketplace; which is where I got mine on sale with a coupon. Still, I want my money back. ( can't find my receipt! darn it!)
It comes in three colors and the only value to this debacle is that it comes with a nice set of wardrobe tape. Which you can buy in the sewing section at JoAnn's, Target or Walmart. You use the tape, which is double sided to close the puckering gap between buttons on your button up shirts or anywere else you need to close fabric while wearing it.
Oy, where do I start with this bra strap solution thing? And just so you know, I'm not the only one who tried it and found it awkward, uncomfortable, and by far not delivering on the promise it makes in the commercial. (oy! It's like the Bare Escentuals mineral makeup of lingerie)
So in short, after all this kvetching, what I can say is: unless your bra has a single strap of elastic, most, especially if you regularly shop at Victoria Secrets, have a fabric front and elastic back to the strap. Meaning there is not alot of room to pull the straps to the center of your back.
That is unless they are completely made of elastic. Skip this one ladies and put the ten bucks towards a good racer back style bra for tank tops or invest in a really good strapless bra.
