Tighten the armholes of a shirt by stitching it up 1 inch along the seam. This makes the armhole smaller and hides your bra. Take the shirt to a seamstress if you do not like to sew. Place double-sided tape on the outside of the side bra and tape it to the inside of the shirt to keep it in place.

Why is my bra cutting into my armpit?
The most common reason your underwire is poking your armpit is because your bra doesn’t fit properly. When your bra fits properly, you shouldn’t really know that the underwire is even there. If your underwire is too small it will be digging into your breast tissue.
What do you wear under big armholes?
The part of the body that is exposed the most by a low cut armhole top is the side of the breast and body. That makes wearing a bandeau or tube top ideal! The option is that you can wear a bandeau bra, made of pretty lace or a stylish design, or you can use a tube top to cover up a basic bra.
Is it okay if your bra strap shows?
Bra straps need not be hidden, they should be showcased and shown love; but that doesn’t mean that every once in a while, you won’t come across someone who just won’t have it. They’ll point it out, say something rude, and walk away as if it were no big deal.

Gaping, where there is excess room between the cup and your breast, or it’s counterpart, spillage, where too small a cup causes breast tissue to overflow, are both equally liable to ruin your sleek look.
How can I wear a sleeveless dress without showing my armpits?
Choose a shrug for extra warmth that doesn’t add too much bulk. A shrug or a sweater wrap doesn’t hang down, making it a nice choice if you still want to show off the entire body of your sleeveless dress. Pick a shrug that is the same color as your dress to make it less noticeable that it’s a separate piece.
How do you make an armhole smaller with a sleeveless top?
Remove Sleeves
If you don’t want to take the time to tuck in your shirt sleeves, then fold down the bottom of the armhole so that it matches the rest of the top. If you have a strapless top, then another way to make an armhole on a sleeveless top smaller is to wear a bra underneath it.
How do you know if your bra cup is too big?
There’s a gap at the top of the cups.
When you look down at your bra do you notice space between your breasts and the cup? If so, it’s too big. If you aren’t able to see any gaps while standing up, try leaning over while looking into a mirror. If there is extra space in your cups it’s time for a new size.
Why won’t my bra lay flat?
The center of the bra doesn’t sit flat.
The band might be too big — try going down a band size and up a cup size. On the other hand, the cup might be too small — try going up a cup size, or even just half a cup size. The other possible reason is that your breast type is messing with the center gore.

How do you make a regular bra strapless?

How do you hide bra straps with spaghetti straps?
Spaghetti straps. Tank tops with thin straps tend to move around a lot.

Angle it downward so it’s less obvious, then put another bobby pin at the very back of your strap.

How are bras supposed to fit?
The cup should enclose the whole breast. The breasts should not spill out of the bra at the sides or in the middle. Double breasts must not form between the cups, nor should the breasts be pushed out towards the armpit. If they are, you have chosen a bra with a cup size that is too small: try a bigger size.

Proper cup fit is influenced by band size. As the band size changes, so does the cup size. For every band size you go down, you should go up one cup. If you are in a 34D with a good cup fit, but want to go down to a 32 band, you would go to a 32DD for a tighter band with the same cup fit.
