How to Shorten Straps PROPERLY! ✂️ DIY make spaghetti straps shorter on a dress or top like a pro

[@KasSommers]

As a shorty, I always have to alter straps and hems. Thanks for showing me how to do it properly. I'd like to see a nice way to shorten the straps on a sleeveless top like a tank top. Cheers.

Fabulous! Thank you!! I have very little experience sewing but following you brief step by step tutorial saved a myself and a bunch of my daughter’s friends money in alterations this year for prom dresses.

Bathing suit liner?

Thank you! How would I go about elongating the straps

[@SlewLiving]

The same technique can be applied but would require checking that there is excess strap for you to work with. Otherwise you would have to replace the entire strap with a longer one, also using the same technique!
