Also the question is, how do I shorten my shoulder straps on my bra? Loosen a tight bra strap by holding the slide adjuster in one hand and pulling the back part of the strap away from the adjuster. The slide adjuster should move closer to the bra cup. The closer the adjuster is to the cup, the shorter and tighter the bra strap will become. Adjust the other strap.

How do I know if my bra band is too big?
The band should not be higher at the back than under the breasts. The breasts creep out under the cup. If the cup glides up when you stretch your arms so that the breasts start creeping out underneath, the band of the bra is too big.
