I love racer backs, all my favorite tops and dresses have them. I find that if I situate my straps appropriately they barely show, but I wouldn’t care if they did. I do have a little clip thingy that hooks on the straps between the shoulder blades for fancier affairs at which visible straps might be a faux pas.

Back when I was younger/perter/leaner I would have foregone the underwear and worn these styles. Nowadays I’d limit it to gym wear or swimmers (racer back) or lingerie or black tie (spaghetti straps). I can’t deal with visible bra straps, and can’t be bothered with strapless bras for everyday wear 😣

So you’re releasing an all-sport action man jumpsuit @todd ? 🙂 I’ll make you one!
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Sewing with smooth/slippery fabrics in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I very much adhere to the “it’s only fabric” ethos.
All of the above advice is excellent but don’t frighten yourself by overthinking it.
In trying something new I figure all we have to lose is fabric costs (and Liesl’s shopping tips are fabulous) and our time. For me, it’s not like I’m turning down party invitations to stay home and sew of an…[Read more]

Hi Sarah,

I replied to your email but thought it might be helpful to post part of my reply here to help others with similar questions. I hope that’s alright!

Regarding your questions about fabric: it sort of depends on the style you’re sewing. Actually, a lot depends on the style/pattern you’ve chosen.

Robin replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

Liesl, would it be pretty simple to change the width of the spaghetti strap? Feels like an easy modification.

Racer backs are great for working out. Easy to wear with a sports bra.

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.
Nicole replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.
Nicole replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.

I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.

Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.
Liesl Gibson started the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

Ok, I need your input again. What are your feelings about spaghetti straps. For yourself, I mean. Will you wear them? And what about shirts with racer backs? Too hard to wear with a bra?
Sarvi replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Swim trunks that are not board shorts (he has a pair that are a bit more tailored which he loves) and a slim button-up shirt, please!

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Thanks for reminding me of Ashley’s fabric sourcing tips. A pair of cargo shorts in that kind of nylon blend is exactly what my husband would want me to sew for him (getting my threads crossed)
