Detachable Bra Straps. Help!

These are EXACTLY what I have been looking for for my holidays, to wear with a multiway bra. It is a great bra, the best I can find for shape and support in a halterneck bra, but it is a cream lacy design and the straps look very much like underwear, whereas these look less so. (Strapless is a no-go for me!)

I don't particularly want to flash the straps, but they can tend to show under halter-necks and vest tops and I would like a few sets in different colours to wear with the same bra with different dresses and tops.
However this site is Australian and I don't particularly want to order from them, but can't find anything in the UK.
There are the see through straps, which I don't really like, but might have to do as they won't really be on show. The only other alternative is the chain/diamante type ones which are more expensive than I'm looking for.
Anyone seen any anywhere, please?

I can't believe the price of the chain ones. I have a set in the house that were a gift but have never been used. I was going to stick them on ebay, they seem to be much more lucrative than I gave them credit for.
Sorry I can't help you with where to buy straps but it may be an idea to go somewhere like primark, asda or new look and find their cheap multi-way bras and just buy the whole bra but just use the straps yourself. You can then sell the bra on ebay as nwt but without the straps. If it is a small cup size that you buy the person won't need the straps.
My only caution with this is having recently sold lots of bras after a clear out, the straps come in different widths so the skinny straps have a shorter metal bit to hook them on so wouldn't grip effectively in a bra that has wider straps and therefore wider slots.
ETA: have just looked on ebay and you can get diamante ones and metal ones and fabric ones with designs for less than £5. The cheapest on BIN was £3! Bargain and bang goes my plan to make a fortune selling the ones I have.If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0 -

That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that.
Thank you :A0 -

Bronnie, how did you get on with the bra straps and what did you end up doing. I have bought a lovely halterneck dress and would like a multi-way bra to wear with it but am unlikely to get one my size in the colour I want so am wondering how you have fared with your solution?If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0

Hi ali
Sorry, I wrote a long reply to this last night, which I thought I'd posted, but it obviously got lost in cyberspace!
I've acquired a set of bright turquoise straps and a set of black straps from DD's bras. Not 100% sure as they are quite narrow and the clip attachment bends a bit uinder the strain LOL. However I have nude straps from a very expensive (£30ish) Fantasie multiway I bought last yeear, but don't like and intend to sell on ebay after my hols. I think they will be quite versatile actually as they are quite plain and discrete.
I was looking at buying cheap bras on ebay for the straps, but have been a bit busy and that fell by the wayside and going on hols on Monday!
Was reading your dress post earlier and recommend you try on the Panache Confetti Multiway bra. I love the Confetti bras, they are balconette and really slim the sides of your bust. They are not padded unlike most, so there is no extra bulk, but the support and shaping is UNBELIEVABLE for such a pretty bra! I picked up the multiway brand new for about £12 inc P&P on ebay, but nI wear the normal type everyday now. The only drawback is they are lacy, so not good under smooth t shirts etc, but it is an amazing bra for big boobs that need support and shape and uplift. I 'think' it goes up to G cup.

Thanks Bronnie, that is a nice bra but the cup size isn't big enough for me. I have ordered the panache evie from lingeire heaven and will see how I go with that. I looked online for straps and there are some hong kong sellers that sell wide straps. I searched for wide purple bra straps and loads came up for a couple of £ each so will see if I need them or the the scaffolding in the bra is enough to contain my puppies!If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0

. Strapless is a no-go for me!
Like every lady with an ample top half, I used to think so until I discovered this product years ago! There should be plenty available in-store. The nude is particularly versatile; for £8 it revolutionalised my life...now I go strapless with confidence and style.
