Thanks, Kina. You know I have been trying that general idea with my great loop set (the halter really is a nice part of the bra design on those), without much luck.

The problem seems to be that the racer back strap needs to attach to two points (haltar and bra band) where two pieces are already coming together, so its like creating 2 3-way intersections. If I attach the racer back strap to one or the other piece of the overlapping bra bands, it pulls those two pieces apart and keeps them from lying flush together, and also pulls the middle of the bra band up because the support is coming from one point rather than being distributed across two as you have with regular shoulder straps.

It also seems to makes the whole assemblage horribly difficult to get into and out of. With my great loop, I can't even try it on by myself as I try to configure the racer back.

Am I making it all too complicated?
