Straps

Mary adjusted the straps of her dress.

Tom hung inside a large teepee three feet off the ground, suspended by straps inserted through the flesh on his back.

She has this pretty lace nightgown with straps.

If we allow Mary to wear spaghetti straps to the dance, it will set a precedent for the rest of her teenage years.

One of my straps broke.

Russia sent soldiers who took up important positions on the Ukrainian Crimean peninsula. These silent young people wear green uniforms without shoulder straps.

In the late 1980s and in the 1990s, a couple of my favourite singers were Enya and Tracy Chapman. With headphones and a disc player, I listened to their music at my software workplace, an old brick building, the windows showing the harbour and railroad tracks that went beside the quaint Gastown district of the city of Vancouver, BC. I wore then a heavy dark-blue winter jacket with shoulder straps; it made me look like a student soldier from the 19th century.

This bra has shoulder straps.

How do you loosen the straps on a backpack?
