Miss Penny is a banty, so her straps are not very long. You want the bra to be rather snug. After fastening the body straps I can fit a finger underneath it. Same goes for the neck straps. As I end up tying them the actual length varies. Again, I can usually fit a finger underneath-but you want...
Thank you; I hope it helps your girlie. You can always tweak things a bit. I pinch the padded part sometimes to the straps to give more support. I think that Henny Penny will always need a bra of some kind. I periodically give her a break from it but her crop remains stretched out. I did try to...

The second set of neck straps get...
