Bridesmaid dress with spaghetti straps

A spaghetti strap (also called noodle strap) is a very thin shoulder strap used in clothing, such as camisoles, crop tops, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns, so-named for its resemblance to the thin pasta strings called spaghetti.

Some institutions ban spaghetti-strap and other bare-shouldered garments on grounds of modesty.[1][2] Schools in Australia ban them for sun safety reasons.[citation needed]
