The Wonders of Strapless Bras
You can wear those halters, tanks, tube tops and strapless dresses with confidence and support when you get the right fit.
Strapless bras are one of the most uncomfortable bras you’ll ever wear because it is more likely to pop out and could make you die of embarrassment if you don’t get the right fit.
One wrong action in an wrong-fitting strapless–especially one with built-in padding–and you could have breasts down on your stomach. First it slides down an inch or so, making you uncomfortable. You can’t adjust in public at the moment, so you squeeze your arms to your sides and hope no one can see. Then, the bra’s around your waist, leaving your assets uncovered and adding a few extra lumps to your midsection.
Strapless bras can also be very versatile bras. If you buy a convertible bra, you can have strapless, two-straps, one strap, halter or criss-cross. A girl needs options! The straps are easily removable. You can even buy cute straps at department stores and lingerie boutiques.
How to Find Your Fit
You can measure yourself at home, but to avoid a lot of the common bra sizing mistakes it’s usually better to go to a store and have someone else measure you.
A strapless bra should comfort to your body just as well as any other bra. You just don’t have to worry about straps digging in. You’ll want it snug, but not tight, around your ribcage. You won’t want a gap between the cup and your breast. If you have that, you’ll need to go down a cup size.
All bras are not created equal so it is preferred not to buy bras online. It’s best to go to the store and find out what you like first. Go into the dressing room. Put it on. Try your shirt on over it to see how it looks. Now move around a lot. Raise your hands over your head, stretch and dance around like you feel giddy about bra-shopping. If the bra doesn’t budge, you’ve found your match.
