The Scoop on Strapless Bras!

OMG, I have the cutest sundress, but I don’t have a strapless bra to wear! Help!

Finding the perfect strapless bra can be a drag, but with our best-ever tips you’ll find a fab fit – no matter what size you are!

First and foremost, get measured. Knowing your correct bra size is key.
Most department stores and bra-specialty shops (like Victoria’s Secret) will measure you (don’t worry, you can keep your cami on!).

What to look for:
You want to have a snug fit, but if it feels too tight or digs in, go up a size.

Look out for the gap between the cups and you boobs. Get rid of the gap by going down a cup size.

Do the bounce test. Jump up and down to make sure the girls stay in place. If it sticks like glue, that’s the bra for you!

Other Tips:

Take your dress with you. Try it on with your bra, so you’ll know how it looks under your dress, and if you need to make adjustments.

Color is important! The purple one may be totally cute, but if your dress is white…that’s not gonna work. Opt for a flesh tone (instead of white) to avoid a visible bra.

If you…
 
Want a Convertible Bra
If you’re looking for versatility then convertible bras are awesome. You can keep the straps or ditch them, and even switch them up for different style shirts and dresses.

Have a Bigger Bust
Look for underwire to help keep everything in place. Plus, some brands make hard to find sizes – love that!
 
 Have a Smaller Bust
  Smaller boobed babes are super lucky. You don't need tonsa support, but you still need something that's functional and won't show under that fab sundress.
