Strapless bras can be an absolute lifesaver when it comes to wearing backless or strapless tops and dresses. But, as Cinderella once discovered, finding the perfect fit can at times be a challenge. So here are some key factors to consider when searching for a show-stopping strapless bra…
1. Band Size Matters:
- Accurate Measurement: Ensure that you have a correct measurement of your band size as a well-fitting band is crucial for support.
- Consider Comfort: Opt for a band that feels snug but isn’t too tight. A comfortable band will prevent any slippage and discomfort.
2. Cup Size Is Key:
- Proper Fit: Make sure that the cups are full and don’t spill over the edges. A well-fitting cup will provide both lift and shape.
- Avoid Gaps: Look for a bra that doesn’t have gaps between the cups and your breasts. A gappy bra can be unsightly and uncomfortable.
3. Materials And Construction:
- Quality Fabrics: Choose a bra made from high-quality materials that will hold its shape and provide support.
- Reinforced Cups: Look for bras with reinforced cups to prevent sagging and ensure a lifted appearance.
- Silicone Grippers: Silicone grippers along the band and cups can help to keep the bra in place.
4. Style And Occasion:
- Push-Up or Minimiser: Consider your desired shape and choose a bra accordingly. Push-up bras can enhance cleavage, while minimiser bras can reduce the appearance of larger breasts.
- Occasion: Think about the occasion that you’ll be wearing the bra for. A strapless bra with intricate lace or embellishments might be suitable for a special event, while a more basic style might be better for everyday wear.
5. Try It On:
- Test The Fit: If possible, try on a strapless bra before purchasing in store or returning it online if it doesn’t fit. Make sure that it stays in place when you move around and doesn’t cause discomfort throughout your day.
- Adjust the Straps: Some strapless bras may have adjustable straps that can be used to customise the fit.
Boux Avenue Strapless Microfibre Multiway Bra
I may have quite possibly discovered the most versatile, supportive and stylish bra ever created for comfort in this Boux Avenue beauty with its contoured smooth finish and conveniently detachable straps. With a push-up padding, this bra is available in sizes A-DD in a plunge style for a boosted cleavage look. In sizes DD+ it features a balconette shape without the push up or padding.
Made from a soft microfibre material of 88% polyamide and 12% elastane, it has a beautifully minimalist and seamless finish which is undetectable beneath clothing and fits like a second skin. Its lining is made from 100% polyester with the secondary lining being 90% polyamide and 10% elastane for maximum comfort. I adore how the foam under band, under wiring and side boning provides both support and comfort for all day wear.
Having a large bust, the soft seal deep hook and eye fastening is a must for me, keeping everything perfectly in place no matter how active or long my day becomes. The fully adjustable and detachable straps allow for this bra to conveniently be mulit-use, as it can be worn as a regular, cross back or strapless design to suit every event and occasion. When did you last find a bra that had your back?
