With so many different styles and trends, it is really difficult to choose the perfect lingerie for your outfit. From wedding gowns to evening gowns, the lingerie you choose can make or break your look. When wearing a strapless, bare-shoulder look, it can be ruined by the wrong lingerie. So, it is important to choose the strapless bras carefully.
Strapless bras with enough support will create an attractive silhouette and will ensure that you have a comfortable fit. Strapless bras without support, adhesive bras, and low-quality bras can be problematic if you have large breasts.
Cosabella’s luxury strapless bras for formal attire and special events is exactly what you need to wear under your wedding dress or evening gown. Our bras offer complete support, so you won’t have to worry about feeling unsupported.
How Much Support Do Strapless Bras Provide?
Strapless dresses and bras look great, but are they supportive enough for women with large cup sizes? The answer is yes! Only if you wear strapless lingerie especially designed to hold larger cups.
The right bra with removable straps will accentuate your curves, create an elegant silhouette, and ensure that your favorite dress fits comfortably underneath.
There are a variety of strapless styles available at Cosabella that offer an impeccable fit for women with all cup sizes. Our bandeau bra has a sturdy yet soft back band and is constructed in a way that provides maximum support. The comfortably contoured cups lift and center the breasts and create a cleavage that is irresistible. Available in standard and curvy sizing, for DD cups and up.
Designed with sturdy padded cups and adjustable straps, the Sicilia is an elegant strapless bra with removable straps to wear under strapless dresses. You can attach the straps if needed to wear the bra with other outfits.
With Strapless Bras, The Right Size Is Essential
The last thing you want to be sure you have on your wedding day is a bra that won’t slip off or fall down.
Most women purchase strapless bras sizing down so that this won’t occur. This results in an uncomfortable and unflattering appearance. You may have a lumpy or bumpy appearance as a result of wearing a bra that is too tight. Ensure that your breasts fill the cups completely, that the underwire does not poke you, and that the top cups do not dig into your shoulders.
You may be surprised to learn that most of a bra’s support is provided by the back band. Because of this, it is essential that you wear the correct size band, especially when wearing strapless clothing. Bands should fit snugly without feeling uncomfortable and lay flat against the back. The right size band for you is one that fits two fingers between the band and your back when the bra is on the middle hook. To find your correct band size, check out our size chart to learn how to measure yourself!
Tips for Selecting the Right Strapless Bra for Formal Wear
Strapless bras can be worn with either formal or casual clothing, but while choosing one, there are several dos and don’ts that should be considered. Here are some tips to help you choose the best one:
- Don’t take a size down. When you’re strapless, comfort is essential. It’s a sure-fire way to ruin your look to wear a bra that digs in and is clearly visible under your dress. It is important to choose the right size for your breasts in order to provide them with the best support and enhance your outfit.
- Make sure your bra is seamless. Dresses that stand out from the crowd deserve to be noticed. In order to achieve a smooth, comfortable, and invisible appearance, seamless lingerie is the best option. It is especially important if you are wearing a beautiful ball gown or wedding gown.
- Select with padded cups that are sturdy. Looking for a cleavage that is irresistible? Strapless bras with padded cups are a great choice. No matter what your cup size is, this style will give you full cleavage. Our lightly padded Evolution Strapless Bra is the perfect way to accentuate your figure while remaining seamless under formal dresses or attire.
- Avoid going braless. While wearing a backless or strapless dress, you may find it tempting to go braless. Nonetheless, it is important to wear proper lingerie to complement your figure, dress, and to provide the necessary support for your breasts.
- Make sure your color choice is right. Particularly when wearing a white dress, lingerie color is very important. When choosing lingerie, consider first choosing something that matches your skin tone. For example, if your skin has a yellow undertone, it is best to wear pink or red lingerie, whereas white, blue, and yellow would look best on people with brown, olive, or tan skin tones.
How do I choose the best strapless bra for wearing underneath an evening gown?
For women with fuller breasts, it is important to wear a bra with adequate support, especially if they are planning on dancing. All that movement can be uncomfortable or downright painful in the wrong bra. By boosting your confidence with a good bra, you instantly feel better on your big day.
Evening gowns come in all different styles, from sexy bodycon gowns and strapless dresses to elegant mermaid gowns and strapless gowns. Before you start your quest to find the right bra, it’s important to define your dress style first. For what type of dress do you usually go for? A strapless style? A bandeau style? A strappy style? A halter style? A one-shoulder style? A racer style? These are just a few of the different dress styles, and it’s important to know what you’re looking for before you start your quest.
Dresses with Strapless and Halter Necklines
Evening gowns often have strapless designs or thin straps or halter necklines. Wearing a strapless dress calls for a strapless bra. It is best to opt for a bandeau bra or multi-way bra that allows removal of the straps and provides excellent support.
Additionally, this style is great for dresses with thin straps (straps should never be visible). If you have large breasts, do not wear adhesive bras since they do not provide enough support. The Marni Strapless Bra is a stylish, smooth bra that provides excellent support for cup sizes up to 36D – a perfect substitute for adhesive bras.
Low-Cut Formal Dresses
Choosing a bra that will enhance your cleavage is imperative if your dress features a plunging neckline. If you are wearing a low-cut dress, you should select a bra with deep plunge cups and the appropriate fit and lift. The Evolution Curvy Bodysuit has one-piece construction to fit and flatter your curves with the low neckline for a deep plunge look.
Backless Dresses
In the case of an open-back dress, what bra to wear under it? Pick a bra that has lace all over its back, which is feminine. Our suggestion: The strapless Dolce Bandeau Bra with chevron lace and silky smooth cups.
Dresses with Fitted Silhouettes
Lace and embroidery on a bra are super feminine. However they don’t match well with fitted dresses that show every bump and lump. There are alternatives available, as smooth bras or T-shirt bras are made of ultra-thin material, which does not show through clothing and offers the same convenience. We suggest the Free-Cut Micro Bandeau Bra for a smooth finish, available in several neutral shades for every woman’s skin tone.
