Strapless Bras

So, I got a question about what strapless bra I wear. I have a bunch of them from buying, trying to find the perfect one, not unlike others. When it comes to strapless bras, you really have to go through trial and error, regardless of what size breasts you have.

I have 2 main bras that I wear.

The first one is what I wear if the dress or shirt has a sweetheart neckline or if I want cleavage. I like that it has a molded cup and underwire because it keeps me from looking droopy. It also doesn't have any padding which is great because most of the ones that I see have it and I don't want any extra in there! It's really good at separating since it's got that inch or two if fabric in between...keeps you from having a uni-boob.

The other is probably my favorite because it's a minimizer. I've always had pretty big boobs and it's not always what I want to showcase! So this bra is kind of like an ace bandage made of lace :) I like that it's really tight...I actually wish I'd bought it in a size smaller...like the number, not the letter. It's good because it's got a rubbery material on the inside at the top to make sure it doesn't slide down. It also has an underwire and the space that eliminates uni-boob. I wear this bra when the shirt or dress is loose fitting and has a straight horizontal neckline.

Current Obsession!!

I LOVE LACE BRAS!!

I've been obsessed with lace bras since I bought my first true lace bra two summers ago. Sure, I've had bras with lace on them but these bras are much much more than that. These bras use the elasticity of lace to add support, comfort, versatility and style that regular bras just don't have. I have them in every color (floral, black, nude, pink, blue), in every cup style (demi, full, push up, t-shirt), in every strap style (racerback, strapless, classic, halter). I can't get enough of them and I wear them just about every day.

I can't say much more than that!

1. This is from the Victoria's Secret Emma Collection. It's great for flowy floral tanks in the summer.

2. This Emma is great because the straps never show on my racerback tanks.

3. This racerback Emma is good for light colored tanks so that the straps blend. I also wear it with blu and purple loose fitting T's and tanks.

4. This Cosabella removable halter is an amazing push up! Choose your top wisely because you'll definitely gain a cup size with this bra.

5. This Cosabella bra is the most comfortable of them all. It's my goto t-shirt bra but I also layer it with other bras for extra support or under tanks when I want the pretty lace to show.
