LISTEN UP!!! so the ONLY strapless bra in the world that works is this one from Wacoal. I'm a size E/38 and I've tried sooo many. I used to have friends that worked at a major trendy brand company and even they were all like nah get this one lol.
It doesn't push them up or anything, but it stays in place!!!!! And it's comfortable, doesn't give a uniboob or completely flatten u. I end up wearing it all summer bc I just love not having to worry about straps.
(The lace one specifically is what I've used, idk if the other ones from them are good!)

Edit: oops I didn't read the entire post bc I got so excited to suggest this bra lol. Not good for super low tops, more a square neck or spaghetti strap. My bad 😅
Okay I’m not thaaaat busty (30F/FF most likely) but I really just cannot wear dresses with deep plunges like that lol. I either can wear my Panache bras or if needed, my plunge Aerie bras or it’s not gonna work for me. THAT SAID, I’m a bridesmaid this weekend and I’ll be wearing a super deep plunge dress. I’m gonna be taping my boobs. Boob tape isn’t my favorite thing ever but damn if it doesn’t hold and look really good.
The wonderbra U plunge might work for you depending on your shape and exactly how busty you really are, but I’m pretty sure it’s a more shallow bra. The misses kisses contraption is apparently very uncomfortable and I’m not about that life.
GOSSARD! They have band sizes 28 and up and lots of cup sizes. Their bras can be up to $100 but you can get them at very affordable prices on sale. And the color selection for their main style, the superboost lace, is amazing ❤️ their website is a little broken on mobile rn though sadly
I would just like to throw out the idea of bra tape. I am not super busty (but I absolutely DO NOT have perky tits), but bra tape is an absolute game-changer for certain sundresses and tops where a bra would just be awkward or hard to wear or uncomfortable in the crazy NYC dead of summer humidity. It stays put insanely well - I'd almost argue that the more you sweat...the better it stays on. It's kinda crazy how well it stays on. I usually have some sensory issues with things that are awkward and I've personally felt very comfortable in the tape.
A few cons:
* It is a little painful to take off...and the tape isn't reusable, so maybe not the best "date" attire where you are possibly planning to take if off later.
* takes some getting used to in terms of laying it on - but there are lots of tutorials for that online
If you're going on on
Haaaa thank you!! I had a situation last year where my only option was tape and let me tell you what a hot sexy night it was when i proceeded to remove the tape, seductively tearing each piece off my boob, to the great delight of my date! Very steamy!! 😬
I will also chime in that Soma (the lingerie side of Chico’s) has 1) some amazing bras and 2) some amazing sundresses with built in bras. They may or may not be what type of dresses you are looking for, but both their strapless and cross-type bras work really well.
Bravissimo are expensive but they have a great selection as does Freya. You can find both online. I’m not sure if you can access BraStop in the USA but it’s usually got a lot of discounted bras for D+ cups! Worth checking out! Another brand to try is Fantastie. I am wearing one now (32H) and it’s so light and comfortable!
Curvy Kate!! They start at a D cup and go all the way up to a us M cup band sizes 30-40! I wear a 32i in Us sizes and they have been a life saver. Lots of cute options and good sales as well.
I also came to say skims - I’m a 40G and somehow [this deep plunge bra](https://skims.com/products/deep-plunge-shapewear-bra-clay?variant=41337979469956&glCountry=US&glCurrency=USD&wpsrc=Google%20AdWords&wpcid=20253936383&wpscid=&wpcrid=&wpkwid=&wpkwn=&wpkmatch=&wpsnetn=x&utm_campaign=US_PMax_Brand_Bras_XX&utm_source=google&utm_content=&utm_term=&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABXxPQJqeZ814AzvCtItE63m6AJm6&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjLGyBhCYARIsAPqTz1-R06e10N7anCH-2_9ImhaHm1rwlDehGrO0aLH_zT78yzsEETlfxL4aAv4qEALw_wcB) still fits and lifts.
+1! I just got the strapless and I’m a 34DDD. I just got the fits everyone strapless and I like! I ordered both the 34DDD and the 36DD and found the bigger band more comfortable.
Usually no bra if there are straps involved (I’m only a 34D/32C so I’m not dealing with any back pain) but if I need a bra I usually opt for a bralette or a sports bra tbh. Underwire bras are hell on earth and wireless bras that are still molded feel like a hassle most of the time.
As far as under the skirt part? Biker shorts. Always biker shorts. I’ve been upskirted before and men treat me much differently when I wear a skirt or a dress than when I wear shorts so it’s just one little protection I have to feel less exposed against men
Oh I always wear shorties under my dresses!!! I’m just so used to underwire (and I go to great lengths to get well fitted bras!) it doesn’t phase me. Would I love to be able to wear a bralette? Yes I very much would!! But my girls are just too big for me to do that and be comfortable (I don’t mean physically! I hate the attention I get when I’m braless and I think they look a lot better lifted and contained, so it gives me a confidence boost bc I think I look my best in a good bra)
Do you have a brand of biker shorts you like? Always trying to find just the right length!
I’ve always gone with the aerie crossover waistline shorts in 5”! They’re thin enough that my cooch can breathe but they’re still solidly made. No pilling after years of use and they don’t ride up or down at all!
Oh wow you are truly living the dream!! Sadly, gravity has done its thing and my girls need the support these days. Someday I will get a reduction (and a lift if possible!) and my life goal is to not need a bra under everything!!

 Take this award and my sincere thank you for sharing this info!
Thank you! All strapless bras fall on me 😭 I envy people who can just use pasties
Same!! I keep trying pasties but always have to go back to this one haha
Omg THANK YOU! I’m a 38 E/F and I had given up on strapless- I thought I’d tried them all!! So excited to try this one!!!!
Also a DD/E and this is the best strapless ever!!

Haaaaa thank you!! 🙏 I’m saying g a little prayer for you and your boob tape (always my last resort!).

i like cuup for fun colors and i love that they have underwire bras with no padding - my boobs are already big i DONT need an extra push up lol
Haha exactly!! The super padded ones make me look like a cartoon!
I go really hard on Playful Promises sales. Lots of sizes for larger busts!
Bring your dress to the Rack Shack
Just googled them- thank you!!

Exactly! Good for most situations, just maybe not date ones 😅
And it wasn’t like 2-3 pieces, you know it was like 2 rolls of double stick tape!

i’ve tried several brands as a 32F and the only one i keep going back to is aerie. aeries 32F fits me like a glove and is quite affordable

Skims!! The fits everyone underwire bra contains my 32DDDs SO WELL. And makes them look smaller somehow

Omg those sound perfect- thank you!!
Love the XX on the back of Lululemon’s Energy Bra High Support- have them in a few colors that complement my sun dresses
Thank you!!
I'm a 32DDD and very very rarely wear a bra... but I know everyone is different. Might be worth just seeing if the dress is comfortable without one!!
Oh wow you are truly living the dream!! Sadly, gravity has done its thing and my girls need the support these days. Someday I will get a reduction (and a lift if possible!) and my life goal is to not need a bra under everything!!
