Strapless bra

How does a strapless bra work?

A strapless bra is designed to support your breasts without the help of shoulder straps. The secret is in the construction! The band around your body is often firmer and wider than in regular bras. This keeps them from sagging. Many models also have silicone strips on the inside that keep the bra in place. In addition, strapless bras often have firm cups and underwires for extra support. After all, they have to cushion the support of the shoulder straps.

How does a strapless bra stay in place?

The biggest problem with strapless bras is that they can sag. Fortunately, there are solutions to that! For starters, you do need to wear the right size. A strapless bra should be tighter around your chest than a regular bra. This is because the band provides all the support. Also look out for models with silicone strips, such as LingaDore's strapless underwire bras.

Another tip is to wear your strapless bra at the right height. Just below your shoulder blades. This will help it stay in place better. Having trouble finding the right fit?

How do you turn a bra into a strapless bra?

Many bras with removable straps can be easily transformed into a strapless bra. This is ideal if you are looking for a versatile bra that you can use for different outfits. Models like those from After Eden are equipped with removable straps. Often you can adjust the straps so that you can wear the bra not only strapless, but also as a halter bra. Make the straps longer and you can wear them crossed in the back.

If you already have a bra whose straps can be detached, it's definitely worth trying! Don't have a bra with removable straps yet? Then take a look at our collection. Here you will find several options. Don't just cut the straps off your bra. The chances of this leading to success are not so high.

Which strapless bra suits your figure?

No breast is the same and so not all bras will be equally functional on every woman. Our lingerie expert Monique wrote a blog about it,"Which bra fits me?". If you know a little more about your own breasts, you will be able to properly assess which type of strapless bra is suitable. The choice is diverse. For example, we have a beautiful bandeau bra without straps, but also a full cover, push up or a plunge bra without straps.

For women with smaller cups, balconette bras or push up bras without straps are an excellent choice. They create beautiful cleavage without feeling too heavy. For larger cup sizes, firm strapless bras with wider straps and firm underwires are a better choice. For example, those from After Eden D Cup & Up. This is because these strapless bras offer more support and ensure the bra stays in place.

How do you determine the right size strapless bra?

A good strapless bra should fit perfectly. Remember that it gets all its support from the band. Therefore, it is extra important to measure your size properly and measure your circumference accurately. The band should be tight without pinching. Also make sure that the cups fit your breasts properly, with no gaps or overflow. Not sure how to measure your bra size? Then read our blog"The importance of calculating the right bra size" where we help you step by step.

Strapless bra with or without underwire

A choice you have to make beforehand. The underwire is there for a reason, of course. It gives a strapless bra extra support. This makes it especially suitable for women with a larger cup size or if you want a subtle lifting effect. Do you have a smaller cup size or want a bra that feels softer? Then a strapless bra without underwire is a good choice. Both are a great bra for low-back dresses.

Best strapless bra for large sizes

For women with larger sizes, finding a large size strapless bra is sometimes a challenge. It is important to choose models with a wider band and firm underwires. Only then will you have the right support. This will keep your bra from sagging and allow you to move comfortably. Moreover, strapless bras in large sizes nowadays are also stylish! Think lace details or a push up effect for a beautiful cleavage.

Color and style make your perfect strapless bra

Strapless bras don't just come in different types. So do countless styles and colors. For an elegant look, naturally choose a black strapless bra that goes with everything. Do you have a light outfit? Then a white strapless bra might be a better choice. Do you want something more striking? Then try a red strapless bra for a bold and feminine look! From push up models to strapless bandeau bras. There will always be a strapless bra to match your outfit and personal style.
