Show off your beautiful backside!
By Aly Walansky — Written on Apr 17, 2020
It's happened to all of us: we find the perfect dress for that party. It's sexy and backless, and then we realize we don't have the right bra to wear!
Of course, we can just not wear a bra at all, but that's not always an option in all settings or for all bodies. In this situation you can turn to finding a bra that works with a backless dress.
Luckily, there are lots of options! There are bras that are completely backless and stick-on, convertible bras that can be worn with or without straps, those with straps that fall lower on your back, and clear straps. We could go on and on, but here are some of the best bras and bralettes for backless dresses.

Wide adhesive on the sides ensures a secure fit. Underwire keeps the bust lifted. Perfect to hide under backless dresses and still get great lift, support, and shape.
