bra for low back dress

If you are wearing a backless dress or a low back top, you may be tempted to go braless in order to avoid straps sticking out. But not everyone can get away with not wearing a bra.

That doesn’t mean you need to change your wardrobe, though! There are endless low-back bra options, from totally backless and stick-on, to convertible bras that you can add a strap to, or clear straps, and so much more.

So, go braless if you want. But if that's not an option, don't give up on your favorite new dress. Because you have lots of choices for a bra for a low back dress you can be wearing.
