Wearing backless dresses and tops can look stunning, but let’s be honest—it’s not always easy to find the right bra for them! Whether you're going for a subtle look or full support, here are a few of my favorite tricks to make wearing backless styles a breeze.
Wearing No Bra
Choosing the right bra for a backless dress can be challenging! Backless dresses and tops are perfect for making a bold fashion statement, but they always raise the same question: what to wear underneath? Going without a bra might cross your mind, but if you need extra support, a backless bra is a must. Even for those with a smaller bust, nipple covers can be essential, especially with thin fabrics, to avoid any unwanted show-through.
What Types of Bras Work Best for Backless Styles?
Silicone Covers for Sheer Looks
For dresses made from thin, lightweight fabric, traditional bras—or even some sticky bras—can sometimes show through. If you’re just looking for a bit of coverage without added support, silicone nipple covers are a great choice. Simply peel the backing off, press each cover firmly in place, and you're all set. This way, you’ll have discreet coverage without worrying about a visible bra line.
For those who want a little extra lift and security, our Invisible Bra Adhesive Bra is perfect! It’s backless, strapless, and designed to stay in place without showing. Plus, it’s available in a range of skin tones to blend seamlessly and is reusable, so you can wear it again and again.
Opt for a Strapless Bra
If your backless dress doesn’t plunge too low, a strapless bra can be the perfect solution. It’s ideal for backless styles with unique straps or necklines that make concealing bra straps tricky. For dresses with mid-back coverage, a traditional strapless might work. But if you need even more discretion, try a strapless bra with clear side wings for a seamless look.Our "Add Two Cups" Strapless Push Up Bandeau Bra offers this versatility, giving you options with or without straps to suit different dress styles. For added security, position the cups over your bust and pull the clear wings to stick along your rib cage—keeping it in place and invisible. Pro tip: if you’re between sizes, consider sizing down for the best fit.
Strapless Bodice for Extra Support and Lift
For those looking for solid support and lift, a strapless bodice is a fantastic choice. Often referred to as a longline bra, this style offers traditional cups along with added support around the ribcage. Some strapless bodices even come with low-back designs, making them compatible with certain backless dresses.
Our Multiway Strap & Strapless Longline Bustier Bra is perfect for this purpose. Just wrap it around your torso and fasten the clasps along your lower back for a secure fit. This style is especially beneficial for those with larger busts, as it provides both support and flattering shaping.
Versatile Solutions with a Convertible Bra
A convertible bra is a versatile must-have for your wardrobe. If you’re not looking to buy a new bra for every backless dress, a convertible style is a smart option. You can adjust the straps to suit different dress styles—for instance, remove one strap and angle the other diagonally for a dress with a side cutout.
For halter-style dresses, simply take off one strap and pull the other behind your neck. Many convertible bras also come with clear straps, making them even more adaptable to tricky outfits. This style is especially helpful for larger busts, as the adjustable straps provide better support than a strapless bra.
Figuring out how to wear a bra with a backless dress can be simple with the right options. From adhesive bras to strapless and convertible styles, you can find the perfect fit to ensure you feel confident and supported. Ready to elevate your backless look?
