Option 1: Wear a bra with straps that match your strapless dress. Yay or nay?
 |
| My thoughts: Meh. Until she moved closer, I wasn’t sure if the straps were part of her bra or her dress. I can see why she went this route. It was Sunday morning, and she was trying to combine comfort with cute. By the way, her bra is probably super comfortable, but it’s time to replace it. Her apex is practically at her elbows. |
Option 2: Wear a strapless bra.
 |
| My thoughts: Sigh. A strapless bra is perfect here, but it probably means sacrificing comfort. The next time I wear a strapless, I’m going to try a Pambra’s bra liner to see if that makes a difference. Unfortunately, that may be a while. Does anyone out there plan to wear a strapless soon and want to try this for me? Contact me if so! |
Option 3: What else are you doing this summer?
Maybe I'm weird, but I just wear a regular supportive bra. If it shows, meh. If I'm at work I'm always wearing a sweater anyway, so it's not a huge deal.
34 G here, btw. 🙂
I'm wearing a strapless bra from Ewa Michalak. It is comfortable and supporting. And it's functioning so great, that Ewa was able to minimize the "surface" of the Cups, so her strapless it's also a plunge and a half-cup 🙂 I can wear it all day, and it's still very comfortable.
I recently got a strappy dress as a hand-me-down. The bust only fits with 1 bra. Fortunately, the dress is navy blue and the bra is black, so it doesn't stand out too much.
I have one of the Panache cami tops with the built in underwire and wear it a lot. Especially in our 100+ degree weather. It's great for layering, too. I only have black but would like to get the white as well. Otherwise, I try to get close to the same color as the tank. I don't do strapless dresses or tops unless I'm getting dressed up.
I like the Freya Deco strapless. Normally I wear a 32H in freya, but the 34G gave me more comfort, yet still plenty of lift.
Jaimee, I like your attitude although I have a hard time replicating it. If the dress has no straps, I have to go w/ a strapless. If it has tiny straps, I'm okay w/ a regular bra that also has delicate-looking straps.
Joanna, I've heard so many good things about Ewa Michalak on forums and blogs recently. Thanks for the recommendation.
C.E., I have the Panache cami in white, black and pink and love them. Surprisingly, it's the pink I've worn the most this summer, and that was the one I almost didn't purchase.
Feminineseductress, the Freya Deco is on my list to try as well.
I used to have one bra that was black with really pretty, delicate lacy straps. I wore that one with a midnight blue dress that I had, and no one was none the wiser. Also, I discreetly pinned my bra to the dress so it stayed where it was supposed to be as well… ;D
