What to do about a bra when wearing a backless dress?

The best bras for a backless dress are low-back strapless bras, boob tape, an adhesive bra, and nipple covers. Many women also opt to skip a bra entirely.

Low-back strapless bras typically provide support by utilizing a corset anchor or bustier construction. This type of bra features a long, anchoring piece of fabric that wraps around the midsection and connects in the back. This feature provides a heavy amount of support to offset the bra’s low back construction.

Boob tape is an adhesive fabric tape that can be placed on the body to support your breasts. The best part about boob tape is that you get a ton of flexibility in terms of placement, shape, and level of support. The most common method for wearing boob tape is to place the tape slightly below the breast as an anchor. Then, lift the breast to its desired position, and drape the tape on top of the breast, securing it at the top near your collarbone. Make sure the tape is fairly taut for optimal support.

Self-adhesive bras, also known as stick on bras or sticky bras, are made with a tacky material that adheres to your breasts. These bras typically feature two sticky panels that cover each breast. Once they’re placed where you want them, you’ll hook them in the middle to activate supportive tension. Adhesive bras can be used multiple times, but typically lose their effectiveness after about ten wears.
