Want to wear a backless top? Whether you're less curvaceous up top or quite busty, no problem! Some women are lucky enough that they can go braless, but this article isn't for those women. There are bras for women of all sizes to wear with backless tops. There are all sorts of backless tops, from strapless tops that are slightly backless, to halter tops that are quite low in the back, to tops that are completely backless. There is a bra solution for each one, so no worries. You can wear any sexy top you want with the right bra!
Adhesive Backless Bras
There are several brands of backless, strapless bras that are basically just two cups connected in the front. The bras come with silicone cups, padded cups or just plain cups. In most cases, the bras are adhesive at the sides, above your ribcage, and silicone tape is attached to the bra. In some brands, the adhesive only works for a certain number of hours, so make sure you read the label before you buy something that will cause an embarrassing scene when the clock strikes midnight!
Strapless Backless Silicone Bra
The "No Bra" is simply two silicone cups with a clip in the middle that you put in place when you're getting dressed. Some of these bras with clips do not come with adhesive. According to one article posted, the bra seems to stay in place better without adhesive. But like the adhesive bras, the clip bra without the adhesive can also only be worn up to about eight hours at a time.
Bustfree Breast Cups
There is a brand of bra that is is similar to the No Bra, except that there is no adhesive. It is called Bustfree Breast Cups. It is made from a soft medical grade material, is wash and wear, comfortable and especially effective if wearing with tighter clothing, but it can be worn with a loose top or dress too. According to some of the responders on the Vogue forum posted, the adhesive on some of the backless strapless bras comes loose, but the Bustfree cups seem to stay in place.
Low-back bustier
The low-back bustier is a great option to wear with shirts or dresses with low or very backless cuts. It offers breast support, often with wires under the cups, and boning at the sides of the waist that is not visible with a backless or very low-back top. The closure is usually hook-and-eye very low at the back.
