Hi, I'm Erin and I'm a fashion stylist. A very sexy look for women is the backless dress. But, you may not be sure what type of bra to wear. No worries, I've got you covered. Our model Brittany is wearing a beautiful BCBG dress that has a keyhole back. Take a look at that. Now imagine if her bra was showing, the whole effect of this dramatic back would be ruined. There is an easy solution for any backless dress. It's called a new bra ultra life. It's basically a bra that has no back clasps or fasteners. It literally sticks to you and the cups end right about here on your sides. Even with no back hooks or straps, this bra lifts and supports. It even gives you an extra cup size believe it or not. The bra is reusable, you can expect to wear it up to 50 times. This one is from Nordstrom, but you can find this type of bra at pretty much any major department store. Another option for smaller chested women like A or B cups are breast or gel pedals. This also stick-on, but don't provide the same amount of coverage and support as the new bra. A third option is take the straps off one of your convertible bras, attach them to the back hooks of your bra then wrap the straps down around your waist. It'll give you some coverage and support but it may not be the most comfortable option.
