How to Wear a Bra With a Backless Dress

Backless dresses are sexy and extremely feminine. They also reveal quite a lot of skin, which can make choosing a bra quite a problem. Naturally, you don't want your bra to show when you're wearing a backless dress as it can mar the overall beauty of the dress. But fortunately there are a number of types of bras that can allow you to have the support you need while still being able to wear a stylish backless gown.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Backless bra
• Sheer straps
• Low-back bra
• Bra cups

1. Wear a bra with transparent straps. Bras with sheer or transparent straps are just as supportive as regular bras, but the straps are barely visible, allowing them to be worn comfortably with a backless dress.

2. 
    

   Wear a bra with a very low back strap. This type of bra was created specifically for backless dresses or dresses that have a very low back. The straps wind around the lower part of the waist, exposing the back but providing the lift and support of a regular bra.

3. Sew bra cups onto the inside front of your backless dress. Choose a supportive bra that you don't mind altering. Cut off the straps until only the bra cups are left, then sew the cups onto the inner lining of the dress. When you put on the dress, the support that you normally get from a bra will already be there as a natural part of your dress.

4. 
    

   Wear a backless bra. This is a new type of bra also created specifically to be worn with backless dresses. This bra can be worn with a dress with a very low-cut back because the straps only go slightly around the shoulders, leaving the back completely exposed.

5. 
    

   Wear bra cups that adhere naturally to your breasts. These are backless bra cups that are made of a material that molds and sticks to the skin, providing support and lift without falling off.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure to have the bra cups sewn into the dress by a professional, as mentioned in Step 3, to ensure that they fit well.
