How to Put on a Long Line Bra
A long-line bra shapes the torso and waist in front, while providing bust support for backless dresses. Some long-line bras offer a strapless option for revealing evening wear or wedding gowns. For best fit and comfort, purchase your long-line bra using your usual bra size or have a specialty store associate perform a bra fitting if you are not sure what size you need. While properly wearing a long-line bra, your back and bust should feel supported without strain or discomfort. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
If your lower tummy bulges out a bit from underneath the torso-slimming long-line bra, try wearing a waist-shaping undergarment on your bottom half that comes up high enough to meet the bra. Put on the bottom undergarment first.
An ill-fitting bra can cause discomfort and poor posture. If your bra feels uncomfortable over time or visibly sags or causes the "quad-boob" effect, see a professional for a fitting.
