"Today, we've been talking about how to measure your bra size. Well most importantly, sometimes you need a strapless bra for a dress like this where you can't have your straps showing. Or, a strapless dress. So, let's talk about how to find a strapless. For a smaller cup size, you can do pretty well with a bandeau top. It's not my favorite, it doesn't give the best shape. But, if you're firm and it looks good then go for it. Otherwise, if you're bigger I suggest one with an under wire. And, make sure the band is snug. Because, you don't have straps anymore. So, you need the band to do all the supporting. Sometimes, you might end up with a ridge or a shape that you're not used to. And, that again has to do with the low cut of the bra and the lack of straps. If you don't like the look of any strapless you try, an alternative is to take your dress to a tailor and have them sew cups in it. Almost any tailor can do it, to just about any dress. Otherwise, try a specialty bra and see if that works any better."
