Bandeau and Strapless Bras

The functions of a strapless bra are a necessity when stepping out in an evening gown or a strapless blouse. Your elegant collarbone and neck area should be displayed with confidence, rather than fear of unwanted bra straps or material making an unwanted appearance.

Strapless Bras for Every Fashion

First invented in 1913, strapless bras keep the bust supported while sporting a minimal design to achieve as much lingerie invisibility as possible. Strapless bras come in many different varieties but share key features. For smaller busted women, the bra's goal is to keep her bust from moving while walking or dancing. The main bra band may therefore be on the smaller side since there's no need for so much support. Women with a larger bust will want a strapless bra with a wider band that can be adjusted for tightness. Sturdy underwire is a requirement along with padded cups to keep the bust from sagging or becoming painful.

The styles of bandeau bras are just as varied as other bras. A contoured strapless bra is also known as a moulded bra, and has seamless cups that are formed based on cup sizes. A completely strapless bandeau bra without any eyelets is reinforced with elastic at the top and bottom of the lingerie. This gives it the look and feel of a sports bra. When clothing, especially tank tops, come with a built in bra, this type of light-weight bandeau bra offers extra security and peace of mind.

Show Off Your Outfit Without Showing Your Bra with Strapless Bras

A strapless push-up bra will prevent you from losing visible cleavage caused by a lack of bra straps. Demi-cup bras reveals half to three-fourths of each breast and lifts and separates them. They're ideal for low-cut strapless clothing. For strapless dresses with a centered, V-shaped neckline, a plunge bandeau bra will keep your outfit looking 100% sweetheart.

Women's clothing with very thin shoestring straps can be a problem. The silhouette created by a strapless bra and straps can appear unbalanced. This is why clear bra straps often accompany convertible bras. These will give you the same look you'd get from a demi or push-up bra except with nearly invisible bra straps. Women wearing backless dresses that wouldn't benefit from even the lowest of bra bands can still find support through an adhesive bandeau bra. These are similar to a bandeau bra without the back band. Instead, a soft adhesive is applied to tabs on the side of each cup to keep the bra in place.
