Plus Sized Strapless Bras

Why You Need a Strapless

Wardrobe constrictions are no fun for anyone. Who wants to be told they can't wear a certain style of top simply because their bra straps would show? No one. Plus sized strapless bras can come to the rescue. Whether you wear an A cup or a 40DDDD, there's an undergarment solution for you.

There's no need to worry about them falling down, rolling up, or not offering enough support anymore. With wider bands (sometimes five-row closures), padding and wire at the bottoms of the cups for uplifting and shaping, plus anti-slip technology, there's no excuse not to have a strapless in your lingerie wardrobe.

Convertible Options

Sometimes a strapless bra is not just a strapless bra. Plus sized strapless bras are no exception. You can find styles with removable straps, or straps that can be converted for different styles of shirts or dresses. Here are a few:

• The Fantasie of England: Cally Strapless Bra can convert from strapless to criss-cross and halter styles. It looks sexy, too, and is available in a size 30F. There's only one color available: black.

• Avenue is a store for women sized 14-32. Visit the site for a selection of bras: the 5-in-1 Solutions Bra, the 4-in-1 Solutions Bra, and the 4-in-1 Solutions Plunge Bra. They're $34 each.
  • The 5-in-1 Solutions Bra can be worn as a strapless, conventional two-strap bra, cross-back, halter and one-strap. It's only available in white right now, but you can get sizes from 38B to 46DD. It is the only one of the convertible bras on the Avenue Web site to allow for a strapless option.

Finding Plus Sized Strapless Bras

• The Dream Shameless Bra comes in one of the widest ranges of sizes on the market. From 32C to 40G, this bra really can make your wardrobe dreams come true. It comes with removable straps and is available in nude and black. $62 is a small price to pay.

• If you want something a little longer than the traditional bra but you still want to wear a strapless little number, try the Stephanie Bustier for $49. It only comes in white but it's available in sizes 32B to 42DD.

• The Ivory Rose Strapless Bra is available in White, Ivory, Nude, and Black for $50. There are convertible/removable straps (clear) and the sizes available range from 32B to 38DDDD. Bonus for those who don't want it but seem to not be able to find bras without it: There's no padding in this one.

• Just My Size has a Glamorise® Strapless Tube Bra available in white for only $13.50. The strap in the back is extra wide for additional comfort and functionality.

• Another Just My Size specialty is the Goddess® Lace & Smooth Strapless Underwire Bra. The site claims it's the perfect plus-sized strapless bra for a wedding dress. For only $28.99, you might as well get one in each color—white and black. This one will give your breasts shape while using lace at the top to look extra flirty and feminine. In addition, it promises to stay put hour after hour.

• Bra Experience has quite the selection of Goddess brand bras. They're available in sizes up to 48FF. The Bridal and Special Occasions section has a variety of strapless styles.

Never let the type of bra you'd need determine what kind of tops and dresses you can add to your wardrobe. If you really want to wear a strapless top, you can find a strapless bra that will shape your breasts beautifully and look flawless underneath your outfit of choice.
