Q. I am a 34D and I am wearing a dress with a very low back to an event in a few weeks. I don’t feel comfortable going without a bra, but I don’t want to have the band showing. What are my bra options?
A. Perhaps the most feared of the formal looks are backless and very low back dresses as they make wearing a bra next to impossible. You can buy low back bra convertor straps but I find these have a tendency to ride up over the course of an evening so if you want a guarantee ‘no show’, my favourite is the ‘Body Sculpting Backless Strapless Bra’ from Fashion Forms, available from lingerie retailers throughout the UK. It gives great support and is barely detectable under clothing. The 100% silicone grips your skin for maximum support and you can wear it without the wings for daring backless strapless fashion.
