We hear all the time that our clients aren't comfortable in a strapless bra. More often than not this apprehension isn't attributable to a specific characteristic of the strapless bra, but rather an overall sensation of, "this isn't working".
If you have a hard time wearing a strapless bra, give the longline bra a try. The longline bra is a decades old style that used to be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. All those sundresses of the fifties had such a pretty shape in large part due to the longline.
Widely available in strapless and/or convertible versions, a longline offers more support than a strapless bra because of the width of the back, and the boning down the torso; it is a substantial garment. A longline bra is not a basque or bustier because it stops above or at the belly button - your natural waist, while a basque comes down to the top of the hip. Also a longline bra doesn't have garter clips/suspenders.
The Goddess longline bra pictured at the top begins at 34 and goes up to FF, although since Goddess is a full figure brand, the cups can accomodate quite a bit of breast tissue. Wacoal's (I know some of you are die hard Wacoal fans) longline starts at 32 and goes up to DD.
Do you any of you wear a longline bra? If so, is it in lieu of a strapless bra?
