If you've never worn a strapless bra it's recommended to always try them on before you buy, it's normal to ask how should a strapless bra fit? Strapless bras are designed to be worn without straps when you want to wear that special dress or top.

First you find that very special dress, and then you know how to choose a strapless bra that truly complements it. The lingerie industry's secret is the construction of a more structured back band, inner tensor bands, plastic side stays, and silicone grippers that warm to the skin to prevent slipping.
