Strapless bras that stay up on a large bust
In an everyday bra, your straps do some of the lifting. Take them away and the band and underwire do it all, which is why strapless bras built for a smaller cup slide down on a fuller bust. Every strapless bra at Brava starts at D cup and is made for the job: a firm band with silicone grip, a wire that anchors each cup, and cups tall enough to hold you in.
Is there a strapless bra that actually stays up?
Yes, when the band is firm enough. Try it on the loosest hook with the straps off; the band should feel genuinely snug and sit level all the way round. If it doesn't, go down a band size and up a cup, your sister size, which keeps the same cup volume on a firmer band.
Which strapless style?
Moulded, seamless styles like Panache 365, Fantasie Smoothing and Elomi Smooth sit smooth under fitted dresses. Panache Faith is a plunge strapless for lower necklines, PrimaDonna Figuras and Parfait Elissa add padding for extra shape, and longline styles spread the support over a deeper band for formal wear. Most come with removable straps, and multiway bras switch between strapless, halter and cross-back. For weddings, see bridal bras.
