While there are perks to having large breasts, there are always limitations. Back pain and sagging aside, it can be really difficult to find a great strapless bra when you have large breasts. But finding the best strapless bras for large cup sizes doesn’t have to be as difficult as we make it sometimes.
You don’t have to give up on finding the right strapless bra for you. You just have to know where to look. That’s what we’re here for.
The first hack to finding a great strapless support bra for large breasts is to find the right bra based on your breast shape, breast weight, and the occasion or outfit you’re dressing for. Different boob shapes require different types of bras, but when it comes to strapless bras, you may think there are few that will actually fit you properly. We’re here to help.
Here are 8 different types of strapless bras to choose from:
-
Underwire strapless bras for large breasts: If you’re looking for a strapless bra that stays in place and provides extra support, look no further than an underwire strapless bra. Our customers love the Red Carpet Strapless Bra by Wacoal, which goes up to size 44I.
-
Longline strapless bra for large breasts: If you’re the type who always asks “How do I keep my strapless bra from falling down?”, you may find that a longline bra is best for you. Longline bras are very much like corsets, but they are set sizes. Additionally, the band for a longline bra rarely reaches the waistline, even though it’s wider than most standard strapless bras. Longline strapless bras can offer cleavage and are great for evening wear as well as summer wear (like with tank tops and halters). The Soft Strapless Bra Top from BRABAR is an ultra-soft option that doubles as a strapless top.
-
Bandeau strapless bra for large breasts: Also known as tube bras, a bandeau sounds just like the name: It’s a band that goes around your bust. Bandeaus are often thought of as less supportive than a typical bra; However, there are plenty of bandeaus that also offer support. In fact, at Bare Necessities we carry many brands that have created bandeau bras specifically for larger breasts. The Halo Strapless Bra by Wacoal is a customer favorite, boding beautiful floral lace and seamless semi-sheer cups.
-
Corsets for large breasts: One of the best strapless bras for D-cups and larger may not be a bra at all. Corsets make great strapless bras, especially for those looking for more support and lift. If you’re looking for a strapless push-up bra, you may find that a corset is better for your needs. Corsets generally reach the waistline, offering more support and less movement, especially when strapless. They are great for everyday wear, but they are mostly used for evening wear or formal wear. Check out one of our favorites, the Juliette Strapless Corset by Dominique.
-
Plunge strapless bra for large breasts: If you have the most gorgeous plunge neckline dress, but you struggle to find the right bra to support your chest, a great plunge strapless bra can help you out. If you have heavy cleavage, you’ll be happy to find that plunge strapless bras also offer separation, as the cups are singular, giving you more space between your breasts. We love the Feathers Strapless Plunge Bra from Natori.
-
Wireless strapless bra for large breasts: If it’s hard to believe that a wireless bra will support your girls, you are in for a treat. There are several strapless options for large-busted women without the pesky underwire. Customers love the ultra-comfy Future Foundations Wire-Free Strapless Bra by b.tempt'd by Wacoal.
-
Silicone strap bras (Hidden strap bras): A silicone strap bra is a standard bra that has a clear strap, so if you’re looking for a strapless bra that isn’t technically strapless, you will find that a silicone strap gives you the strapless look without sacrificing any support. You can purchase clear bra straps separately that will work with any convertible strapless bra.
-
Bustier for large breasts: If you’re looking for a low-back strapless option for your trickiest outifts, you may find that a bustier is right for you. As a matter of fact, those with large boobs tend to look for supportive bustiers for their evening wear or formal occasions. This is because they tend to give a lot of support and stay in place better over long periods of wear. We love the V-Wire Strapless Bustier by Valerie, perfect for achieving a sleek silhouette with your low-back dresses and tops. With a great bustier, you’ll find that you do less “adjusting” throughout the day to keep your girls in place.
