WHAT BRA TO WEAR WITH A BACKLESS DRESS

When it comes to wearing a backless dress - whether for a formal occasion, a night out, or a casual summer day - finding the right bra can be a challenge. But don't worry! Here at Boux Avenue we have a range of bra accessories and solutions that will keep you feeling comfortable, confident, and supported… no matter the occasion. So, if you've ever wondered what bra to wear with a backless dress, keep on reading!

MULTIWAY OR CONVERTIBLE BRAS

Multiway bras are a must-have wardrobe staple, offering plenty of styling options which are perfect for tricky outfits. With adjustable and removable straps, you can transform these bras into a halter, low-back, or strapless style - so that they can be worn with all sorts of tops, dresses and jumpsuits. Including those with unique cuts, such as a backless or low-back dress.

If you're looking for a bra for a backless top or have a dress with a lower back, pair a multiway bra with a low-back converter. This clever accessory lowers the position of your bra strap to keep it out of sight while still giving you the support you need. It's a great way to get more wear out of your favourite bras and ensure your lingerie stays as discreet as your outfit is stunning.

BACKLESS BODYSUITS

For a truly show-stopping outfit, a backless bodysuit is the perfect option. This all-in-one lingerie piece gives you full support in the front while leaving your back completely bare. This can be a great way to play with proportions in outfits and show some skin in a super elegant way. It's also an excellent choice if you're looking to smooth your silhouette under a fitted dress. Our range of bodies offer plenty of choices for backless styles - guaranteeing you'll feel sexy and supported from every angle.

ADHESIVE BRAS

For a seamless and strap-free solution, look no further than adhesive bras. Also known as stick-on bras or backless bras, these clever creations give you lift and coverage without any back straps in sight. Perfect for completely open-back dresses or plunging necklines, adhesive bras are a simple yet effective way to keep your outfit looking flawless. You know what they say, if it ain't broke…

Our Stick and Clip Bra provides support and shape without compromising on style. Easy to use and reusable, it's an essential for your lingerie drawer when it comes to tricky outfits.

NIPPLE COVERS

Sometimes, less really is more. For those who don't need much support but still want a little coverage, nipple covers are a great option. Whether your dress is made from delicate fabrics like sheer or satin, you have a dress or jumpsuit with an open plunging neckline or you're simply looking for a more natural look, nipple covers are a fuss-free way to stay covered while still enjoying the freedom of an open or backless style. We offer a variety of nipple covers, from silicone to satin, so you can choose the option that works best for you and your outfit.

HOW TO WEAR A BRA WITH AN OPEN BACK DRESS

Choosing the right bra solution for a backless or open-back dress depends on both the design of the dress and the level of support you want. It may also depend on what the occasion calls for, your body shape or bra size. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect fit:

  • For low-back dresses, a multiway bra paired with a low-back converter is a great option. You'll get the coverage you need while keeping your bra hidden.
  • Completely open-back dresses call for adhesive bras or nipple covers. These solutions ensure you maintain your shape while keeping your back free and clear of any straps.
  • For cut-out backs, adhesive bras or bodysuits can provide a balance of support and coverage without compromising on the design of the dress.

When it comes to special occasions like weddings, celebrations or festive gatherings, you may want to choose a more structured solution, like a backless bodysuit or multiway bra, for added security. For day-to-day wear (eg: summer dresses) or a casual night out, adhesive bras or nipple covers offer a relaxed, invisible fit.

Don't forget to prep your skin properly for adhesive bras! Ensure your skin is clean and free from lotions or oils to ensure your bra stays in place all day (or night!).
