How to wear backless bras

Backless bras usually have adhesive straps or side wings and are a versatile choice for backless dresses, as they eliminate the need for traditional straps or bands. These bras adhere directly to your skin, offering lift and support without compromising style.

Steps:

• Clean and dry your skin to maximise adhesion.
• Place one cup at a time, lifting your breast and pressing the adhesive side onto your skin.
• Adjust as needed to achieve your desired lift and cleavage.

How to wear convertible bras

Some regular bras are designed with convertible features, allowing you to adjust or remove the straps to accommodate various necklines, including backless dresses. Look for bras with removable or convertible straps that can be worn in a halter, crisscross, or low-back configuration.

Steps:

1. Convert the straps to a halter or cross-back style.
2. Use a low-back converter strap or DIY with a bra clip to create a lower backline.
