blouse with open back

For a backless blouse, a bra with removable straps or a backless bodysuit works best. For a mid-back cut, a bra with straps fastened at the front or crossed over is sufficient. For a deeper cut-out reaching the waist, a tailored bodysuit is the only sure-fire solution - invisible under the fabric and comfortable all day long.

The neckline exposes not only the bust, but also the back if it is located at the back. However, a strong cut-out, often reaching waist height, is a problematic styling element that definitely makes it difficult to choose the right underwear. The bra should remain invisible, otherwise the backless blouse loses its unique charm. There are women who opt for alternatives to the bra and even some who forgo it altogether, sometimes resulting in a loss of comfort and convenience. It is possible to wear a backless blouse and underwear that supports the bust well and remains invisible. I wonder if you already know this patent....

Open-back blouse and ill-fitting underwear 

It has to be said that women are very creative when it comes to styling. They are able to find patents that effectively realise their fashion ideas. Unfortunately, this is often at the expense of our comfort. So-called self-supporting bras work well under an open-back blouse. They are strapless and without a belt around the waist, and have only two cups with a silicone finish that makes them adhere to the body. The problem, however, is their durability and keeping them in place. Self-supporting bras have a tendency to shift, making it necessary to correct them frequently. It can also happen that it slips off completely. It also has to fit perfectly and, with a large bust, it does not provide enough support. 

The second way to wear a backless blouse is with nipple clips. They come in different variants - in the form of self-adhesive tape or small stick-on tabs. These, too, do not always adhere well to the body and, besides, do not shape the bust. In the case of small breasts, we do not have the possibility to optically enlarge them, and with large breasts we do not have the possibility to lift them. 

Blouse with open back - a perfectly fitting bra

A bra that would remain invisible under an open-back blouse would need to have a low back fastening, at waist level. For the most part, however, it is classic, located in the middle back area, just below the shoulder blades. However, Bouduar offers bras that allow them to be fastened low, just at waist level. An example is the soft bra Raw Lace, which, when combined with high-waisted panties from the same collection creates a set that is ideal for a backless blouse. It makes use of shorter straps, creating both a connection to the briefs and a solid clasp to support busts of both smaller and larger sizes. Bra It is in beige and black finished with our original lace. We have sewn it from a delicate mesh that fits beautifully to the body. 

Not just a backless bra , but also a bodysuit 

You might think that only minimalist underwear with a small number of elements would work under a backless blouse. However, it turns out that you can also wear a bodysuit underneath, but it must be cut in such a way that the back is left undone. The bodysuit is an underwear that shapes the silhouette beautifully, emphasises assets and helps conceal flaws. It therefore has many supporters, who no longer have to give it up if they want to wear an open-back blouse. 

Bouduar bodysuits are characterised by their cut to suit awkward styles when you just want to reveal a little more body. These include a flesh-coloured, versatile bodysuit Magic Perfection, Impossible Love, which you can also wear with a deep neckline and a black transparent bodysuit Sexy at all softcup. The cups are connected to the bottom of the bodice with short straps, while the front of the cups are connected to the back with long straps. For larger busts, the straps at the back can be fastened low crosswise. The back remains uncovered, the bust is properly supported and the silhouette takes on a feminine shape. 

A backless blouse is a symbol of sensuality and sensuality. The bra you wear underneath it should remain invisible, otherwise it will effectively rob the style of its unique uniqueness. At the same time, you don't have to sacrifice comfort, which is after all the basis for feeling good in any situation. At Bouduar, we think multifaceted - it has to be feminine, comfortable, practical and tailored. We are also happy to give advice, for example on how to choose lingerie for deep cleavage.
