bra for backless gowns

For backless dresses, a convertible bra or a tailor-made backless bodysuit are best. A convertible bra works with mid-back cut-outs. For a deep cut-out reaching the waist and a D+ bust, a bodysuit is the only reliable solution – it provides all-evening support and is invisible under the fabric.

With the arrival of spring and then summer, comes the chance to wear lighter clothes. Large necklines or high-cut backs are an accent piece of clothing that adds sensuality and originality to each of us. In the warm season, we are simply comfortable in such an outfit! If you don't already have such clothes in your wardrobe, be sure to take a look at original domestic brands that make good quality garments, such as UNDRESSCODE, MUUV or THE ODDERSIDE. Exposed dresses will be perfect for meetings with friends in cafés, outdoors or a date in the park, or a stroll through the old town. However, to make sure that dresses with an exposed back fit us perfectly, it is a good idea to wear the right underwear underneath. You may be wondering which bra to wear with an open-back dress? We have the answer!

Open back - how to make it stand out

One way to wear heavily cut-out clothes is to not wearing any underwear under the outfit. More adventurous women are opting for this, who are above all free and not afraid of a bit of extravagance.

For ladies with larger breast sizes, this can be a bit of a problem. Large bust sizes often need to be supported in order to look shapely and allow every movement, without restraint. A bodysuit or bra for an open-back dress then comes to the rescue.

Magic Perfection is an example of a backless bodysuit that matches cut-out outfits with its functionality. This bare back bodysuit is flesh-coloured and transparent, making it ideal for tight-fitting dresses, including those with cut-outs. The special front construction of this backless bodysuit model and the corsetry solutions used, allow it to be worn with creations with a heavily cut-out back, even below the waist.

Emotional gravity is another model of backless bodysuit which, thanks to its flesh-coloured shade, is perfect for wedding or formal dresses. The solutions used in it gently slim the stomach and make it ideal for deep necklines, also on the back.
