The Right Bra for Your Dress
- If your dress is PLUNGING, then try a push-up bra. Look for an underwire demi-cup bra with padding to enhance cleavage.If your dress is STRAPLESS, then try a strapless bra. Look for a bra that has a band designed with boning to support your bust without the help of straps.
- If your dress is BODY-HUGGING, then try a body briefer. Look for superthick, tight-fitting microfiber that hugs your body all over and smoothes out your curves.
- If your dress is HALTER, then try a halter bra. Look for a bra with adjustable straps that go around your neck to stay hidden under your dress.
- If your dress is BACKLESS, then try a band-free bra. Look for a bandless bra that adheres securely to your sides with adhesive tabs.

Measure around your rib cage, directly under your bust. Add five inches to this number.
