Bras for Fancy Occassions
apply including seamless, slimming, strapless and uplifting. This is because most of the dresses that are worn for special occasions are strapless and made out of filmy materials that show every lump or bump on the body.
Every big bra company makes some kind of seamless bra that has fabric adhered to a molded cup specifically so that your breasts will look nicer under items such as wintry cashmere sweaters or see though chiffon blouses. The idea is to get the right cup size when you buy this type of bra or you could end up with unattractive bulges under your arms. If in doubt buy a size a bit larger and fill any vacuum with Kleenex or one of the gel filled “pork cutlet” style cup enhancing accessories.
Molded bras also come in a strapless variety that are a bandeau style that fastens in the back. These bras usually have a fair amount of elastic in them so that they stay up when you wear them. You can also get bras that fit inside gowns and prom dresses that are merely molded bra cups. There are no straps or anything as these uplifting molded bra cups are simply affixed to the body with adhesive tape. These types of self-adhesive molded bra cups are ideal if you need breast support while wearing a strapless gown with a very low cut back.
If you are wearing a chiffon style type and don’t want your bra straps to show you can try removing them completely and replacing them with clear plastic straps. This gives you security and support but the straps are invisible beneath your clothing.
You can also get bras that have prints and themes to them that suit various holidays. For instance a green bra or one with shamrocks on it suits St. Patrick’s Day. You can get red and green lingerie with little tufts of fur for Christmas. Of course the day that beats all others in terms of being a favorite day to wear a novelty bra is St. Valentine’s Day. This is the day when it is most permitted to wear that lacy or filmy creation that is guaranteed to seduce your lover.
As some holiday tops and dresses can be quite elaborate it might be necessary to buy straps that extend your bra so it fastens in the back below the low cut of a dress. You can even buy clear plastic pieces with hooks and eyes that extend across the back and that go unnoticed if you have a dress with peekaboo holes in its design in the back.
If you like shine and glitter you can make one of the new rhinestone or metallic bra straps part of your total outfit by having it glint from beneath the edge of your top or from beneath the back of your dress. You can also get these straps embellished with roses, bows or symbols to do with the holidays such as Christmas tree prints.
