The Best Backless Bras to Pair With All Your Tricky Tops and Dresses
Getting dressed up for a night out can be exciting. It can also present some challenges. For me, one of those challenges was finding the right bra to wear with a low-back top or dress. I have a bigger bust, so as someone who prefers not to go braless, I have struggled to find a backless bra that provides support and coverage without peeking out from under my outfit. Many people can opt to wear a backless bra—usually, it's for the look when wearing a backless dress or low-cut silhouette. After extensive research, I've found multiple solutions I now rave about to my friends.
What makes this process fun is that there are so many backless bras to pick from, ranging from adhesive, pasty-like options to bustier-style bra tops with low straps or ultra-deep-V options. Depending on your needs, each style offers a different level of support and coverage, making it essential to have several options on hand. For those who need coverage and support, I have compiled a list of the best backless bras on the internet so you can enjoy the party and not worry about the lack of support.
The Best Backless Bras
2. Fashion Forms Seamless Backless Adhesive Push-Up Bra
3. B.Tempt'd by Wacoal Future Foundation Strapless Longline Underwire Bra
4. Victoria's Secret Backless Strapless Bra
5. Free People Ali Low-Back Seamless Bra
A reusable and washable adhesive silicone bra that gives you strapless, backless, wireless, washable, and flexible support. But my favorite part is the instant lift. You'll catfish everyone into thinking you're wearing a bra without the pesky straps. This customer review says it all.
"I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this bra as other stick-on bras haven't stuck before and/or are very visible underneath clothing. But let me tell you, this bra and nipple covers are magical! They are completely invisible under clothing and truly stick on great! During vacation, I used both the bra and the nipple covers depending on the outfit. They both worked great, stuck on, and didn't lose their suction. I think they will be great for about one summer with multiple uses. On the trip, I used the bra three times and the nipple coverings about three times, they still stick plenty, and I will continue them throughout the summer." — Customer Review
"I love this for all my spaghetti strap, strapless, backless, and off-the-shoulder looks. It provides lift and body and stays in place. You can angle the cups so that the clip is lower to wear with low-cut tops, too. It takes a little figuring out because each cup needs to be stuck at the same spot/angle, or you'll look very crooked once it's clipped. Sizing tip: I'm a 32C and was told to buy the B cup for that width, which fits correctly." — Customer Review
A customer referred to this as their best Nordstrom purchase ever, and that's all I need to hear.
"Excellent for low back dresses. Very comfortable and no show through dress no lines." — Customer Review
"Great for big boobs! Very supportive and comfortable for a strapless bra, waaaay better than the usual ones that slip down or bunch up in back. I'm a 36 DDD and sticky bras are a joke for my size, but this beauty lets me wear low back and strapless dresses perfectly. It does make your waist a bit smaller but I wore smoothing panties to avoid a bulge at the tummy." — Customer Review
This reusable bra is good for up to 25 wears.
"I'm an A and there's no lift at all in this but she works. I wear this w/ strapless or spaghetti strap dresses." — Customer Review
"Love these! This bra stays put and lasts a long time if you rinse each cup with warm water after each use. I live in Miami and never have issues with sweat causing these to slip. Worth the price!" — Customer Review
"This is probably the best sticky bra I have ever purchased the best for backless shirts or tube tops!" — Customer Review
This bra has over 12,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, but this review was the best.
"Wore for my wedding yesterday. It was almost 90°F, and it rained, and this thing did not budge even a little bit. My only complaint was that the cups were really small, but they pushed the girls together like they were supposed to." — Customer Review
"I was really surprised, but this bra was so comfortable you could sleep in it if you had to. I got all three colors before they were gone." — Customer Review
"Thrilled with this bra. The bra stayed on for over seven hours, including dancing. It was very comfortable. I washed it according to instructions, and the stickiness was retained. I will not need this bra again for a while, so I don't know if it will work as well again, but I was amazingly pleased. Very easy to apply." — Customer Review
"Everyone knows how uncomfortable a strapless bra can be. And, everyone knows how a strapless bra likes to fall down. But this little wonder kept the girls up were they belonged through a whole night of dancing! And I was not tugging at the top of it every 5 minutes. Its a really great, uplifting, stable bra. I highly suggest it." — Customer Review
I need a bra like this for all of my low-cut tops.
"I love this! It has the perfect amount of stretch and makes me feel very secure but not constricted. I have multiple colors already, and now I want more." — Customer Review
This bra actually looks cute when you take it all off.
"Got this for my birthday dress and it stayed on and held the girls up all night through dinner, dancing, etc. I’ve worn it several times since and it still stays on and up. Super supportive and worth the $$!!" — Customer Review
The fact that this one sticks right on has me intrigued.
