    Here's what I do:

    Casual: 5d2a8c546e6c95a86e55bb2e656d1fe4.jpg


    Formal: backless_bras2.jpg

    Granted, I don't have huge tatas, but it works.

    Where are these from?

    I don't know but I completely understand your dilema.
    I'm going to wait and see if there are any helpful answers
    though. Good luck! :)

    check this out! I never knew you could do this with bras. Perhaps it might help.

    This was helpful. Thanks! I never knew about that bra band extender that you can wrap around in different ways. Better than buying a whole new bra.

    Yeah, does anyone know where we can purchase a bra band extender, like the one in the video? I've seen the small ones that just make the band bigger (they also have ones to make the band smaller).

    Thanks. Also, it looks like it's called a bra back converter, so I know better how to search or ask for it.

    not knowing your cup size, can you get those uplift things? they cover your boobs but there are no straps I think they just stick on

    If you've ever been in a dance performance, that's what we do...and then we paint on some lips...just kidding, but we do use the ducktape trick. I suggest putting a material on inside like plasticwrap to avoid ripping a whole entire panel of ducktape off your tits (make a bra upsidedown in front of you, line everywhere leaving the perimeter sticky, lye down or get upsidedown and squish your boobs together and whap it on :D ) it takes a few times to get the shape right. Everyone kind of does their own thing. I believe last time I made 2 individual boobs and then had a piece to pull them together to give the pushup look.

    If you're talking about the nude sticky reusable silicone things that I have (not a fan):
    silicone_stickonbra_large-235x300.jpg
    ...they come in different 'cups'. If you get the wrong one, it does warp your boobs. It also changes the shape of them since they are a bit padded so the padding goes wherever you put them so you can make your underboob heavier, or make your boobs point up...but if it's the wrong cup it looks odd (like a to small strapless, squatting at odd places).

    The thing I like about these things is that you can put them on seperately and then pull the clasps together and connect, squishing your boobs and giving you cleavage. I've since figured out how to do this with ducktape, which won't come off if you sweat like the nude sticky things (Do not wear these downtown if you like to bounce around)

    Step 1: Get a pullup bar
    Step 2: install
    Step 3: get Ducktape
    Step 4: Hang off pullup bar nakie
    Step 5: Tape bootom of boobs
    Step 6: your welcome.

    Or get a pretty bra with a fancy back. I'm not a fan of the 'sticky boobs'. They fall off when sweaty.

    Bonus workout and a bra!

    Not sure if it has been mentioned, but you might look into a long line bra like this: http://www.herroom.com/carnival-206-invisible-plunge-longline-bra.shtml

    I actually hate that I may have an answer to this but; K-Tape may be in order. Certainly a bit more "skin-friendly" than duct tape. That stuff was (indirectly) made for something like this and it's made for the body, not metal.

    You look pretty small if your photo but for me being a plus size girl I don't ever go bra-less ever! So I will do the strapless if the dress is really really cute or just put something over. Sorry I'm not too much help

    I bought a backless dress and now I don't know what to do with my boobs. Going braless is not the most flattering option. What's your best method/product to help keep them afloat?

    Duct Tape...Just kidding :). They make clear back bras you should check out or go to a bridal shop and talk to them. They deal with those problems all the time. I'm sure they could help you find a bra.

    I bought one of those bra back converters to convert a bra to wear under a dress with a lower back but after trying it on a few times I'm not comfortable with how the converter takes away the support of the bra from the back band. Now I'm looking for a long line bra in my size (34HH). I have found them from one of the links posted in this thread but they only go up to a single H so I think I'm going to order one and see if it will work..

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do : )

    Get the stick on thins but take care about the sides.... backless are notorious for the side boob phenomenon I suggest fashion double tape for that...

    Send in a pic once you wear it..

    Personally, I'd not wear a bra.

    My friend uses something called "perk ups".

    Sticky boobs or duct tape.

    Duct tape might be fine for wearing, but taking it off might hurt .....

    Just saying...

    Sticky boobs! Haha that's what I call them, I have no idea what they're actually called... but you can get them at most department stores. They're nude colored bra cups that just stick right onto your boobs via adhesive. They stay on pretty well and normally last for several wears as long as you wash them properly in between. Like this one:

    silicone_stickonbra_large-235x300.jpg

    ^^ These, they work fairly well, but make sure you wash them after each use, otherwise they will not last long.

    I'll also add since people have brought it up that I've danced with many plus sized people, and yep, this works well they said. And I'll also recommend putting material on the inside and only keeping the perimeter of the ducktape bra sticky so you don't get stuck in the bandaid situation. This also gets rid of the 'bra band digging into side flab' problem in slinky materialed dresses, even if the back isn't out. But I admit, it's a bit of an ordeal to make one of these the first few times until you get it downpat the way you like.

    I have a backless bra that I bought at JC Penney's. It works pretty good, I've had it for several years now and have used it several times with no problems. You need to have help putting it on, because you need to make sure to get it tight.

    Yes. It hurts.

    Yes it does, I used it once for a long run to keep my nipples from chaffing....epic fail :grumble:

    This is why I suggested Kinesiology Tape. Holds stuff up and doesn't hurt when it's taken off of the skin. It's made to be put directly on the skin.

    This wasn't a video about using tape, but it was a really excellent video about Ernestine Shepherd.
