Plus Sized Bras

We get a lot of questions from frustrated large busted ladies about strapless bras. What works for their smaller busted friends just doesn't do the trick for them. They'll often resort to less than perfect solutions in order to show off their lovely shoulders in strapless dresses and other shoulder exposing clothes. Let's face it, though. Transparent bra straps are tacky. They may disappear at a distance of 100 yards, but anyone standing anywhere nearby can see them and they're often uglier than standard bra straps.

Fortunately, there are solutions available, but you've got to accept a couple of facts if you're a large busted woman:

1) Your boobs are heavier than your smaller busted friends'.

2) Your bra straps shouldn't be supporting your breasts anyway (unless you like permanent grooves in your shoulder)

The key to finding a strapless bra for a large busted woman lies in an understanding of how a bra should work in the first place. While every bra is not a shelf bra, most bras support breasts like a shelf. The underwire (or at least the bottom of the bra) acts as the shelf. Most women think that the bra's shoulder straps keep this shelf from falling down. In actuality, it's friction that keeps the shelf from falling.
