Frequently Asked Questions About Strapless & Multiway Bras
What is the best strapless bra for a larger bust?
For a fuller bust, the Prima Donna Figuras is our top recommendation. It goes up to a G cup, sits deeper in the centre to accommodate more volume, and has a structured elasticated band that holds the bra firmly in place without needing to be pulled up throughout the day. If you've been put off strapless bras by bad experiences in the past, this is the one to try.
Why does my strapless bra keep falling down?
Almost always, this comes down to fit. Without straps, the band carries around 85% of the support — so it needs to be genuinely firm against the body. If the back is too loose, or the cups aren't fully enclosing your breast tissue, the bra has nothing to grip and will shift. We find that customers who've been wearing their strapless bra on a slightly generous fit, or in a cup size that doesn't fully contain the bust, consistently have this problem. A proper fitting — in-store or via our online guide — usually solves it.
What's the difference between a strapless bra and a multiway bra?
A strapless bra is designed specifically to be worn without straps. A multiway bra can be configured in multiple ways — strapless, halterneck, crossed at the back, or with regular straps — making it considerably more versatile. If you're buying one bra to cover a range of outfits, a multiway like the Marie Jo Avero or the Empreinte Cassiopee multiway is often the smarter choice.
What cup sizes do your strapless bras go up to?
The Prima Donna Figuras goes up to a G cup, making it one of the few genuinely supportive strapless options for a fuller bust. The Simone Pérèle Essentiel goes up to an F cup in 30–36 backs. If you're above a G cup and need strapless support, get in touch with us and we'll advise on the best option for your size.
What if my outfit is backless as well as strapless?
For outfits that are low both front and back, a traditional bra won't work. We stock stick-on cups which adhere directly to the skin and actually lift the bust — they're more supportive than they look and remove without leaving residue. We also have low back strap converters if your outfit is backless but still has something to attach to.
How should a strapless bra fit?
The band should feel firm — more so than a regular bra — because without straps it's doing the majority of the work. You should be able to fit two fingers under the band, but no more. The cups should fully enclose your breast tissue with no spillage at the top or sides; if the underwire isn't sitting flush against your ribcage all the way round, go up a cup size. If you're unsure, come in for a fitting at the boutique or contact us before ordering.
