Best Bras for Holiday Dresses and Tricky Necklines

The holiday season means one thing: holiday dresses. And when it comes to dresses, these days, many of them are designed without bras in mind. How exactly are you supposed to wear a neckline, for instance, that plunges beneath your bra line? Let us walk you through our top three bra recommendations for holiday dresses.

Bras for plunging necklines

A plunging neckline is the perfect silhouette for a dramatic holiday look, especially if you’re going to wear something with long sleeves. But if you need support, it can be a difficult style to wear. You'll need a bra with a dramatically lower front gore to hide beneath your holiday dress.

That’s where a deep plunge bra comes in. This wire dips below the bra line so you can still get support without showing beneath the dress.

Key features to consider in a plunge bra:

• A deep V-shaped center that dips below the bra line

• Cups that provide lift and support without extra bulk

• Comfortable straps and band for all-day comfort

Bras for backless dresses

Next up we have the infamous backless dress. Many holiday dresses feature a low or open back. If your chest is small enough you can ditch a bra altogether, but if you don't feel comfortable forgoing the support, you'll need an option that leaves your back uncovered.

Enter: the sticky bra. This bra has adhesive pads that stick to your chest, and then you can tighten the pads in the center to create supportive tension. The adhesive is strong enough to last throughout the evening.

Benefits of sticky bras:

• Adhesive cups that stick securely to your skin

• Adjustable front closure for a personalized fit and cleavage level

• Strong adhesive that stays put, even during a night of dancing

Bras for body con dresses

Last up, we have a tight long sleeve holiday dress. For this festive style, you'll want a bra that’s supportive and gives great shape without cutting in. The best bra to achieve this is a full coverage bra. The cups will completely encircle your breast tissue, which leaves no room for lines or spillage. 

Features to look for in a full coverage bra:

• Molded cups that keep a nice, round shape without adding volume

• Higher sides to prevent any side spillage

• Wider straps for added support and stability
