Do supportive "bralettes" exist?

StyleEasy

Hi there, all!

I'm absolutely stoked about the influx of strappy backed bras that are meant to be seen! I think these bras look great paired with open back tops. Unfortunately, most of these strappy backed bras are actually "bralettes" which offer little to no support or shaping for us busty ladies.

Has anyone come across any strappy backed bras with underwires? For reference, I range from a 34C-32DD depending on brand.

Thank you in advance

I don't think so... I don't think it would be called a bralette anyway? In my mind bralettes are soft (I like to wear them at home) and they're not the most flattering. That said, there has to be some type of supportive and strappy bra but I wouldn't use the search term bralette to find it.

Victoria's Secret has several actual bras with the criss-cross straps (that I also love). They are pricey though.

I was looking for the very same thing. I need a lot of support and ended up with a front closure bra but it has a lacy back to show under a deep key hole dress. It works.
