Suz, I hear you. Would be nice to find my strapless bra in the first round!

Nice, UmmLila. If these don't work, I'll try your suggestion!

The Wacoal strapless bra seems to work for me.

Thanks, Staysfit. Ion my radar.

Good luck! Strapless bras are so tricky. I just realized I hate the one strapless bra I have and ordered a Nartori one (not the same one as you, but with less of a band under the bust since my torso is so short). Fingers crossed!

FWIW: My 40 yo niece wears strapless dresses and tops regularly as her signature style and swears by bustier-style (longline) strapless bras.

Thanks, Christina and Murph11! Bras should be here today - and will report back.

UPDATE: To my SURPRISE the Natori Bliss Perfection Strapless Bra was a better fit than my go-to Simone Perele! Felt more "locked-and-loaded" and provided a "better perky lift" when tops are worn over it. Quite comfy too. Loving the extra torso coverage. Now I can purchase the Reiss tops and bare my shoulders

WINNER! AND it was the cheaper bra!

Bare away

Thanks, Nikki. I intend too! We only live once

Hurray! I cannot believe the luck of finding one that is flattering and comfortable on your first try! I cannot wait to see that beautiful off-the-shoulder jumper!

So glad you found one that worked. And always love when the less expensive thing works better, it’s just an added bonus

That's great news, Angie! Thanks for sharing the info. Maybe some of us will be emboldened to bare a shoulder or two.

I love wearing a good strapless bra, if they fit, there is no bother with falling straps. So glad the Natori worked out for you.

Congrats! That’s awesome.

I can tolerate my strapless bra for a half day of wear. Even then, I have a red line around my torso for hours afterward. It’s asking a lot of a band to hold these girls up without the help of straps too, LOL!

Oh, Janet. I wish it were different! You crack me up, though.....

Echo, that's sweet! Thank you.

kkards, always a pleasant surprise!

Sharan, you'll be baring your shoulders next

Bijou, a good bra makes all the difference!

Fantastic news! Really glad to hear this. It might also work for me since the regular bra with straps does work.

Good to know! Haven’t bought anything needing a strapless bra just because it’s such a pain to find one that works and is comfortable, so I will save this recommendation.

Looking at the Natori’s torso coverage makes me think it may be worth trying. Even though the Wacoal fits me well enough and doesn’t slide down or around, it is tight and I can see how it causes wrinkles in my skin rather than a smooth effect in back. A wider band on the torso might eliminate that problem……

Yay to the less expensive choice! And very excited to see your one shoulder sweater. It's so fun to try a new silhouette!

Suz, definitely worth a try!

Staysfit, YES. Or going up in the band width, perhaps.

Aquamarine, it was more luck than wisdom!

Dana, I'm excited too!
