To write this post, I looked at a ton of bras, and choosing which ones to show came down to finding something special or different. First of all, I liked the way this one looked. It has plenty of coverage but still works with low-cut v-neck dresses. I like the wide band underneath the bosom; it looks super comfy. What really sold me on it was the back. It has wide panels that help hide back fat. I will never say NO to hiding my back rolls, lol.
Finally, we have the ultimate in backless bras. It’s also sideless and almost frontless, lol. This bra works with sticky, skin-friendly silicone adhesive. Available in multiple colors and sizes from A to G, this bra offers a solution for different outfits. Lightweight and easy to clean, it can be reused multiple times by simply washing and air-drying.
Tip: If your adhesive bra starts to lose its stickiness, gently wash it with mild soap and water to restore its adhesive properties. Store adhesive bras properly by keeping the protective film on when not in use to maintain their stickiness and shape.

Hi, Tania – Thanks VERY much for this information about bras to wear with backless dresses. It’s most helpful!
VA VA room! the bustier is perfect! Just what I need to wear under a black body con sweater dress!
Glad you found your cute pink shoes! What great bra options.
Lots of good options. I like that there’s a body shaper option. No special events to go to this year for me. At least not yet. Lol.
Wonder how your shoes were in a tote? Sounds like something I would do.
Gorgeous shoes! That pink is amazing!
Can’t wear backless dresses anymore, great selections though!
Ha – now all I need is a backless dress!
Thanks for the selections. The only one I wouldn’t wear is the bodysuit. I can’t imagine going to the bathroom.
Great post on a subject that is hard to talk about! Terrific options.
Does the strapless adhesive bra hold you up? I’m a 34dd and don’t want to look saggy
Judy, since all strapless bras don’t have straps, I doubt any of them do a great job of holding you up.
Clear straps are amazing. Glad you found your shoes LOL
Although I don’t wear backless dresses anymore, it is nice to have so many options. My granddaughter wore the adhesive one with her prom dress and it worked great.
Informative post, thanks!
The backless bra looks great
