Simply Fab: Maidenform Breakthrough Backless Bra

I've seen a lot of bras in my lifetime, but none like this Maidenform Breakthrough Backless Bra ($25).

A lot of bras claim to be backless, but this first-ever design is a completely backless bra. So your first question is, "How does it stay put?" Well, there's silicone on the wire channeling to prevent slippage. The seamless foam cups provide a natural shape, so this is probably not a good option for those who seek major cleavage. This bra will put an end to the issues we face when wearing an open-back dress . . . finally!

On a side note, doesn't the model look like actress Teri Hatcher?

Last week, I featured fabworthy dresses and tops with back details from Urban Outfitters, like this Lux Keyhole Back Flutter Dress, on sale for $40 (originally $58). Many of you expressed that you wouldn't be able to wear them because of the bra strap issue. Most of us aren't comfortable with going bra-less, so I completely understand your concern. I pondered how I may be able to help you and good old Victoria's Secret came to my rescue!

I once had a backless dress and wouldn't dare wear it without a bra. This Victoria's Secret Adhesive Underwire Plunge Bra, on sale for $36 (originally $48), really saved me. The genius thing about it is it has support cups so that your breasts don't feel like they're falling and bouncing all over. It's backless so people won't even be able to tell that you're wearing a bra. It comes with adhesive, which you stick on the clear parts of the bra and then stick it to your body. You can use it up to 10 times so it's well worth the money.

Oh, and for you big-busted gals, they have sizes up through D. Hopefully now you won't be afraid to put on sexy backless tops and dresses!

An upcoming trip to Vegas for a bachelorette party had me in conundrum for a strapless bra. The current one I have makes a funny line across my chest - not cool. A friend suggested I try the Victoria's Secret Invisible Shaping Bra ($68). It was the answer to all my problems. Not only does it relieve me of funny lines, this baby is strapless, backless, washable, and gives me a naturally curvy shape.
