The bonings on the sides did not poke into our skin in any way either. That being said, the lace did show from underneath our clothes, so we did have to spend some time considering what to pair it with. A dainty slip, an intentional peek-a-book under a low-cut shirt, or a straight-up robe for a cozy evening would all be appropriate for this bra. We have to admit, this bra is so beautiful it’s almost a shame to cover it under a shirt. Whatever your “special occasion” entails – be it a formal night out or an intimate night in, the bra functions impressively as both a camouflaged, sexy detail and a show-stopping piece to be admired. As a special occasion bra, we probably wouldn’t want to wear this daily, but it’s definitely comfortable enough to spend a good six to eight hours in without any trouble.

It resided there quite peacefully until 1964. We tried this bra on two different chest sizes — B and DD — and we were equally impressed with how it performed on both. It never slipped or required us to consistently pull it up as we wore it throughout the day. Spanx uses a trademarked rubber band, called the SmartGrip strap, around the edge of the bra, which helps keep the bra in place; however, it never rubbed or dug into the skin because combined with the soft nylon and memory foam cups, the bra truly felt like a breeze on. We forgot we were even wearing it.The 11 Best Strapless Bras for Large Breasts, Tested & Reviewed Victoria's Secret Sexy Illusions Lightly-Lined Strapless Bra Strapless bras are crafted to stay in place already, using bonings, silicone straps, and a lightly tightened band, so there is no need to size down. Iris Clarke, professional bra fitter and founder of Iris Lingerie Brooklyn, also explains that “strapless bras fit differently than a regular bra in the band size,” so there’s no need to go an extra size down.

It dug into the skin and felt like a constant reminder of its existence. There is also a decent amount of padding in the cups, which held up the chest in a nice supportive way, without making them overwhelmingly large.
