Halo by Wacoal: A strapless bra that really holds up
In your comments the other day, a few of you raised the issue of what kind of bra to wear with a bare summer dress. It's an excellent question, since most strapless bras are either overly padded and/or constantly slip down your rib cage. After years of searching, the best I've found is this Halo style by Wacoal. It's made of seamless stretch lace with underwire for support and the edges are lined with silicone beading, which really helps the thing stay put while you're wearing it.
That said, I am stumped as to what kind of undergarment would work for a dress with a really low back. I'm curious about those adhesive strapless, backless bras, but to be honest, they kind of scare me: If they're really meant to stick to you, could they possibly be easy (or painless!) to take off? This nylon style from Gap looks relatively innocuous; more befuddling is the chicken-cutlet-esque rubber one that a salesgirl tried to push on me once upon a time in a lingerie department. Can any of you vouch for them? Or is there some other kind of miraculous strapless bra you've tried that you can't live without?
