Let's Talk About Backless Dresses and Undergarments

After I posted photos wearing this dress and this dress and Jeremy posted his video, I got a lot of emails from women wondering what I do for, um, support when wearing a backless dress.  The emails usually start out something like, "I know this is personal and kinda awkward..." so I thought we could just talk about it and not worry about it being awkward at all.

I realize some gals are just built in a way that they don't have to worry about bras with these kinds of dresses.  I am not.  I really do LOVE the way a backless dress looks, so I went ahead and got my first one, and decided I would just find a way to overcome this obstacle.  Sticky bras are an option.  I'm lazy though, and if my clothes aren't convenient, I won't end up wearing them.  I need to be able to throw something on and go.  Here's my solution:

Reaaaaallllll classy, right?  I just chopped up some bras and handstitched them in.  It doesn't matter how good your stitches look or how ratty your bras are, it only matters that you don't poke your stitches through the front of the dress, and your bra gets stitched in straight.  I used a LOT of pins when sewing because my first go around ended in a very crooked chest.  That doesn't really look good on anyone.  ;)

So, now you know.  Go out there and buy all the backless dresses your heart desires.  ;)))

    This is such an awesome idea! I never thought of that... I have stayed away from so many backless dresses because I simply CANNOT do without a bra! I feel inspired to get a backless dress now...

    Thanks so much for sharing this! You don't know how enlightened I feel right now...

    2. ArlonaSeptember 5, 2013 at 1:00 PM

      It works great if you are on the smaller side. As a 34D, I have trouble with this, and I have to find dresses like the blue one that has some structure to the back and it helps. It is not a perfect solution, because if you are large and there is no structure to the dress the bra kinda just floats in front. I look for a dress with a strap mid-back so I don't have that issue.

      Try it! Use a bra that is a smidgen too big, as it will help not draw attention to any seams as you sew.

    3. Heather CNovember 7, 2013 at 5:50 PM

      Hmm, I wonder if that would help me. I have sewed some bras in dresses and am not 100% happy with the outcome. Perhaps, too, it is because I used fairly stretchy bras. Did you use a more structured bra?

      Delete
    4. nogoddessMay 25, 2014 at 1:02 PM

      While the dress would still have to have enough structure to do this, you could combine the sewn in bra with a corset back... Not sure where the dress is at the moment (recently moved), or if I could even post photos here, so hopefully I can describe what I'm talking about well enough ;)

      I bought a beautiful evening gown type dress last year, strapless with a zip-up back. It was a bit too tight and didn't zip all the way up. Did some googling and came up with how to replace a zip-up back with a lace up corset back. There are kits you can buy, or you can DIY it, which is what I did - though I sorta cheated, as I had an old corset with fabric and loops that matched well enough, so I cut it up and stitched to the dress (instead of handmaking and sewing on the individual loops). And sewed a bra into the front that had pretty shoulder straps that widened a bit at the top of the shoulders (and fabric also matched the dress - dress was black satin, so pretty easy to match in this case) - found some beautiful ribbon of black roses (could also be made by hand) and stitched that to the bra shoulder straps. I cut the bra back off where it met with the side seams.

      It looked fantastic, and for once, zero problems with support (36DD). Haven't done another one yet, but I'll no longer be afraid of strapless dresses, dresses with no front support, or zip-up dresses that are a bit too tight (just make sure it zips up to about an inch above your waist).

      Hope you see this as it's rather a late response ;) Feel free to holler at me if you need more info!

    Would this work if you just buy the pads at JoAnn Fabrics and sew them in. I do not know what is best between the three answers. I would like to fix all of my clothes that are dress' or dresy tops. If you just sew in the pads maybe it will not be enough support to keep them in place.????

    This is a great idea! However, I don't exactly understand how I can stitch the bra in without the stitches poking through an appearing on the outside of the dress. Does it only work with lined dresses?

    a good tip is to use a loose chain type of stitching, so the bra has a little movement in it, rather than completely being stitched to one place. If the dress fits it will hold it in all the right places without any pulling

    Thanks for sharing your fantabulous idea! I don't wear backless dresses or tops now I can more often! I have a see-through back laced top for a wedding (the back is just all lace) and was reluctant to buy a $60-$70 braless cup now I don't have to. You saved me time and moolah, thanks again! xo

    Love this and my material is a thin, stretch jersey that the stitches would show through. Any advice?

    I'm a 42DD. I do this with bathing suits because i was always falling out of them! I recently found that Lane Bryant now sells bathing suits with underwire bras built in! I should have patented my idea.....

    This is another great idea! Nice job!!!

    WOW!!! I love your blog. A good idea for women to wear backless, strapless bra, off-shoulder outfits without showing the straps of the bras to feel comfortable, carefree, and confident. Thanks for sharing!
