For the last few years, along with practically everyone I know, I have been wearing bandeau and strapless bras under overly-revealing tops or dresses, because for some reason, a bandeau or strapless bra looks a lot less bra-showy than a normal, standard bra. Not only do they not create any unwanted, tacky cleavage, but they can look really pretty… These are two bras that I thought were really pretty when looking on the John Lewis website. I am so tired of normal looking bras and its always exciting to find something a bit different.

Gossard Ooh La La Longline Strapless Bra, Cream/Bisque

£34. Really pretty. The straps can be removed. The bra is underwired and the cups are padded. Could it be any more perfect? I don’t know what else to say apart from I WANT IT. It’s so pretty and feminine with the lace, and the fact that it is longer than a usual bra makes it more comfy and so much more stylish. I think this would look amazing under a simple vest with a plunging neck/arm lines, revealing this pretty bra! I really like that you can keep the straps on or remove them, depending on what you are wearing.

John Lewis Bella Strapless Bra, Red/Black

Was £35 Now £17.50….amazing price for a bra this pretty. Only in sizes 30B and 30D currently. I would wear this under a long, black dress with a plunging neckline and little jewelry (maybe a few chunky, vintage rings and a nice watch). I especially like the fact that this bra is red, it makes a nice change from the usual, whites, creams and black that strapless bras usually come in. The bow, the dots and the lace add nice details to this pretty bra.

I always too scared to wear strapless bras until a few years ago (after a school ball when I was 13 and my bra kept falling down- I had to spend pretty much the whole night in the restroom trying to fix it). But now that I have enough boob to wear them I couldn’t live without them, do you like them? :]
