5 Tricky Dresses And What To Wear Under Them


Summer is the perfect time to show a little skin,  flirty dresses that let you do that all season long. The trouble is, some of these frocks come with strange straps, cool cutouts, and backless voids in fabric where no normal bra can go. What's a girl got to do to get a little support? 


As the temps rise, feel free to release yourself from the layers you've been hiding behind for months, and embrace a little sunshine in your new must-have getup. We've got your back. And front. 

Grab a fun, chic summer dress—and find the perfect underthings to go with it

The deep V-neck is a sexy summer staple, but your basic bra is going to cramp your style by peeking out where you don't want it to. Try a bra that plunges along with your dress, and stay comfortably   supported.

Summer days (and nights) wouldn't be complete without this bohemian classic, but most strapless, tube-like bras will have you..erm...bent out of shape. Try a strapless with underwire to make sure your figure is flattered. We like one from Topshop, on the next slide.

Cutouts are a fun, sexy way to show a little skin, and we love the unexpected shapes and cuts we're seeing for summer. To bare your back, you'll need an extra-special support system in front, one that's certain not to budge. Try an adhesive option like the one we found.

Hot halters are perfect for summer date nights, but make sure you don't show so much as a strap. A bra with a strap that hides discretely behind your neck (and under fabric), is the way to go.

Is there anything else so unforgiving? Don't forget your shapewear when stepping out in a frock that hugs every curve. Shapewear from the tummy down will ensure you'll have a smooth evening, and we like the high-waisted slip that's waiting for you on the next slide.
