I have GOT to get me a convertible bra!
Straps, no straps or halter, these babies do it all! :thumbsup:

1. It does look useful.....
I'd have one, but I need my bra to close/open in the front......

My shoulders have too many spurs, and reaching around the back is impossible....

:hi:

2. But those straps are so little....
And is there anyone that strapless bras work for? Seriously?

I've tried them twice, and both times I had to excuse myself and stuff them in my handbag. Maybe I wasn't doing it right?

5. They work okay for me
But that's probably because I barely have any need for one. :shrug: For support a longline kind of thing is the only way to go when strapless is needed.

6. I always just used those sticky cups if I needed to go strapless.
I like my convertible bra because the racerback is handy for some of my tanktops.

3. Oh yeah, it's an old standard
the secret to wearing off the shoulder clothes without playing bounce your boobies.

Strapless can still be dicey if it's too loose or if the bazooms are big.

8. The problem I run into
Is to get a strapless bra to stay up it has to be so tight the elastic cuts in and leaves red marks. Except with the longline styles, like above. Those can just be comfortably snug, rather than uncomfortably small.

Bali no-pokes are great and this one doesn't have too much padding like so many strapless bras do. :thumbsup:

9. If you are small enough to be able to wear a strapless,
you can probably get away without wearing one at all :)

12. Nobody'd ever notice, really
I just kinda like buying cute bras. Also, good ones camoflage the fact that I don't really need 'em.

13. They do tell women to put the flaps down in the sun.
Really, it's a way to treat or prevent thrush.

11. Honey, if I wore one of those, I'd shortly look like I had four knees.
