Now, this longline-styled bra top I just recently discovered. And I love it for many reasons.

This style gives me a summer feel because of its low back. But still, I’m wearing a bra!

Great for the days I work or walk around the house, or even sleep in. Kind of loungewear really.

But then some styles do have (removable) pads, so they can be great for outdoors as well.

As I find bra back bands more irritating than I used to, I look for alternatives. This one, I do love it.

As I age, I notice having more issues with looking good in my dresses.

Feeling good is what we all want, not being busy with how we might look!

A bit of shapewear does the trick for me but does not work without a good bra as well.

This U bra does make a difference for me. It makes my bust look fuller. In some of my dresses, I do need this little gift of confidence.


Style 5. Adjustable Low Back Bra Converter Straps


You can convert any back closure bra you own into a low-back bra.

It is simple to use and it works perfectly for lower back or backless clothing. The straps are adjustable and comfortable.

Every woman can have that smooth & natural no-show look. Just check my 5 styles en find the one that matches your needs.
