The Multiway Bra
Available for £33 here
Lisa raved about Curvy Kate’s Multiway Bra, which states you can get 100 different uses out of just one bra. And priced at £33, Lisa said that’s 33p way if you try out all 100.
And this is the perfect bra for those with bigger busts as it goes from a 32D up until a 40J. So how does this bra work? The innovative eyeletted fold over top edge of the cup means that the straps can be positioned anywhere, which is a lifesaver if you’re heading to various events wearing dresses with all different cuts. Whether you want strapless, one-shoulder, low-back, this bra does it all while also offering the support that bigger chested women need underneath their occasionwear.
Backless shapewear
Stick on bra available for £24 here and hourglass thigh shaper for £54 here
Backless dresses are a pretty big trend at the moment, but going braless or without shapewear simply isn’t an option for most of us. However, Lisa’s hack has saved the day. The hack involves wearing a stick on bra, like Marks & Spencer’s Wired Stick On Strapless Winged Bra. This is then combined with Wacoal’s clever Hourglass Thigh Shaper, which dips at the back meaning the fabric won’t be seen when wearing your backless dress. Plus the shapewear skims all the lumps and bumps you don’t want showing and helps create a gorgeaous silhouette.
Halterneck hack
Available for £62 here
Of course, we can’t have the shapewear conversation wihtout talking about Skims. Lisa raves about the Kim Kardashian-founded bra for its amazing shade range, which we definitely can’t fault. And Skims multi-way bra is another that geniusly adapts to different dress styles. Durign the segment, Lisa effortless showed us how to adapt this handy bra from its classic straps to a halter-neck style, making it perfect for those wearing halterneck occasionwear outfits this summer.
It is on the pricier side at £62, but shoppers have raved about its high quality and seamless finish. And the sizing starts from 32A up to 42G, so it works for those with smaller chests as well.
