The strapless longline bra is one of the most popular longline bra styles that women want.  Why?  Because this style is can be worn with strapless formal wear – dresses and gowns.  The most obvious special occasion is your wedding day!

With the newer and sleeker fabrics, the strapless longline is very comfortable while also being sexy at the same time.  However, be sure you get a proper fitting because the strapless design usually hugs the body closer since there are no straps holding it up.

In this article, we list some of the most popular and favorably-reviewed strapless longline bras available today.

• Lilyette’s Defining Moments Longline Bra 829 – one of the best longline bras we like, this is also a strapless.  The lightweight fabric consists of Tactel and cotton, making it very comfortable – very popular for bridalwear.
• Goddess Lace Longline Bra 689 – while a favorite for full figured (plus size) women, this bra is available in sizes from 34 to 50FF.  Extremely popular for bridesmaid and bridal gowns.
• Dominique Longline Lace Torsolette Bra – another of our best longline bras, this has more of a formal lace look but uses rear closures.  A bit more pricey but very well reviewed
• Va Bien Ultralift Longline Convertible Bra 1503 – another extremely popular bra, albeit on the pricey side.  It utilizes their patented “ultra lift” technology for a superior look and feel.  Very sexy longline bustier.
• Wacoal Longline Strapless Bra 85014 – a unique sheer look makes this bra very sexy – a very popular model for bridal gowns.  It does have vertical boning which some might not like.  Support is great, however.

Although not listed above, another popular line of strapless longlines comes from Flattering Me – these bras are definitely on the pricier end ($90+) but there are a host of women that swear by them.  They are worth checking out as well.

It pays to do additional research and fittings.  Even for the most popular bras out there, some women may not like them or fit them well for a variety of reasons.  For example, some women cannot comfortably or properly wear *any* type of longline bra due to their body type or breast size.  Again, that is why it is very important to get a proper fitting by a professional.

The market is always changing so the best way to keep up-to-date on the favorite strapless longline bras is to view the customer reviews sections on the largest retailers like Amazon or HerRoom.

Good luck!

While there are many different types of longline bras, most of them fall under one of  four specific bra categories:  Strapless, Plus Size, Posture Support, and General Strapped.  Of these four types, strapless and plus size longline bras are the most popular specialty styles.  Let’s look at each of these a little more closely.

Strapless Longline Bras

The strapless longline bra is the most common specialty style because it fills a unique and desirable need – a bra that can be worn with strapless dresses, gowns, or other similar evening wear.  Naturally, they are very popular for women to wear with wedding dresses as well.

As the name implies, this bra has no straps over the shoulders to hold the bra in place – rather, the fit and fabric are design to hold the bra up from the torso.  This is typically done with stretch bands or underwires.  We do notice that many manufacturers also include optional straps for those occasions where straps would be acceptable and you want even more support.

Plus Sized Longline Bras

Plus sized bras are basically the same longline bras made for larger women.  However, because of the longline design, plus size longline bras are also more accommodating in the torso section and may have more padded support in the shoulder straps.  The longline style is popular for larger women because the bra inherently has extra support built-in for the back and shoulders.

Posture Support Longline Bras

A posture support longline bra has several design differences that help provide extra support in the upper back and shoulders.  Most posture bras have a criss-cross stretch band design in the back to help pull your shoulder blades in and encourage better posture.  The longline version often has extra support panels to provide extra support along the torso.  Because of this, these bras are more functional and may not always be as flattering as some of the other longline bras.  However, these bras can be very comfortable for long daily use, especially for those women who tend to sit for long periods of time.

General Longline Bras

All other longline bras are of the generic variety.  They are usually strapped with rear closures but front closure designs are available as well.  These are not as elegant as the strapless versions, but are useful in many more different situations.  A simple web search will turn up hundreds, if not thousands of these styles.
