The Curvy Divas blog features a great photo of Queen Latifah in sequins and shine. I love that the keyhole in this top comes up high on the chest so you can get the sexy look but still hide your strapless bra.

What bra would go great with this top?

You can worry less about lines because the layer of sequins over the fabric will hide bra lines. Thus, you don’t need a seamless or T-Shirt bra. Seamed bras offer added support and cup structure - so it’s nice that this top allows for that.

Masquerade makes the Pearla Strapless Bra. The seamed underwire has molded cups covered in luxurious tulle with scalloped lace trim. The cups are lined to prevent nipple show-through, but they are Demi cups - not full coverage - with satin trim along the bustline. The non-stretch center gore offers additional support. Adjustable straps are included. It is a champagne color (pinkish nude) with full figure sizes D, DD, E, F, FF and G.

Va Bien offers an ultra-lift strapless bra available in full figure bra cup sizes B, C, D, E (DD), F and G cup sizes in black or nude. It is a seamless option, so you may get more use out of it with other tops and dresses. Light silicone on the inside helps it stay up. It looks like a squiggly line of clear nailpolish on the inside of the bra band. This bra is convertible to halter and strapless - matching adjustable straps included.

Note: This bra is in the “Bridal” line.
This bra comes in black, white or nude with “Power net” fabric on back for anchorage/control. The adjustable straps can be used in 2 slots on the back wings of the bra - choose the inner position to prevent straps slipping off your shoulder and to provide additional support. Or you can cross the straps.

Silhouettes, a plus sized online store, has a great satin dress that will offer the same shine without the need for a strapless bra. We love the hot aqua color! The criss cross of fabric on top and side shirring draw attention away from the bustline.With this dress, and other satin dresses, choose a seamless bra because too many lines under the satin will ruin the look. The Goddess Smooth Simplicity line has a seamless (non-strapless) bra. It comes in sizes C, D, DD, DDD, G and H. Things I love about this bra:

Great price!

Padded straps for shoulder comfort

Puncture-resistant underwire channel - so bones don’t poke out in 3 months of wear.

Smooth leotard back wings that taper in width from 5 inches to 1 ¼ inches.
