Strapless bras are a beautiful innovation. They offer all the support and style of a traditional bra while letting you wear sleeveless tops and dresses without the hassle of trying to hide your bra straps.
Unfortunately, those with larger chestsstruggle to find a strapless bra that fits right. At ThirdLove, we believe that every woman deserves a bra she loves. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to finding the perfect strapless bra for your body.
Consider the following factors when shopping for a strapless bra for large breasts. Each factor will play a role in how the strapless bra fits and feels.
Your new strapless bra should be comfortable, supportive, and secure. Look for these features in your next bra to ensure it fits well:
To measure your bust size, you will need a soft tape measure. Take two different measurements: your band size and your bust size.
While wearing a non-padded bra, wrap the tape measure around yourself, just beneath your breasts. This is where the band of the bra would sit. Write down the number in inches, rounding up to the next whole number. If the number is even, add two inches to the number. If it’s odd, add three inches. This final number is your bra band size.
Wrap the tape measure around your bust at the fullest point, which is usually right at the nipple. Write down the number in inches, rounding up to the next whole number. To discover your cup size, subtract the final band measurement from the bust measurement. This number corresponds to a certain cup size on Third Love’s sizing chart:

Make sure the strapless bra you buy adequately supports your large breasts.
The number one thing to consider here is the band, which does most of the supporting work. It should be wider than the typical bra band in order to offer the most support.
You’ll also want to ensure the bra has adequate grip. Since your new bra will be strapless, it should have some kind of silicone or rubberized grips to hold it up.
As with any bra, you’ll want your strapless bra to last. Depending on how much you wear it, your strapless bra should be replaced every year or so to ensure the best fit and support.
Opt for higher-quality bras with good stitching, quality seams, and durable materials such as polyester, nylon, or spandex.
