Q&A for How to Dress With No Bra

Clean it regularly and don't scratch; this might infect the nipples or breasts. If you wear the same bra every day without washing it, it can get germs and bacteria in it and cause infections.

You shouldn't worry at all! Not everyone needs or wants to wear a bra! Bras are completely optional at your age. If you have a larger bust, you might want to consider trying out a real bra, but if your boobs haven't started growing yet or have grown just a little bit and you want to start wearing a bra, go with a cute training bra, which you can get basically anywhere!

Sometimes, if the bra straps are pretty, not tatty and you don't mind the odd match between the bra and the dress. Most times it's easier to just get a strapless bra for a strapless dress as it will look more attractive as a whole.

You might want to wear a training bra or a sports bra if you feel uncomfortable, but otherwise, don't sweat it. You don't have to hide while changing. You've all got the same parts.

There are bra options out there for wearing with backless dresses. You can ask about them at the store you bought your prom dress at, or you can look online for backless bras.

If your chest is tiny, you might not have to worry. If you are still worried, you could wear a tank top, camisole or tube top.

If you feel comfortable, you can wear this top without a bra. If you're worried about your nipples showing through, you can try wearing pasties or nipple covers underneath instead of a bra.

Wear a nipple cover. It will add support to the area, and you will not feel self-conscious.

Try pasties, they'll cover your nipples and since they're the color of the skin, you won't see anything. You can also just wear a white or nude bra, which is what most people do. Or you could wear a white/nude tank top underneath the shirt. It's really not a big deal if you can see the outline of your bra; that's what is expected with a see-through shirt.

You can buy nipple covers in a variety of colors, although you may have to search online. You can also get creative and buy various colored tape at an art supply store, then cut your own to suit your needs.

It can help to wear a more structured top instead of a flowy one for this; try thick/heavy materials in the winter, and structured tops in the summer (like bustiers). You'll know that the top or dress has a structured shape when on the hanger it has a shape of it's own (without you wearing it), or most of the time, by just feeling the material of the shirt.

Try to tell yourself that it's your comfort that matters. You might have to ease into at first until you get used to having no bra or a light bra. Try wearing bralettes to start with, then move to nipple tape or covers or layering clothing so you don't have to be as self-conscious.

Some bras that have underwire are push up bras, but not every bra that has underwire is a push up bra.

You can find cheap, inexpensive strapless bras basically anywhere. If you feel the need to splurge to get a better strapless bra, you're welcome to once you feel more comfortable.

Wear a structured garment or use fashion tape for support.

You could wear nipple pads, which you can get for really cheap on Amazon.

No. The built in cups should be enough support. If the dress allows, you can wear a camisole underneath, if needed.

Some studies say that wearing a bra can cause sagging. However, it is not permanent and breast development will not be affected.

A sports bra or training bra would help.

If you really need to wear a bra, try a boob tube without padding or get a bra that fits correctly. A sports bra is often a great option for those who dislike wearing underwire bras. Or, if you're comfortable enough, try to go bra-less.

Wear a pullover over it, or a shirt with 2 pockets in front (I've worn a short-sleeved shirt over a long-sleeved T-shirt. You can also try to find a long-sleeved shirt with 2 pockets in front or use a textured fabric or ornaments in front. A T-shirt with a print in front can also hide you well. It is often better if the clothing is not so tight too.

Yes, as a lot of bacteria builds up during a day's course of wearing the bra, and it will quickly begin to smell if you don't wash it daily.

No, you're not. Some women like to go bra-less, and that often shows their nipples. But that's not appropriate in all situations, so wearing a bra is more accepted for formal events and street-wear.

No. There's nothing wrong with it all. If wearing a crop top makes you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to wear one. You shouldn't be pressured into doing something just because everyone else is. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

It isn't from one specific brand. It is an off-the-shoulder crop top. If you search for crop tops that are off-the-shoulder on sites that sell clothing, you might find one like it.

Try Danskin.
