Basques and strapless longline bras are the secret behind off the shoulder dresses. Strapless dresses of the past looked so glamorous yet when we see one being worn today they often look ill-fitting and uncomfortable

Wearing a strapless bra just doesn't cut it when wearing fitted strapless dresses. Choosing a basque or longline strapless bra will shape you from bust to waist and gives your bust far more support than a normal strapless bra.

Strapless dresses aren't uncomfortable so my personal opinion is that women look uncomfortable in them as they're worried about their strapless bra slipping. Even with the technological advances we have today, I've yet to feel secure in one. Wearing a longline which finishes on your waist, or a basque which finishes on your hips, means you can forget about your lingerie and finally have some fun!
