Wrap dresses are universally flattering and endlessly versatile, but they come with a built-in challenge: the V neckline where the fabric crosses over tends to shift and gap throughout the day, potentially exposing whatever you are wearing underneath. The key is choosing support that looks good even if the wrap opens a little.
The Smooth Choice: Sticky Bra
A Sticky Bra is perfect for wrap dresses because it provides lift and cleavage that actually looks good when the V opens slightly. Unlike a traditional bra that shows an ugly gore or underwire through a gaping neckline, a sticky bra presents a clean, natural shape. If someone catches a glimpse of your neckline, they just see skin.
For Extra Security: Add Nipple Covers
If your wrap dress is made of thin fabric, layering Non-Adhesive Nipple Covers under your sticky bra adds an extra layer of confidence. Even if the dress shifts dramatically, you are covered. For wrap dresses that stay well-secured, nipple covers alone might be enough for smaller cup sizes.
How to Wear It
- Apply the sticky bra with the cups positioned slightly closer together than usual. Wrap dresses create a natural V, and you want your support to sit inside that V.
- Wrap and tie the dress. Make sure the wrap is secure -- a tight tie keeps the fabric from gaping.
- Check the neckline gap. Lean forward and look down. If you can see past the wrap, adjust the bra placement inward.
- Use fashion tape on the wrap edge if the V tends to open more than you want. A small piece of double-sided tape where the fabric crosses keeps everything anchored.
Wrap Dress Tips
- True wrap dresses (with a tie) gap more than faux wraps (sewn in place) -- plan your support accordingly
- Jersey wraps cling more and show bra lines, making a smooth sticky bra essential
- Printed wraps are more forgiving than solid colors for concealing what is underneath
Make your wrap dress work flawlessly with the Sticky Bra ($35). All the lift, none of the lines.
