Nordstrom
A front-closure bra with multi-adjustable back straps
Fitted with buttery soft foam cups and a hidden underwire that won't dig into your ribs, this strapless bra is unique in that it features two adjustable back bands: one to tighten the under bust and the other for adjusting the top bust along the cup line. It has a front closure, is available in three colors and has specialized fitting so refer to the sizing chart to find your perfect fit.

Promising review: "My boobs are small but because of their shape and fullness on the sides it’s really hard to find the right bra. I either have to go a size up which makes a gap in the cup area, or a size down which suffocates me. I tried this on and got teary eyed, it’s so comfy and I feel so confident!" — HQuick, Nordstrom

Amazon
A multi-way push-up
Wear this demi bra six different ways using the detachable straps and enjoy a stay-put wear thanks to the secure "power-band" that claims to prevent shifting and slipping. It also provides a customized lift that's proportionate to the cup size and comes in three basic colors. It's available in sizes 32A-38D.

Promising review: "I have purchased so many bras from Amazon and had to sent them back because of the fit or lack of. This bra is amazing. I can be a 34 A or B or a 36 A or B depending on the make and model of the bra. I bought a 36 A and it fits perfectly!!! Finally! I just ordered it in white and may go back and order more since you have to strike while the irons hot since models change so quickly or sell out. I love this bra. I'm small chested so the little bit of padding at the bottom of each cup gives me a nice rounded look that I wouldn't normally have. There is silicone going around the back band and it comes with straps so it can be worn with or without. Don't hesitate to order this one!" — Jennifer, Amazon

Amazon
A backless adhesive bra
When the occasion calls for a backless dress or dramatic top, this reusable adhesive bra can give you the perfect amount of coverage and cleavage. The molded silicone cups come with skin-safe adhesive that remains ultra-sticky after wear when you rinse and air dry after each use. The clear front-closure buckle helps create a lifted push-up effect and the cut of the cups means you can wear this even with deep plunging necklines. It come in one size, with a pair of adhesive nipple covers, too.

Promising reviews: "I’m so glad I purchased this to wear with sleeveless and spaghetti strap dresses and tops. It’s so easy to clean (I just rinse off and dry afterwards then stick the film back on) and easy to take traveling. I’m a 34B so maybe this works better on a smaller chest and I can’t speak to how this works on larger chests, but I will say that strapless bras have NEVER stayed on for me and are so uncomfortable, whereas this is the only thing that’s worked for me!" — Patricia Priestley, Amazon

"Truly I love this thing, perfect for girls with smaller titties." — Wayne Nora, Amazon

Promising review: "This is honestly my favorite bra. I often wear it when I don't need a strapless bra because I LOVE the shape it gives me in all my clothes. I have been wearing it for years. Wacoal discontinued it for 2-3 years and I was lost without it. I just found it again and I bought four and it's even better than before. It stays put, it's comfortable and it offers the shape and support of a good soft cup bra, where other bandeau bras can't compete. It is perfect for silky little summer tops and dresses. I ordered my usual bra size of 36B and the fit is consistently true to size." — KimandJerryH, Nordstrom
