• Wearing a plunge top or dress, you should go for a push-up or a plunge bra and show your beautiful curves • A strapless top needs a strapless bra. No worries: The right strapless bra stays up as long as you do, also in bigger cups! • A balcony bra or bandeau bra with wide-set straps is perfect for a top with a wide neckline.
