One of the top things that women ask for is a bra that will hide their back fat. I have great news for you! We have the solution, and it comes in two parts:
Firstly, a lot of what women think of as “back fat” is actually side breast tissue that isn’t properly pulled into your cup. So instead, it spills out into the sideband or towards your back.
Nearly all customers seeking fittings have band sizes too large and cup sizes too small. The cup should go from the center of your breast all the way around to a little past your underarm. The band should measure the area beneath your bust, with no additional inches added. Ensuring that the cup extends far enough back is crucial for pulling the side breast tissue, commonly referred to as back fat, up and into the front of the cup.
See how getting a bigger cup eliminated all those side bulges!
Secondly, if you still feel like you want something that has more of a smoothing effect, we do have bra styles with wider bands that help provide more back coverage.
Evelyn and Bobbie's Defy is a great, comfortable wireless option that has a phenomenal smoothing effect. The Goddess Sports Bra is also another style with a wide band and good coverage. Parfait's Mia Lace Longline bra is another excellent option for smoothing the back. It’s also very pretty!
If you are looking for a bra with an underwire, the Sculptresse Bliss has a wide band on the sides, and any longline bra will work well too. Strapless bustiers also fall into this category, but they aren't typically intended to be worn as an everyday bra and are more for special occasions. Strapless bustiers don’t usually have as wide of a cup size selection as an everyday bra would either. Most of the time they stop at a UK G or GG (US I or J) cup. However, they do provide a much wider band than most other bras. So if you want something that is back smoothing just for a particular outfit, the Elissa Strapless Bustier, or any other Parfait bustier, would be a good option for you.
If you want a smoothing effect for what’s below your bra band, we have some excellent shapewear options for you! We have a large selection of shapewear by Rago, Leonisa, Evelyn & Bobbie, and Chantelle, all offering shaping and smoothing camis, tanks, and briefs that are particularly effective at smoothing our your back!
