The Convertible Strapless Bra: Tricky To Manuever But A Must-Have

The bra.

Love it or hate it, we just need to wear one most of the time. And since it is summer with lots of bare skin fashion, you need a great bra that instantly hides the straps + offers up solid support

So let's put down the hood and talk about the CONVERTIBLE.

That's right ladies, the convertible strapless bra. And if you don't own one, well, you need one. It is a must-have.

Here are a few interesting bra nuggets:

1. Did you know that the most popular bra size here in the U.S. is a 36C?! Hmmm, well, we certainly got robbed.

2. Did you know that a woman should own 3-5 everyday bras, according to fit expert for Vanity Fair, Tiffany Aschenbrenner.

3. Did you know that you also need a high-impact sports bra and a convertible strapless number for special occasions?

4. Did you know that the smart thing to do, is rotate the bras throughout the week? "This will minimize stretch and extend a bra's life from regular wear and tear," Tiffany told InStyle magazine.

5. Did you know that when it comes to caring for bras, we've been told that hand-washing is better than machine-washing?.

Getting back to the convertible strapless bra, we attempted this morning to fashion ours into the criss-cross style to hide our bra straps from a top with cut-in shoulders. We struggled, dork that we are. It took some adjustment, but the convertible is a clever bra, and works!
