Dare to Go Strapless...

LaneBryant.com.  The Cacique brand is the best strapless bra for plus size I've ever worn. This bra is smooth, fits close to the body and separates the breasts for a very sexy look - no more "uniboob" pointy, strapless bras.  Lane Bryant also has beautiful styles for the holiday from balconettes (A balconette bra lifts and presents the breasts almost as if they are on a 'bra tray' with wide straps and a more straight across, square neckline producing a round, voluptuous, sexy look) to cleavage enhancing, plunge, and bras to wear under anything all in beautiful colors and styles up to sizes 48DDD depending on the style.  This year Lane Bryant has introduced 36C through DDD - great news!  A couple of years ago a plus size woman told me, "I can't believe a plus size woman would want to show cleavage."  What??????  There are definitely times I like to show cleavage.  How about you?
