A girl can never own too many bras, right?
But with so many bra options to choose from, it’s easy to go wrong and wear a bra that’s the incorrect size or style for your body type.
Want to enhance your feminine curves – without wasting money on bad bra purchases?
In this post, I share how to flatter and feminize your body with the 7 best bras for trans women and crossdressers.
1. Pocket Bra
A pocket bra, or mastectomy bra, has pockets in the cups to hold breast forms securely in place. If you wear breast forms (especially large or heavy forms), a pocket bra is a must.
2. Front Closure Bra
Crossdressers and transgender women tend to have wide rib cages and/or widely spaced breasts. This can make it hard to find a bra that fits properly.
Enter the front closure bra. Front closure bras have a clasp in the front of the bra instead of the back. These bras have wider set cups, making them easier to fit.
3. T-shirt Bra
The t-shirt bra is every girl’s best friend. It’s a seamless, molded cup bra that’s designed to look smooth under your clothes – even the most form-fitting tee. Best of all, t-shirt bras come in a wide range of sizes.
4. Convertible Bra
A common complaint I hear from crossdressers and transgender women is that many bras have straps that aren’t long enough for them.
Convertible bras offer a perfect solution. Convertible bras have removable straps that can be worn in different ways – including crisscrossed. Because of this, they have longer straps than regular bras.
5. Balconette Bra
Balconette bras have cups that are cut horizontally across the bust. This is a beautiful cup style that’s particularly flattering to wide rib cages and/or wide set breasts.
Most balconette bras are padded, so they’re also great for giving “the girls” some extra oomph.
6. Wireless Bra
Underwire bras offer maximum support, so they’re ideal if you wear breast forms. However, they can be hard to fit if you have a wide chest.
Consider wearing a wireless bra instead. Wireless bras have a more forgiving fit, so they’re much more comfortable.
If you want to wear a soft cup bra with breast forms, look for a wireless pocketed bra or attach the breast forms to your chest with tape or adhesive.
7. Adhesive Bra
Adhesive bras are a backless, strapless bra style that’s attached to the breasts with adhesive.
These bras are fabulous for creating cleavage, so they’re a must for your femme wardrobe. (Click here to learn more about how to create cleavage with an adhesive bra.)
In conclusion
While you don’t need to limit yourself to these 7 bra styles (the sky’s the limit in bra land!), they’re a great place to start.
Now I’d like to hear about YOUR favorite bras. Is there a particular bra style or brand that works for you?

I now have size C cup breasts and have been wearing women’s clothes exclusively for nearly four years. My favorite bra, and every day bra, are the Glamorise Magic Lift Bras. They provide a nice lift and shaping for my breasts. Here I am wearing a size 42C Glamorise Magic Lift Bra.
Are your breasts natural? If so, did you use estrogen to grow them? I am curious because my A cup is due to estrogen and am hoping for a lot larger breast development.
I have a ton of bras, but I guess I love my pocket bras the most. I wear a 40C bra and my breast forms fit perfectly in these bras. Plus they make me feel so much like a woman! I love them! Here I am today in the changing room at Macy’s trying on a couple of dresses. What do you think?
I have been wearing the Leading Lady brand for well over a decade, and have been very happy with them. The Style # 5028 Uderwire T-shirt bra and # 5024 Wirefree T-shirt bra are padded just enough to smooth out my form without being overly obvious about it. And the Scalloped lace line of bras from them are by far my favorite bras made by them. I can feel feminine when I’m wearing a lace bra without shouting out to the world that I am wearing a hot, black lace bra under my gray t-shirt. And this brand carries the large band, small cup size bras that a lot of crossdressers have difficult time finding.

I have all of those, and it really depends on what clothes I wear, as to what bra I choose …….

Hi Lucille,
I have a good selection of most types of bra’s but my favourite one is a front fastening bra, it fits so well and makes me feel special.
Love all the advice you give to us Tgirl’s. xx
I have many styles of bras. My favorite is padded T-Shirt bras. I am very slim luckily lol and have small breasts. Thanks for all your advice and tips. Now that l am retired and live alone l dress pretty much all the time and love every minute.
I have a few good bras but prefer to go bra less. It’s sexy and get turned on when my blouse rubs my breasts.
Exactly! the secret is to put on the bra to lessen the sensibility and weight of the breasts. One of the secrets of true femininity. Without a bra I feel at the same time naked and very dressed. Another secret. Conservative ladylike style together with the feeling that my nipples are filled with sweet shudder with every step, every movement.
