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?

This one is also from Walmart, called Secret Treasures. It’s lightly padded with an underwire. I would like to try more of a high end brand. But if I do, I may not ever buy the cheaper brands again. That’s my excuse…actually, at this point I can’t afford such luxuries. But, this bra is comfortable, so I’m not sure that they have to be on the high end side to be considered a good bra. As long as it fits well and is not itchy or digging into me in places, I’m happy.
Hi Valerie, the browser is Safari. I hope that’s the question your asking. Only limited computer understanding here.
Hi Valerie! Mine too, no pics for a long time. This is an Apple. Doesn’t seem to have any other issues.
Thanks for letting me know Morgan. What browser are you using, chrome, etc?
Hi Morgan,
I enjoy seeing your posts and pictures as they are always lovely, tasteful and down to earth. (Unfortunately for the last month I’m not seeing ANY pictures on this site)
I own numerous bras, 100+(38C mostly), of most brands and styles and yet my goto daily wear for work is almost always a Maidenform T-shirt bra. I wear my VS, Lily of France, Fredericks, etc to make me feel sexier, but it is only a mental thing. I find most of the lingerie I buy from walmart pretty/sexy, affordable, comfortable and durable. The bra I chose to wear with this gown was a $2 walmart clearance. I hope the picture posts.
Hi Jenny! I’m sorry to hear that you are not able to see any pictures. What device are you using to browse through?
It looks great on you
Thank you, Karen!
i love wearing front closure bras.
i love wearing front closure bras.
Most of my bras are sports bras. Mainly because my body continues to change. I like the look of frilly, lacy types but sometimes they can feel uncomfortable. This is a wireless made by Warner’s. Very comfortable. The Walmart special.
Looks mighty fine on you, Morgan! As did the other one.
Thank you, Billie!
Balconettes for me they really make ’em pop !
