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?

the smallest bra i’ve wron is a 44’b which i do need right now but i do want to a 44’dd’s.
Marvin: Wearing BRAS is a wonderful feeling ! I wear a 46B/C PLAYTEX BRA ! I would think they would have your size BRA !
If you’ve got a reasonable looking chest try the Genie Bra. I am a 44C and love the lift and comfort without the stress on the girls. For breast form use I use an underwire. There are just so many fantastic bras out there. Love bra shopping!
Great recommendation! Thanks!
The balconette bra pic is beautiful. On my next shopping trip hopefully they’ll have some for me to look at.
There was something called a “sweater bra” which was an underwire and seamless. Those always looked good on me.
Also, bras with cookie pads at the bottom were always good for boosting me up.
Lucille, what is the RED LACE bra you show at the beginning of your blog.
It looks grouse, even if it were in other colors.
But then getting it in “B” cup will be half the fun!.
My favourite is a sheer, seamless bra, sometimes worn with silicone adhesive bra to enhance cleavage. Fenugreek and my medication have given me noticeable 38B breasts so I have dozens of different bras of that size (or I can also get away with 36C). The one that shows me off most is a sports bra! I’ve managed to find Victoria Secret, Valbonne, Calvin Klein and many others. Lovely!
My favorite is a bullet bra which I found on eBay. The seller was “retrogirl”, and often has bullet bras in my size (36B) available at reasonable prices. Another favorite brand is Wacoal. I have several, all underwire in both “convertible” and bandeau styles.
Hello Dorothy,
I just had to comment on your bullet bra! I love the retro bras sand the bullet is one of my favs! Also love the girdles with attachments for stockings.. Once on my body, they feel so sexy and I look so much better! LOL
Hugs,
Marcy
Dorothy, I LOVE your SEXY BRA ! TO me PLAYTEX BRAS are my favorite !
Very nice girls. Can’t wait till mine are like that
Forgot to mention – Thanks to Lucille for Flat 2 Fem! Breasts went from A to nearly B (NB) to full B in about two years. (I am 69 years old, so growth not as fast as it would be for someone younger)
Anybody wants a 36, 38 or 40 A cup bra – go to Roamans or Womanwithin.com. Their Leadylady bras with molded cups come in A size and I wear them every day. So comfortable I often 24-7.

Hi my favorite bras are full coverage bras with under wire. They fit my 38d breasts (which are real by the way). I have several types such as demis, pushups, and even a few strapless types.
