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?

Hi Lucille well at this moment in time I do wear a nice sexy bra with my breast forms and I have a 38D as I believe that for my 1.68m and 78kg size 16 I think its good for me .

So why are crossdresser’s and transgender women put in the same sort of category with these? Let’s just add more to the confusion and deposition that everyone has towards us transgender women why don’t you. Make a bra for crossdresser’s and us women that are transgender will get bra’s that are made for women.
I have a lovely black bra with adjustable straps I think the straps make it much more sexy
The one bra that I adore and the one not mentioned , is the T shirt padded push up bra ! These have great underbust padding and easily enhance small breasts , plus they are low cut .
lots of great pics and comments.
I do not in reality have a favorite make but do have a favorite bra that allows the straps to be manipulated so I can wear normal, strapless and halter neck. This gives so much versatility so can where with lots of outfits and it is comfortable and nude color.
Also have open cup bras, underbust corset which really shows off my assets so need to be careful what I wear with it.
Kate: You look great ! crossdressing is so much fun ! wearing a BRA is the best thing about CDing !
If someone’s beat me to this one I apologize, but the front-closure bra is also good for driving your S.O. temporarily crazy as they fumble with your backstrap looking for the hook(s)! That was done to me once a long time ago, and we both had a good laugh. Not sure if she did that on purpose or it just came up in the rotation…. 🙂
I just love Chantelle Bras they Make me Look and feel like a Woman..
