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?

As you know I am new and excited about the insights and help your site provides. The information you provide on bras specifically the Nubra is awesome. I can’t wait to try. Thank you again
I can’t find one quite like the one pictured in number 2. Does anyone have a link i could use to find it?
I am a beautiful 36dd. I don’t need breast forms because I have the real things. I have to wear under wire bras to support the girls.
Thanks for your tips for selecting correct size of bra. I am a male but having large breasts. Due to my heavy breasts I am wearing bra with wire to have good support but it sometimes hurt me also. I am wearing 42″ D cup. Now I plan to change to some other type as suggested by you.
Thanks for your advice.

I wear Playtex #4693 bras, Size ranges from 44B to 44D, 46B&C, 48B. I wear bras 24/7 365. Also wear other Playtex styles (44C).
A friend gave me a 36b & a 36 c bra that no longer fit her. I tried them on & they fit so well that I cant wait until my breasts fill up the forms!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful tips and programs. I used your breast enhancement program and it gave me enough breast tissue to create cleavage with the nubra trick i also learned here. I used a bit of contour powder on the photo here but other than that it is a VS 38B push up bra (my favorite), 3 sticky bras, and what i was able to develop after 6 months on your program. (p.s. for the other gurls thinking about the program: look into it, but i found the Pueraria Mirifica to be the most effective.)
Thank you again, Lucielle. I tell people about you whenever i can at a Sissy group here in San Francisco.
Cheers!

You look mighty fine Teri.
Again, you look mighty fine! Thank you for sharing the photo.
Thank you, Billie. I am happy to report that in the 5 years + since posting that original photo, i no longer need the sticky bras or the push up bra. (well sometimes, if i want some extra oomph! 🙂 ) The attached is my current size/shape in an unlined lace underwire bra (38B).
I am very happy with the results and would like to thank and credit Lucielle’s Flat2Fem program for getting me started. It was an invaluable resource!
Cheers!

I don’t know if Target in the States have them, but Target here in Australia are selling DECO embroidered padded balconette.
And they’re a great fit!. But getting them in 16B always, that’s something again!.
