Our school is having our semi on Friday and I am planning on wearing a black strapless dress, made out of a thin jersey material. I am very small chested (32AAA or 32AA) and do not need any support from the bra. However, my nipples do poke through the material of the dress, which I think is trashy and want to prevent that. I don't even own a strapless bra! Could I just wear a regular bra (training bra or one with cups) and pull the straps down?

I also have small breasts so I know where you kind of wonder what's the point in buying a strapless bra that you'll use just once for that occasion. However, there are some really great convertible bras out there--they change from strapless, to demi, to racerback. You can find these practically anywhere and they are very inexpensive. Another alternative you can check out whenever you are in the lingerie/underwear department of a store is the adhesive breast forms--they are usually silicone based and they stick to your skin, giving a little lift for a slightly larger bustline. As for a regular bra, that wouldn't be comfortable NOR would it be giving the "good vibes" if it fell down in the middle of night. I hope this helps!

So, you may not need a real strapless bra - but that doesn't mean that a regular bra can do the job. If you're afraid of nipple show-thru, try a product like Fashion Forms' Petals which totally work (truth be told medical tape works as well - and in both cases the tape may show thru dark or lightweight fabrics...if you go with the medical tape try to find some in clear or in a color that matches your skin color)...another option is to wear a bandeau bra (Calvin Klein's is both comfortale and affordable) - which is just a stretchy band that would probably work perfectly fine for you.

Don't bother with a bra unless you are wanting to add some padding to boost your size up, you can purchase nipple covers they are like a band aid that cover your nipple so they don't stick out the ones i saw came in a flower shape and you should be able to buy them from a bra store (if your in Australia i saw them at "brasnthings") Definitely don't wear a straped bra with the straps down it will look bulky under your dress. Have fun at your formal.

You think that your nipples poking through you dress is trashy. Wearing a dress that is strapless and a bra that isn't, is real trashy. Try some bandaids.

Don't just pull the staps down that would ook bad and all bumpy so just ask your mom or who ever or go buy a strapless bra yourself! seriously u will feel much more comfortable because if you just pull them down they may pop back up and u shouldn't have to even worry about that. because dont u think it would be embarassing if a bunch of boys and everyone else saw that your bra was showing!!!!!!?

im kind of small chested too, so i bought a bra that has a type of glue on the inside of the straps. it helps keep the bra up. its not really glue but more of a rubber to stick to your skin. also get the smallest size you can so it wont fall down.

Okay, when I was a teen and wore a shirt or dress that had no straps, I would put tape on my nipples down so they didn't poke out. It's cheap, easy and it really works. Sounds weird but I was poor...geez!

There are little patch type things that have adhesive on one side that is for covering just the nipple. Or you could use medical tape or a band-aide, either round ones or a strip type one. If you use a band-aid, make sure you get good quality ones so they don't lose their adhesion. That is all I can think of. Good luck.

I would not do that, chances are it will start sliding down. It is not meant to stay up on its own, and not only that but you will probably be able to see the straps through the dress.
