This has been one of the hottest summers I’ve spent in the city. I’ve finally given up trying to fight it, and I just roll with whatever temperatures come my way by wearing tons of breezy little dresses like this one.
I really love the look of one-shoulder dresses, but they can be tricky to pull off for the well-endowed. If you don’t get the right fit (and wear the proper support), you can easily look lopsided… and that kinda kills the whole greek goddess vibe you were trying to convey.
When that happens, there are two tricks to keep up your sleeve (or should I say under your shirt). One is to wear one of those bustier-type contraptions that provide way more support than a regular strapless bra. Wanna go more minimalist? Try one of those convertable bras with the clear plastic straps (they’re better at staying in place than cotton or satin). You can arrange them every which way, including just using one strap and crossing it to the opposite side in the back which is perfect for one-shoulder dresses like this.
As I said in my About Me page, there have been way too many advances in undergarment technology for the “ladies” to ever go out not looking their best!
