Not to mention probably near the top of the list of unflattering styles. The only real benefit I could see would be tanning without straps and making tan lines, but otherwise I can't think of a reason to buy, make, or wear one.T.

You might want to try a Freya or Fantasie swimsuit. They make bandeaus with cups in them. But not all chests and bodies really suit them. Gravity over a certain size (not such a big one) or certain age (not such and old one) is a real concern.K-Linenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-21868879625079226952012-08-07T22:16:06.670-04:002012-08-07T22:16:06.670-04:00No. No no no no no.

I think the prevalence of bandeaus on the sale racks tells you that everyone else is as unthrilled by them as you are. There's no way I would wear one for---no, even lying around would get annoying as I would have to hike it up every time I moved. Of course, it's possible that I'm just crotchety, but I've never met a strapless top (that wasn't held up with bones, anyway) that didn't drive me nuts.Tanit-Isis Sewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-28473875864216747732012-08-07T18:29:17.240-04:002012-08-07T18:29:17.240-04:00I definitely could not do a bandeau.

I love the look of the style though - but I definitely think in general it's better suited for smaller busts. But if you can pull it off and you feel comfy wearing one - I say go for it!poppykettlenoreply@blogger.com
