Lets Talk About Layering a Bra Under Your Bodysuit
This is not something that alot of girls think about it but it is an excellent option.
There is actually quite a few different reasons for why some boudie babes layer
a bra under their bodysuit. Not everyone needs to or will want to but there is some
great reasons below for why adding a bra under your bodysuit might be the right fit for you.
Coverage
With boudoir, not all clients want to show nudity. If you fall in love with a sheer bodysuit but
are concerned about top nudity you can layer a bra under it for coverage. Also, some bodysuits
have a very deep cut in the front and the V cut is kinda lose or it goes too much over to the sides
so wearing a layer under the bodysuit will help with coverage.
All three of the examples below are very similar which is one of the main reasons my clients
will layer a bra under a bodysuit. These very deep V bodysuits are beautiful and are just
fine for alot of poses or for personal wearing at home (he he) but for some poses they are
just not quite right and they slide to the side. Adding a bra gives coverage and also it looks
amazing underneath. You can see in all three images that the lace of the bodysuit has slidden
to the sides or center of the chest area. A bra under the bodysuit is a great solution to this
Shape
This can be for any size of chest really. Some girls prefer the shape that a bra will give under
a bodysuit. Especially one that does not have any built in support.
In this example below, Alicia wore a bra under her cotton bodysuit to add that extra shape. We pulled
the strap down for this pose but the shape and support is still there in the bra.
This layered combo was a bit of all three bodysuit situations. This bodysuit was a very wide V so it
did not provide much coverage and it actually kinda went to the side of the chest. So she added
a strappy black bra which added details, shape & coverage.
In this example as well you can see how the bra has given extra shape as the bodysuit does
not have a built in cup or support.
This example below is another perfect example of shape and coverage. This bodysuit had very low coverage in the chest area.
The cut of the lace was a bit short so layered a bra under it worked great to give coverage and shape. As you can see the
lace is different but it really does not matter. It still works amazing. You can see in both photos that
the mismatched does not take away from the outfit.
Add color or details
If you are wanting to add some color you can layer a colored bra under a plain bodysuit to
show some color or you can add a strappy bra to add some details. You don’t really have to worry
about the straps matching up. I would look for a bra that has great details to it if you are
laying it for color or details.
First example my client layered a pink bra under her bodysuit which added a nice pop
of color.
In this photo my client layered a bra that had amazing strappy details on the back of it
which looked great for all the tushie poses. Her bodysuit was a halter top so all of the straps on
the back are the bra.
The back of this outfit worked great as well with the colored bra layered under the black bodysuit
Some things to keep in mind when layering.
– I wouldn’t recommend layered a bra under a bodysuit that also has a built in cup and a back strap.
This can make it quite uncomfortable to have to straps and two bra cups.
– If you are between sizes on the bodysuit and you are planning to layer over a bra
then size up in the bodysuit and then layer with a perfectly fitted bra.
That way you are not adding a layer under something that is already a bit snug.
– Bring your other item with you to the stores. So if you already have the bra or the
bodysuit purchased then bring it with you to try on. If you are wearing a cotton
bodysuit and you want to add shape then you can layer over a every day bra that does
not have alot of lace or details. If you are laying to add details or color then look at the
bras that have fun straps on the back or details on the front. Try your items on together to
see how things lie. It is alright if the straps do not line up. But I would make sure
you are comfortable.
And remember these are just tips and not requirements.
You do not need to add shape or details or coverage to your outfit.
