Join Belle Lingerie’s mailing list before your first purchase for 10% off eligible Wonderbra items at full price. Any Wonderbra item already on sale is excluded, and the welcome saving can’t be used with another promotion. Wonderbra’s Ultimate Silhouette range is a good example of why a bra chosen for a particular outfit needs more than a cup-size check. The collection includes strapless, plunge and backless styles.

Use the strapless page to check what happens at the shoulders

A strapless style is the useful listing if the dress leaves the shoulders uncovered. Look at the band and cup line from the back and front. Check where the top edge of your dress falls before ordering. If you need a lower front as well, compare the strapless cut against the plunge listing rather than assuming a bra can solve both neckline questions.

A plunge and a backless bra suit different openings

Start by deciding whether the front or back of the outfit is the harder part to dress. The plunge listing gives you a reference for a lower centre, and the backless listing is where you should check the rear design. Open the exact photos and fastening information. The Ultimate Silhouette name does not tell you what is visible from each angle once the dress is on.

If dressing for a deep front or open back is the reason you opened the the Ultimate Silhouette Plunge Bra listing, judge how high the centre and rear sit beneath the garment before you make a price comparison. Look at the Ultimate Silhouette Backless Bra afterwards, once you know what you would keep or change about the first design. For the Ultimate Silhouette Plunge Bra, find the exact size or option in the description and check whether it matches what is shown in the photographs. The differences between the Ultimate Silhouette Plunge Bra and the Ultimate Silhouette Backless Bra are worth noting if one costs more than the other.

Decide between black and beige after checking the fit

Belle Lingerie has shown the backless style in beige and black. Compare those colours beneath the fabric you intend to wear. A neutral can serve a different purpose from black if the outer garment is pale. Check your measurements against the exact model before ordering, especially if you have previously worn a different Wonderbra style. Try the combination indoors while keeping the tags in place.

To choose between the beige Ultimate Silhouette backless option and the black Ultimate Silhouette backless option for choosing a bra for the colour and fabric of a particular outfit, check how the colour and shape show through the dress before comparing their prices. Decide whether you need the version pictured on the the beige Ultimate Silhouette backless option listing or an alternative variant. For the black Ultimate Silhouette backless option, open the details rather than relying on where it appears in the catalogue. The feature you are looking for in the beige Ultimate Silhouette backless option may sit differently on the black Ultimate Silhouette backless option.

If the Wonderbra design you’ve selected is already reduced, compare its checkout price with a full-price option that would suit you equally well. Only the qualifying full-price Wonderbra option can take the welcome discount. Check the Belle Lingerie discounts alongside Wonderbra if you have more than one item on your shortlist and want to see which saving fits the order.
