I was really hoping I would be able to use this for some strapless dresses I recently purchased, but unfortunately the bandeau just doesn't stay in place. It needs some type of grippy material at the top to prevent it from sliding down off your breasts. I wore it around the house under a spaghetti-strap tank top while folding laundry and my breasts popped out of it a few times, despite the fit being perfect and despite me hardly moving around at all. I'm glad I didn't spent too much on it, because the bra is simple not reliable enough to wear in public.
