Bras that Hide Back Fat and Keep You Looking Smooth

Wacoal womens Basic Beauty Contour T-shirt bras, Sand, 36DDD US
Having rolls of back fat pushed up under your bra is not anyone's idea of attractive or flattering. It ruins the line of your clothes, and just plain doesn't look good. Fortunately, there are bras that are especially designed to hide back fat and give your clothing a sleek, flattering look.

What's the secret?

The trick to stopping rolls of fat is choosing bras with wider bands and sides (to keep everything pulled in). Also, bras made with power net and stretchy fabric help minimize back fat and make your clothes look better. Some even add elastic along the band to adjust for a custom fit. Look for words such as "smoothing" or "high sides" and fabrics such as "simplex" or "powermesh."

Back fat can be the result of gaining weight or sagging skin caused by loss of elasticity from aging. Some women try to get a larger band size to compensate. This just makes the problem worse because the band will ride up and push up your flesh. It's also uncomfortable, particularly if you're busty, because the band does most of the work supporting your bust. If the band doesn't fit properly, the bra can't support you correctly.

They don't have to be boring either. These bras come in lots of colors and leopard prints. I've labeled each one with the specific size ranges it comes in, as well as the body type the bra will fit best (full figure, average bust/full bust, large band/small bust).

Full Figure and Full Bust Bras that Hide Back Fat

The high sides and back on this bra minimizes bulges and keeps you looking smooth and sleek. The bra is also completely seamless, so nothing will show through thin or clingy tops. The spacer fabric is much lighter than a normal bra, but still provides plenty of support and shaping.

The only decorations are a bit of picot trim along the tops of the cups and the front of the straps, plus a ribbon between the cups.

It's got an arched center panel which is more comfortable if you carry weight in your stomach. The straps are inset close together, so they won't slip (a good thing if your shoulders are narrow). They also adjust along their full length, making it easy to get a more comfortable fit.

Available in white, ivory, sand, taupe,  navy, burgundy, and black. Sizes 30D-DDD; 34, 36, 38, 40 C, D, DD, DDD, and G; 42-44C-DDD. (full figure/full bust)


Wacoal Women's Plus Size Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra, Persian Red, 34H

Adorned with Chantilly lace for looks and mesh for superior comfort and support, this bra will lift and smooth you all day long.

The sides and back are high, and made of a mesh material that's great for taming unsightly bumps. Boning on the sides adds additional support and prevents the sides from bulging or rolling over.

It also gives you lots of lift and support, even for heavy breasts (up to a US H cup).  The secret is the seaming and the firm fabric, with minimal stretch for greater hold.

The straps are fully adjustable (for a better fit, whether you are tall, short, or somewhere in-between).  The leotard back also helps keep the straps from sliding.

There's a leotard back (U-shaped) so the straps won't slip.  The band runs a bit small, so keep that in mind.

Black, cappuccino, toast, ivory, gray, red, pale blue, and 8 more fashion colors.  US sizes 32D-G, 34D-I, 36, 38, 40 and 43 C-I, 42, 44D-H. (full figure/full bust)

Also comes in a t-shirt version


Bali Women's Perfectly Glamorous Minimizer Underwire Bra, Black Combo,32C

Embroidered cups topped with lace, plus satiny straps and band gives this bra plenty of good looks.  It's a minimizer so it will reduce your projection and help your shirts fit better without button popping or gapping.

The fabric in the band is double-layered to help stop bulges and give you a smoother, more tailored look. A leotard back will keep the straps on your shoulders without slipping.

Since the seams are at an angle, they'll give you a rounder shape, while also providing plenty of lift and support.

Comes in beige, white, black, cranberry, and black/beige.  Sizes 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 C, D, DD, and DDD. (full figure)


Vanity Fair womens Full Figure Beauty Back Smoothing Bra


The sides and back of this bra are exceptionally tall, so it keeps everything smooth and under cover. You won't pop out of it.

Of course, that also means it's not a good option if you have a short torso. It's got a wide center, with a pretty applique, so it's best if you are wide-set.

The cups are seamless, so it won't show under clothing. It is a contour cup, meaning it is shaped, and a bit thicker than a lace bra would be, but not heavily padded.

Comes in beige, black, white, ivory,violet, navy, walnut, pale green, dotted swiss on tan, medium green, and red. US sizes 36-44 C, D, and DD. (full figure)


Average Bust and Large Band Small Bust Bras that Smooth Back Fat


Vanity Fair Women's Full Coverage Beauty Back Smoothing Bra (34B-42D), Wirefree-Beige, 34B

If you'd rather not have the wires, try this wirefree version of the Vanity Fair Beauty Back bra higher on the page. It still gives you smoothing coverage and it's lined to be more comfortable.

Because the cups are seamless, they won't show under clothing or thin tops. And, the straps will adjust along their full length so you can get them just the right size.

Comes in black, white, beige, champagne, lavender, pale blue green, and pale violet. Sizes 34B, C; 36, 38, 40 B, C, D and 42 B and C. (average bust, large band small bust)


LEADING LADY The Brigitte Classic T-Shirt Underwire Bra - Padded Bras for Women - Womens T-Shirt Bras Includes Plus Size (Warm Taupe, 48D)

Support, comfort, and smoothing, all in one bra, with a large range of sizes from large band/small cup to full figure).  It's got no-fuss or lace to show under your clothing, but there's plenty of support under it's sleek exterior.

The secret is powermesh incorporated into both the sides and back to keep you bump and lump-free. It's also got seamless, boned sides for additional support, and smoothing.
 
There's a little padding, but just enough for contouring, not added bulk or size.  Black, white, and toast in US sizes 32D-50G (large band, small cup, plus full figure)

 
Warner's Women's Back To Smooth Wire-Free Lift Bra, Toasted Almond, 36B

A bit of padding on the bottom of the cups gives you lift without a lot of extra bulk.  Its's completely smooth, so nothing will peek out from under your clothing.

The back band is high to iron out bumps and it has a leotard back for stability (and to stop sliding and slipping).  Note that the straps are elastic (so they will stretch), but you can't adjust them.

Comes in almond, black, white, vanilla, pale pink, denim blue, mauve, and teal tone-on-tone print.

Sizes 34A-C, 36A-D, 38B-D, 40B and C. (average bust)



Warner's Women's Cloud 9 Super Soft Underwire Lift Comfort Bra RD0771A, Toasted Almond, 34B
Lightweight and comfortable, with a pad at the bottom for lift (without tons of cleavage). It's got a wide center panel, so it's better if you are wide-set.

The straps are cushioned and the interior of the cups is lined for extra comfort. It doesn't have a band, and the center is arched, so it will be more comfortable if you are short or have a large stomach. (average bust)

Yes, they really mean it when they say Cloud 9!

US sizes 34, 36, 38 B-D and 40C in butterscotch, red, fig, pink, back, almond, and white (average bust)

  1. please show model with some back fat to see if the bra really hides it.
    How can it hide something that isn't there?

  2. Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your message. Bras hide back fat in several ways. The most important thing is to get the right band size (a band that's too large can push your skin up and create bulges). Getting the right size eliminates the bulge.

    Larger sides and taller backs keep the extra skin/fat from bulging out too. It gets covered and spread out instead of popping out the top or sides and causing problems.
