Backless or low-cut dresses may be stylish and sultry, but no matter how pretty your bra, a band poking out from that plunging back will drag your sex appeal down. Don't give up on sporting a scoop-back style -- strap on a foundation garment enhancement that will keep everything contained without showing the room what you keep beneath your clothes. Convert your favorite bra to fit your dress's scooped shape with an extension bra strap, or low back extender, that matches the hook and eye closures of any bra.
