At Henkaa, we often have customers who are new to convertible dresses who ask us, “What undergarments for dresses do we wear under this outfit?” The solution? Anything you’re comfortable with! There are enough ways to wrap our signature Sakura dress that you can find a great style that works with any ladies undergarments.

Check out the options below!

 


Undergarments for Dresses: A Regular Bra

One of the stereotypes of infinity dresses that people believe is that you can't wear a regular bra with them. This could not be more untrue. While it limits the ways you can style the dress, there are still plenty of great styles out there that work with a full bra, like this Natalie style with a full kimono sleeve. This style uses a faux-bandeau technique to hide pesky bra straps and band!  

Other more simple styles you can wear with a full bra are the: Katie Style, Victoria Style, and the Kate With Straps.

 


 Undergarments for Dresses: A Bandeau

A great solution for some extra coverage and the support of a bra, is to wear a matching bandeau over your regular bra. Since the bandeaus are made from the same signature Lenaa™ fabric in the same gorgeous palette of colors, they’ll match seamlessly with the dress and leave you with the option of wearing any style. 

This is a great option of undergarments for dresses if you feel most comfortable in your regular bra or prefer a more modest look.

 


Undergarments for Dresses: Butterfly Bra Clips

There are many ladies undergarments options of wearing that dress that work with a normal double strap bra, like the t-shirt Victoria Style, or Kate with Sleeves Style. You can purchase Butterfly Bra Clips online, you can use them to turn any of your favorite bras into a racerback style. By using this clip you can style the Henkaa Sakura convertible dress in many other styles like the faux-bandeau Sonia Style, or cross-back Nancy Style while wearing your regular bra!

No matter what you’re most comfortable with, there’s a solution for every body type and level of modesty.

 


Undergarments for Dresses: A Strapless Bra

A strapless bra is a perfect option if you need a little more support but still want the ability to style the dress in open-back styles! Just make sure the style you choose can cover the back-band of your bra.

One style that we suggest using a strapless bra with is our Love strapless Sakura style. The bra acts as a support for the fabric so it will stay up better. We even encourage you to wrap the first layer of fabric under your bra to keep it from showing.

 


Undergarments for Dresses: An Infinity Bra

With the multitudes of options of styling the straps, sometimes an average bra just won’t do the trick.

Enter, the Infinity Bra— an adhesive bra with a round center clasp that works for secure coverage, and allows you to style with sideless, backless, and strapless styles without any undergarments showing. To many, an adhesive bra is a new concept, but it shouldn’t be intimidating because it works amazingly as a secret styling trick. It sticks firmly and securely for comfortable and seamless wear under convertible dresses. 

Our newly redesigned Infinity Bras feature a unique swivel clasp that allows the cups to be worn at any angle to suit different body types. The bras now come in fabric finishes in nude and black colors and the classic silicone bra will now be available up to an F cup size!
