VBLs - Visible Bra Lines

MandaPanda518

How to you prevent these? I have a couple types of bras, and it seems like I always have them. I tried one from VS that was thin and had scalloped edges on the cups, but sometimes you could see my party hats and it also ripped in the middle so it's not very durable.

Can anybody help a girl(s) out?

I wear a tank top under most of my shirts to smooth things out.

You need to wear a bra that is as close to your skin tone as possible. 

I do have one that is very similar to my skin tone, but the issue I'm having is that you can see the ridges on the cups.

Sorry I have no advice, but I really like your use of the term "party hats"

Lol I stole the term from my friend!

It's all about a wide soft back band.

Try searching for "back smoothing" bras.

 

I like the "Bra-lleluja" by Spanx.  Good luck-- back fat is the bane of my existence.

Well, the cups should sit flush with your breast.  If there is room/the ridge sticks out then the cup is too big.  Maybe I just don't get it.  lol

 

I think I am reading wrong too.  For some reason I assumed by VBLs you meant back fat bulges.  I think katem is right-- it sounds like the cup might be too large.

That sounds like it might be the problem. Maybe I just need to get measured again. Thanks!

No worries, I might just check out your suggestion as well. A little smoothing back there couldn't hurt!

Or as close to the color of your shirt.
