Many women with a larger bust dread donning a strapless bra. Women either can't find one in their size or, if they do, they are constantly tugging or lifting the bra back into place. But the "Evie" strapless bra by Panache is the answer to big-busted women's prayers.

The bra goes up to a size H cup and effectively lifts and separates, while staying in place due to three rows of hooks and silicone grips. It's the perfect addition to any full-figured woman's wardrobe!
