Going bra-less after breastfeeding

I recently stopped breastfeeding my firstborn and now my breasts sag a bit. I have a bunch of summer dresses that I used to wear without a bra because I think seeing bra straps is tacky. Now after breastfeeding there's just too much drooping. I've tried a strapless bra, but it ends up going down to my waist as the day progresses and a couple of the dresses can't have a bra because of a low back line.
Any suggestions on how to get my breasts back up? |

Why? What is it about the question that doesn't add up? Should I post in a different forum? |

OP, about a year after weaning, my breasts did get a little firmer and less "pillowy", but they didn't go back up. You may want to wait to go bra shopping for a bit longer.
But you may not be able to wear those dresses anymore. Some clothes will never fit the same after pregnancy/breastfeeding. |

As a D cup, I've had these issues my whole life. Some dresses are just made for smaller chested women!
I think you either need a breast lift or just don't wear those dresses anymore. |

| see a surgeon about a lift, maybe. |

| OP here. Thanks for the responses. I guess I was hoping there was a product out there that could lift a bit and be small enough to be discreet. I read somewhere that models use duct tape on the cat walk, but that didn't work all that well for me. |

| Depends how small you are. I'm B cup and my boobs also not so perky anymore after nursing. You can try those sticky cups or backless strapless sticky bras. I just wear sports bra or a bra that has straps in the same color as the dress so it kind of looks like the dress has double straps. |

| Use medical tape, not duct tape. Two pieces on each side that together form the shape of an underwire |

| Get a smaller band size on your bra. No grown woman should go braless in public. |

| ^^^ 32 D here and a proper strapless bra fitting makes a huge difference. I used to think that those types of dresses were not an option any longer and then a "bra specialist" ordered me the correct size. Huge difference!!!! |

| Also, give yourself some time. If weaning is a recent thing, you may be less saggy. But I have to tell you having a kid and age do a lot of things to your body. |

| Get fitted for a strapless bra that works with your current boobs. If that still doesn't work with the dresses, you can't wear the dresses anymore. |

| What about a bra with convertible straps (to racer back, t-back)? |
