What We Don’t Love: Due to the lace portion, you’re required to hand wash the bra which can become tedious. In terms of hardness, sapphires are second only to diamond; meaning they are one of the hardest substances on earth. This makes them incredibly hard-wearing and suitable for most types of jewellery settings, great for wearing for any occasion. The Sapphire is known to be a guiding gem, warding off ill omen and the Evil Eye. 8 – Mme de Genlis The band comes with four different lengths with hooks, which is one more than most bras, to give us a little more freedom to customize the length to our bodies. And while it never felt too tight or painful, we did notice some markings on the skin from where the band and boning were as well — though we have to say, that’s not that uncommon with strapless bras that rely on tight, supportive bands to hold everything up. Strapless bras are crafted to stay in place already, using bonings, silicone straps, and a lightly tightened band, so there is no need to size down. Iris Clarke, professional bra fitter and founder of Iris Lingerie Brooklyn, also explains that “strapless bras fit differently than a regular bra in the band size,” so there’s no need to go an extra size down. The wires within the bra also help keep the bra up, she continues. Bra fitting expert Margo Hall from the Bra Spa also recommends “starting with your usual bra size and adjust as needed.”Almost every bra, including all the options mentioned above, have some percentage of elastane in them. This is what helps the bra stretch and mold into the body. The stretchy material (also sometimes referred to as spandex) is then combined with a soft fabric, like nylon, or polyester, to provide a sturdy and comfortable bra. Nylon, found in the SPANX Up For Anything Strapless™ Bra and Thirdlove 24/7 Classic Strapless Bra, is mildly more durable and stretchy than polyester, making it a great option for larger cup sizes. Polyester on the other hand dries faster and is less likely to pill, making it a great option for anyone prone to sweating and as a result, washing their bras often. Opt for the Pepper MVP Multiway Strapless Bra or the Soma Enbliss Multiway Stay-Put Wireless Strapless Bra if you fall into this category.

What We Love: We could wear our deepest v-cut shirts and the bra would remain camouflaged underneath it.We had high expectations for our strapless bras: it should fit like a glove, remain in place the entire day without leaving markings on the body, and feel comfortable enough for us to want to wear it.

The supposed adulteress is told to hold the magical Sapphire, and that if they’re guilty the Sapphire will change colour during their trial.
