Professional StylistIf you don't want to use tape, there are actually stick-on bras that you hook in the front but stick on the sides. They hug you and give you a push-up feel, but they don't have a back. If you have a smaller chest, there are also silicone nipple stickers that can give a bit of support. These are the options that will give you most support and create an illusion of wearing a bra without the bra showing.
