Describes a piece of clothing — almost always a woman's dress, top, or bra — that has no straps going over the shoulders. It sits on the body and stays up by itself, held by a tight band around the chest.

Describes形容的是 a piece of clothing一件衣服——almost always a woman's dress, top, or bra幾乎都是女生的洋裝、上衣、或內衣——that has no straps going over the shoulders沒有跨過肩膀的肩帶。It它 sits on the body就這樣貼在身上 and stays up by itself自己撐著不會掉，held by a tight band around the chest靠胸口一圈緊緊的布固定住。

You will see it most often in shops and in talk about weddings and parties: a strapless gown, a strapless bra, a strapless top.

You will see it most often你最常看到它 in shops在店裡 and in talk about weddings and parties還有講到婚禮、派對的時候：a strapless gown, a strapless bra, a strapless top無肩帶禮服、無肩帶內衣、無肩帶上衣。

The word only tells you about the shoulders; a strapless dress can be long or short, plain or fancy.

The word這個字 only tells you about the shoulders只告訴你肩膀的部分；a strapless dress一件無肩帶洋裝 can be long or short, plain or fancy可以是長是短、可以樸素可以華麗。

People sometimes use it for other things that are missing their strap — a strapless watch, a strapless bag — but that use is much rarer and usually means the strap broke or came off, not that it was designed that way. There is no real feeling of good or bad in the word; it is a plain description, though in fashion writing it often carries a small sense of elegant or dressy, because strapless clothes are usually for special days.
