How to correctly take your measurements for a plus-size bra?
For a fuller bust, the right size makes all the difference. The underbust measurement is taken just below the bust, perfectly parallel to the floor, while the bust measurement is taken at the fullest part of the breasts, without tightening. Combining these two measurements allows you to accurately determine both band size and cup size.
An ill-fitting bra is easy to spot: the back band rides up, the cups overflow or gap, and the underwires may become uncomfortable. Unsure? Getting professionally measured in-store can be the best solution.
Which bra styles are best suited for fuller busts?
Certain cuts are particularly well suited to generous busts. Balcony or demi-cup bras reveal more of the upper bust and create a more rounded cleavage.
Padded or push-up styles help shape the bust and enhance the cleavage, while still providing proper support.
With or without underwire: which is best for a fuller bust?
Underwired bras are often preferred for their ability to structure the bust and evenly distribute its weight. They provide excellent support and a more lifted silhouette, especially for cup sizes E, F or G.
On the other hand, wireless bras focus on softness and freedom of movement. When well designed, with supportive linings and a strong underband, they are perfectly suitable for relaxed days or moments of rest. Alternating between both allows you to adapt your lingerie to your daily routine.
Which details ensure comfort and support?
A comfortable bra for a fuller bust relies on specific features:
● wide, adjustable straps to reduce pressure on the shoulders,
● a stable back band that stays perfectly horizontal,
● a center gore that lies flat against the chest, indicating a proper fit,
● pleasant materials such as microfiber, cotton or lined lace.
