With so many bra styles and options, there’s no wonder so many full figure women get confused and either wear a wrong fit bra or don’t know what type of bra best suits their body shape. There are several key features that flatter different body shapes, here’s a list with the top 5 plus size affordable bra choices that stand for great fit, comfort and beautiful cleavage. Obviously, this list is not set in stone and we’d love to hear your comments with your own favorite plus size bra style choices.
Style 1. The Full Cup Bra
Ideal for full figured ladies with a fuller bust, the full cup bra offers excellent support. Designed for excellent comfort, the full cup bras usually have a three section cup for increased capacity, stronger side wings for better fit and a side bone for improved control, making them perfect for every day wear.
Style 2. The Soft Cup Bra
When wires are not a reliable option, a soft cup bra is the lingerie piece to rely for maximum comfort and support. Most sport bras are in this category. Great for curvy women, nursing mothers, fuller bust teenagers and ladies who have undergone surgery, the soft cup bra is easy to care as it’s machine washable and an essential for your lingerie drawer.
Style 3. The Balcony Bra
Probably one of the most common bra styles in lingerie, the balcony bras are fantastic plus size options that showcase your sexy neckline and cleavage, especially when you’re wearing a lower cut top. Try out one of the following brands for excellent uplift and the perfect support for your curvaceous features.
Style 4. The Moulded Bra
A God sent gift for any fitting garments, as they create an effortlessly smooth shape, the moulded bras are another excellent choice for full figure ladies. The greatest thing about this bra style is its flexibility, allowing you to pick either the rigid foam mould style for more uplift and contour or the softer style for a more natural shape look. Either way, you should make room for at least one of these in your bra collection.
Style 5. The Strapless Bra
There are people claiming that strapless bras are not an option for full figured women. They couldn’t be more wrong, EVERY woman should own at least one strapless bra. Fantastic for summer wear, a strapless bra couldn’t be more versatile and useful, providing natural shape both on special occasions and on every day basis. Pick a three section cup one for increased capacity, to keep your assets exactly where you want them without giving up to a beautiful uplifted cleavage.
As bonus, for your sexy side, you should seriously think about adding a lacy, shelf bra to your lingerie drawer. It will add a sophisticated, burlesque feeling to your ‘no bra’ look, without compromising on support or uplift.
Hey, great selection! although for the bonus I’d swap the shelf bra for a plunge bra. As both both are rough to wear by bustier gals. Most of them would have better chances finding a Plunge bra that flatters them than a shelf bra, as bigger/heavier breasts are not always as firm as we would like to :)
A plunge bra can come in pretty handy when worn with low cut tops or dresses and feeling adventurous enough to show a nice cleavage ;)
Freya bras have a wide category of plunge bras specially designed for bigger cup sizes :)
