Half cup, balconette, bustier… What are the different bras?

Bra:a matter of morphology?

Whether you have a small chest or on the contrary a large chest, there is a wide variety of models adapted to your morphology. It's all about knowing! An important step:the fitting. Don't buy a bra without trying it on! This rule is all the more true if you have a strong chest or a large chest size. Once you have learned how to measure cups and bust sizes and how to adjust your straps, you can buy without going to the cabins. This is because most women are unaware of their true bra size. This data is however essential to find a model that you will like to wear! If you think you don't know your cup size or bust size, follow the guide to choosing the right bra.

What is a demi-cup bra?

Now that you know your real bra size, you can choose a model. A demi or balconette bra? It's the same thing. With its straps placed on the side of the breasts, it leaves the entire top of your breasts uncovered. Ideal for wearing a beautiful neckline without wanting to overdo it. What do you expect from your bra? Comfort, discretion, seduction? Padded, molded and underwired bras provide comfort and naturalness. These are the most worn on a daily basis. For cups A to B, triangle bras, bustiers or crop tops allow you to combine light support with a fashionable touch. They are so cute that they are the envy of big breasts! From a D cup, there's no question of skimping on support. Occasionally, generous breasts can move towards balconies. Otherwise, your back and chest could suffer from this lack of support. The high-maintenance or minimizing models remain the most suitable for everyday use.

A bra to go with my top or my dress

Racerback, bandeau, multiposition and self-adhesive bras are the allies of your evening outfits but also of your little summer tops. Whatever the shape, there should be a model to match. Want to enhance your chest? Opt for a push-up/push-up bra with or without padding to increase the volume of the breasts or simply give them more plumpness.
