Style Glossary

Bras

Balcony (or Balconette) Bras are a very sexy style with a low neckline and wide set straps lifting the bust to create a corset like appearance. They have less coverage than a full cup bra. This style of bra is guaranteed to give you a subtle yet sexy cleavage.

Full Cup Bras should fully cover the breast at the top and are designed to give more support for the breasts.

Half Cup Bras are typically suited to women with a smaller cup size, it can be difficult to decide what denotes a half cup bra. Generally speaking a Half cup bra should sit just above the nipple and gives approximately three quarters coverage of the breast.

Moulded Bras are made from a single piece of fabric or foam and are seamless. A great style for comfort.

Push Up Bras are a must-have for women that want to enhance their cleavage. These bras are designed to push your breasts inwards and upwards for an impressive wow effect under any plunging neckline.

Strapless Bras are a staple piece in any woman’s underwear draw. The perfect solution for that hot little strapless dress! It is important for them to fit correctly if they are to provide the correct amount of support a woman needs. Too loose, and it won’t give you enough support; too tight and it will pull itself down the ribcage.

Multi Way Bras can be a brilliant solution to wear with particularly tricky tops. Try detachable straps, clear straps and even multi functional straps that can be worn as a halter neck or crossed at the back. The Multiway Bra is very versatile in that it can be worn as a halterneck alone, a halter neck and low back to accompany a similar style dress or top, and also a normal two strap (over the shoulders) with the normal central strap around the back. These bras can be worn under all types and styles of clothing including low back, strapless and off the shoulder items.

Soft Cup Bras do not have any wiring in the cup. They are ideal during pregnancy and also for woman who are larger cup and find it hard to find a good fitting underwire bra. Sports bras also tend to be soft cup designed to reduce breast bounce will still giving great support.

T-Shirt Bras, like moulded bras are generally seamless with a padded exterior. Their thickness ensures nipples are well hidden under that figure hugging white Tee.
