Different Bra types explained
Full Cup Bra
Exactly as it says - usually a 3 part cup to support a fuller bust (most
often found on bra's with a D cup or above).
Balconette Bra
This is a half cup bra - the cups are designed and cut to create a
horizontal bust line. Fashionable and flattering
Soft Bra
This is a bra without wires - more flexible and more comfortable for some
ladies who cannot wear a underwired bra eg;
more mature ladies; ladies who have had breast surgery etc. Excellent for
everyday wear.
Underwired Bra
A bra that has a U shaped wire in the base of the cups - specifically for a
better shape and support.
Moulded Bra
The cups are preformed ie: moulded, and create a soft, natural profile -
excellent for wearing under a close fitting top. Some of these may have the
option for wearing strapless
Seamless Bra / T Shirt Bra
Any bra that has been made in a way that no seams would be visible under a
close fitting top - moulded bra's amongst others may fall in this category
Maternity Bra / Nursing Bra
A bra that has been designed specifically to give Mums or Mums to be
the necessary level of support for their changing breasts during and after
pregnancy. Some are suitable for nursing - they will have a mechanism for
easily dropping the cups for feeding
