BRA SHAPES & STYLES

Perfect for giving that uplifted cleavage look. The Plunge Bra is great for pushing your breasts together for a fuller look, whilst keeping you supported from the centre. Ideal for low cut tops and dresses. |

Keeping fit is great for your health but you need proper support. When doing physical activities you will really feel the benefit of a sports bra - strong, comfortable, supportive and with padded straps for comfort. The full cup coverage shapes your bust without compression. Most sports bra come wire free. However, if you prefer wired, more traditional styles are still available. |

Many of our customers prefer wire-free Bras or benefit from this style where they need less support. Perhaps they suffer from sensitive skin or have had breast surgery. But underwire doesn't mean no support! Built-in structure, often used side slings, carefully placed seams, and inner engineering create support and lift, even for fuller bust sizes. So a wire-free bra still offers light and gentle support for comfort whilst making you look and feel great. In fact, some even use them to make a fashion statement! |
