Read on to find out how bra models exist, as well as their functional purpose.
Bra models with names and descriptions
In order to choose the right bra model for yourself and not suffer in the store trying on various styles, you need to familiarize yourself with all sorts of modern options in advance.
Balconette
This bra model has good support from below - a kind of underwire frame. The cups have a low shape and are located at the same level, that is, the upper cut is almost straight. Since, due to the unusual shape, breast support is provided only from the bottom, it is not recommended to choose this bra for women with large breasts. But it is ideal for petite girls. The balconette allows you to wear an outfit with a deep square neckline, and if you remove the straps, you can try on a dress without the top.
Angelica
One of the traditional models, which, by the way, is very similar to a balconette. She also Provides excellent support from the bottom, but thanks to a more closed cup, allows it to be worn by busty beauties. Due to the underwires and cup shape, the bust lifts the breasts towards the center and creates an attractive cleavage. The straps are located at the very edges, so it also works well for low-cut clothing. If necessary, they can also be unfastened.
Push up
For girls with small breasts, a push-up bra is a good option. It will allow you to increase your bust by 1-2 sizes thanks to its unusual design. The magnification effect can be created thanks to:
- foam seals in the cup;
- special inserts made of silicone, foam rubber or other dense material. They are placed in pockets and can be removed from the cups if necessary.
A push-up bra can be worn both everyday and with a festive tight dress or blouse.
Spacer
At first glance, the spacer is a classic-shaped bust. However, it compares favorably with others in terms of the quality of the material. The spacer is made from lightweight, breathable fabric, and the bra is tailored using new 3D technologies, due to which women have the feeling that they are without underwear at all.Among the pleasant functions of this bodice are breathability and quick drying, due to which there is no “greenhouse effect” or a feeling of excessive sweating.
Minimizer
It is designed specifically for women with large breasts. This bra externally reduces the bust, but in reality it only slightly changes its shape, that is, it “gathers” the breasts differently than in a free state. This allows you to look more elegant and neat. The bridge between the cups, the closure at the back, and the straps are wide enough to provide support and reduce strain on the back and shoulders.
Sconce
The bra comes in many varieties, but is usually characterized by the use of openwork fabrics or lace. Support is provided using underwires or elastic under the bust. It is suitable for women who want to look attractive and sexy at any time.
Corbeil
It is believed that it is one of the varieties of the “Angelica” model. Typically, Corbeil has dense cups and bones, but in modern models such a frame may be absent. Due to the dense foam cup, it perfectly collects the breasts towards the center and creates a sexy cleavage. The cut allows it to be worn under clothes with a V-neck.
Bralette
This is a very delicate and girlish lingerie model. It is a bust made of soft fabric or lace, without a frame or special support. They are often sewn even without a fastener., therefore, in such models there is virtually no chance that it will cause any discomfort. Bralette is perfect for young girls, as well as women with moderate shapes.
Plange
The plange bra is an invention of the lingerie industry that allows fashionistas to wear outfits with even the deepest necklines. A special feature of the bust is the structure of its cups: they have a triangular shape, cut off on the inside. This allows you to open the décolleté area and that same cleavage. The bridge between the cups can be either very thin or thick, providing good support, but it can be even lower than the girth under the bust.
This option is well suited for those who want to collect and lift their breasts. However, due to its unusual structure, it is suitable only for those with a breast size of S and above.
Sports
For lovers of an active lifestyle, a special bra has been created that is comfortable for sports even for women with large breasts. This bodice has a number of undoubted advantages:
- Due to the dense but elastic material, it provides excellent support and presses the breasts;
- breathable fabric not only allows air to pass through, but also absorbs moisture that occurs during intense training;
- the bra has no pronounced seams, no underwires or dense cups, so nothing presses or rubs delicate skin;
- comfortable straps do not fall off the shoulders and also help distribute the load.
T-shirt
This bust model is suitable under a T-shirt or blouse, because it does not stand out at all under thin fabric. The cups are round in shape and cover the breasts well. The frame provides support and good shaping for a natural, conical breast shape.
Bando
A bandeau is an unusual bodice without wires, cups or special support, made of dense elastic fabric. Its function is not to give the breasts a fuller shape. He rather presses the bust, thus holding it slightly.Externally, the bandeau is a strip of fabric of various widths. It can be gathered in the center to create the illusion of a cup.
A bandeau bra is good for a girl with small breasts. You can wear it either under clothes, for example, a wide T-shirt or a tank top with large armholes, or as a top for a swimsuit or top, if the model and material allow it.
Transformer
The transformable bra has a comfortable strap design. It allows you to fasten the straps in a variety of positions, due to which the bodice can be worn under a wide variety of asymmetrical clothes.
Option! There are models where you can transform not only the straps, but also the back of the bra. In particular, it can be replaced with a transparent one or secured at the waist level, which will allow you to wear a dress with an open back.
Brasier
This type of bust has fairly open cups, the top line of which runs directly above the nipples. The breasts are formed due to a dense frame of bones and acquire a beautiful rounded shape. Brasier is wonderful suitable for small conical busts. It should be worn under clothes with a deep or wide neckline, because the straps are located at the very edges of the cups.
Vanderbra
The bra of this shape has an absolutely unique cut, thanks to which the breasts acquire very seductive shapes. It is available with or without straps. If they are present, they are located directly in the center of the cup, due to which the center of gravity is optimally distributed. The bust is supported on all sides; there are usually helium or foam pads on the sides to give additional volume.
Bustier
The “bustier” model is a corset. Its length varies depending on the model and can be either small or reach the waist or hip line. The back of the bustier is either laced or fastened with clothes hooks. This option is intended for some correction of the figure, and also allows you to evenly distribute the load and relieve tension from the shoulders and back.
Bandage
This bra is used for both aesthetic and medical purposes. It has a compression effect due to a material similar to fabric elastic bands. It is worn by:
- pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it allows you to relieve stress from your back. Another undoubted plus is that the bodice helps to avoid stretch marks;
- girls after plastic or other breast surgery.
Classical
An ideal everyday option. Dense cups with or without underwires perfectly shape the breasts and provide good support. A classic bra fits under any clothing, with the exception of blouses with a deep neckline.
Seamless
If you need a bra that will be completely invisible under clothes, then you need a seamless bra. It is made of smooth, dense material without prominent seams, and can have a slight push-up effect to create the ideal breast shape under a tight dress. Often its edges are treated with glue or laser, so there simply cannot be any protruding parts.
With soft cup
A bust with a soft cup can be tailored in completely different ways. For example:
- without a frame with a triangular closed cup. There is an elastic band under the chest, which provides a little support, but does not press or rub anything;
- on a frame with a cup made of several parts of fabric, which allows you to beautifully shape even a large bust.
Triangular
Another representative of soft linen without any pits. Its shape is slightly reminiscent of a sports bra, but it does not press the breasts so much, so it is not very suitable for sports. Triangular cups can be made of thin lace or thick fabric, mesh or patterned material. Ideal for small breasts.
