Big boobs have needs. They crave lifting and centering, shaping and smoothing. They do not wish to sag or to sweat. And when you finally come across the right bra for your body in the right size, they would also like to feel as good as they look. We don't think that's too much to ask, do you?
When faced with an assortment as comprehensive as ours, the big question is where to begin. Once you've measured your bra size (or enlisted a Bra Fit Expert to do it for you), you're ready to peruse.
In the interest of saving you time, these full-bust bras are some of our very favorites around here.
Bare The Side Support Bra
Our in-house bra experts designed this unlined underwire bra to bring breasts front and center in sleek, modern style. Multipart full-cut cups with an appealing mesh insert give your girls both lift and support. Inside the cups, double-layer fabric affords some modesty where needed. This bra is an especially great solution for people whos breasts are East-West, or splayed to the sides. (Bands 30-40, cups D-H)
Sidenote: For a lacy lingerie-inspired take on the same style, don't miss the Camio Mio Lace Unlined Side Support Bra.
Bare The Absolute Minimizer
One of our best-selling minimizers lessens the impression of your bustline by up to an inch. The cups compress and redistribute your breast tissue for a less chesty look; they also assist under tighter tops and solve for gaping buttondown shirts. Seamless, unlined molded cups shape to your body; customize the effect even further with fully adjustable, convertible straps. (Bands 30-42, cups B-I)
Sidenote: It also comes in a wire-free version if that's more your speed.
Chantelle Norah Seamless Comfort Bra
This is truly a comfort bra—without sacrificing support. Side support bras usually have seamed cups for lift and support; those can sometimes show through tight clothing. Norah's innovative construction relocates the seams to the inside, along the bottom. Voilà, gorgeous seamless cups that stay scarce under shirts. Bonus points for the band: Made of buttery soft, smoothing microfiber, it looks and feels good all day long. (EU-sized bands 30-42, cups C-I)
Sidenote: The Chantelle Norah collection includes a minimizer T-shirt bra, a wire-free bra, a front-close, a strapless and more.
Fantasie Aura T-Shirt Bra
If you're a T-shirt bra girlie, this full-cup style is a reliable choice. It's made out of comfy, super smooth microfiber, so you won’t have to worry about it showing under clothes. This style has a ballet back with kicked-in straps that make slippage a distant memory. We love how the cups are sturdy enough to hold full, heavy breasts, but not rigid that they don't move with you. (UK-sized bands 30-40, cups DD-HH)
Sidenote: Make it your strapless bra of choice, too.
Wacoal Inside Job Side Support Bra
Patterned yet smooth, this bra's seamless cups contain a hidden inner sling that gives you all the support. That inner sling is great for women with bell-shaped breasts (fuller on the bottom) because it helps to lift and center you. Inside Job's fuller coverage cup keeps you contained; the seamless, perforated fabric is flexible enough to let boobs breathe. (Bands 32-42, cups C-H)
Sidenote: Don't miss the wire-free version.
Panache Ana Side Support Plunge Bra
While side support bras can sometimes feel like A LOT of bra (full-coverage cups, build-up sides, high center gore), the Ana Plunge does its thing with a really lovely light touch. This bra tends to flatter breasts that are fuller on the sides than up top; its three-part-seamed cups smooth you all around while the plunging neckline lets you wear it under pretty much whatever you want. (UK-sized bands 28-38, cups DD-J)
Sidenote: The matching thong or brief instantly turns a pretty bra into lingerie.
Bare The Favorite Longline T-Shirt Bra
Our quintessential T-shirt bra, but make it a trendy longline. Virtually invisible under even the clingiest tanks and tees, this style gives your girls (round, East-West or bell-shaped breasts especially) a perfectly full, smooth, sculpted look using super soft, seamless fabric while accentuating the waist at the same time. Our designers made sure it delivers nonstop comfort, support and a touch of shaping thanks to foam-lined underwire cups and side boning. (Bands 30-40, cups DD-I)
Sidenote: The non-longline version is Bare The Favorite T-Shirt Bra; the underwire-free edition is Bare The Favorite Wire-Free Smoothing T-Shirt Bra.
Panache Power High Impact Underwire Sports Bra
If you're big-busted, we would be hard-pressed to recommend anything other than this bra for high-intensity workouts. Lab-tested to cut bounce by a whopping 83 percent, it encapsulates and compresses breasts to keep them where they belong while you work out. Comfort features like silicone-encased underwires, moisture-wicking mesh and wide, cushioned straps that can cinch tighter with the J-hook are as appreciated as the array of bold colors and prints. (UK-sized bands 28-40, cups B-J)
Sidenote: Though this sports bra used to be called the "Ultimate," it's the same style you know and love.
