What is a Balcony Bra?

A balcony bra, also known as a balconette bra, is a popular everyday style for women. This bra type offers exceptional support and creates an uplifted, rounded shape that flatters various breast sizes and shapes. Unlike full-coverage bras, a balconette bra provides good coverage while exposing a bit more skin, making it an ideal choice for low-cut necklines. The straps attach to the sides of the cups rather than the centre, giving them a wider-set appearance.

Benefits of Balcony Bras:

  • Superior Support: The structured cups and wide underband provide ample support for heavier breasts, reducing strain on the back and shoulders.

  • Uplifted Shape: The balconette style lifts and rounds the bust, creating a flattering, youthful silhouette.

  • Versatile Neckline: The partial cup coverage allows you to wear balcony bras with a variety of tops and dresses, from modest to revealing necklines.

  • Comfortable Fit: The wide-set straps distribute weight evenly, preventing digging or chafing.

How Should a Balconette Bra Fit?

Balconette bras are designed with straps that sit further apart on the shoulders, lifting the breasts from the bottom of the cups to create an uplifted, fuller shape. To ensure you're getting the most out of your bra, here are a few key things to look for:

  • Underband Fit - The underband should feel snug but comfortable against your ribcage. It shouldn't dig into your skin or ride up your back. A properly fitted underband provides essential support and lift.

  • Wire Positioning - The underwires should lie flat against your sternum and rib cage, encasing your breast tissue without pinching or digging. Improperly fitted wires can cause discomfort and potential injury.

  • Cup Encapsulation - Your breasts should be fully contained within the cups, without any spilling over the top or sides. The cup should cradle your breast shape while allowing ample room for movement.

  • Strap Placement - Balconette straps are designed to be wider-set, sitting closer to the outer edges of your shoulders. This positioning helps distribute weight evenly and prevents digging or sliding.
