Balconette Full Coverage Bras

Colour: Black

3.9 from 5,920 ratings

We shaped this balcony bra with light contour padding to hold a smooth line under thin jersey. The horizontal cup line opens up lower necklines while the underwire anchors a heavier bust. In deep black, the fabric stays opaque and smooth beneath dark knits and blouses.

How this one is put together

Balcony cup shaping
The cups follow a classic balconette line that sits lower across the chest while holding full coverage at the base. Thin contour padding stops nipple show-through and keeps the rounded shape neat under close-fitting t-shirts.
Underwire support
An enclosed underwire anchors the bottom of each cup firmly against the ribcage. It lifts a full bust upward and separates tissue cleanly, preventing the weight of the breast from dragging the band downward throughout the day.
Wide cushioned straps
We widened the shoulder straps and added soft padding along the top ridge to prevent painful pressure points. Fully adjustable sliders at the back allow you to set the lift exactly where your frame needs it.
Smoothing side wings
Broad wings cut from elastic microfibre wrap around the sides to sit flat against the skin under your arms. They contain side tissue neatly and help reduce lines across the back under fitted tops.

Getting the size right

Take a snug under bust measurement on a full exhale, then an over bust measurement with the tape resting. The gap between the two sets your cup letter.

Open the fit finder

Sister sizing works here too: if the band is tight, move up a band and down a cup. How that works.

Body measurements in inches, not garment measurements. Read your band down the left, then find the column where your over bust lands. A dot means we do not cut that pair in this style.
