This is my guide to better help you pick out the right style of bra for your needs.  Ooooh my gosh, there are just so many, it is easy to find yourself confused!  We have full coverage, balconette , push-up, demi, side shapers, plunge bras, Tee shirt bras, and full figure bras.   Don't be scared, I am going to explain some of these styles to you, and help you to make a better decision when purchasing your next bra.  Decisions decisions!  We are about to go over some of these styles, and I hope this helps to eliminate some of the confusion you may have had in the past.

Demi Bra -   A demi bra is only going to cover about 3/4 of your breast.  This style is also great for low cut necklines, but is not going to give you that great of support.  This style works best with smaller busted women, because it does not offer the support of a full coverage bra.  The straps are much thinner, and this bra will expose the upper portion of your bust, when wearing low cut, or revealing necklines
.Demi Bra

Balconet Bra - This is a very sexy style of bra, that will allow you to wear very low necklines, yet not expose your bra.  This bra will give your breast a great lift, yet not enhance the cleavage as much as a pushup bra.  It will lift your breast, without pushing them together so much.  This style will provide 1/2 to 3/4 coverage of the breast, and the straps are set further apart then the full coverage style.  If you are looking to show off your goods, and wear a low neck line, then where this style with pride.  If you got it, flaunt it, I say!

Push-Up Bra -  The push up bra is designed to cover about 1/2 of the breast.  The straps are further apart, and this bra is designed to give you MAX cleavage.  Weather you are wearing a low neckline, or just feel the need to look sexy, this is the style for you.  This style is designed to not only push the breast up, and give you that extra lift, but it will push them together as well, to give you the best cleavage possible!  This is a very sexy style, for when you really feel like being sexy!
Push-Up Bra

Full Coverage Bra -  The name will pretty much explain this style. This bra has a full cup, and totally covers the entire breast.  This bra provides excellent coverage, as well as excellent support.  . . The shoulder straps are usually lined up with the middle of the cup so your breast can be supported evenly. This also helps to keep the straps from falling off of your shoulders.   This style of bra will provide excellent support, as well as all day comfort.  No need to adjust, or re position this bra throughout the day.  If it is well made, it should stay put all day long.
Full Coverage Bra 

Plunge Bra -  The center of the plunge bra is cut very low, in a "V" type shape.  The sides of the cup are cut at an angle.  Most plunge bras are padded at the bottom of the cup.  This is not to increase your size, but to push your bust up, and give you the maximum amount of cleavage possible.  This is a very sexy style to wear with those plunging necklines, and to get the maximum amount of cleavage possible.  Ooooh la la!  The straps are set wide, and not the best for support, but the cleavage is amazing!

The Correct Style?


Small Bust: To make the most of a small bust, try a balcony style bra, with or without padding. this can give you an enhanced neckline, excellent uplift, and a lovely, curvy shape. Half-cup bras also flatter a smaller bust; padding at the sides and under the bust give maximum lift. Try an add a cup style, these work well to make your bust appear a size larger.
Large Bust: for women with larger busts, wider shoulder and back straps give firm support. Full cups contain the breast better and give a better appearance. Underwire bras provide better support under the bust. Smooth, plain bra styles, without too much lace, help to make your bust appear smaller. Full coverage bras will provide much better support then the demi styles, if you have a large bustline.  Support is very important for the full figure women, and can help to prevent back aches later on down the road.
