BEST BRALETTES FOR DD+ CUPS

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A DD+ BRALETTE

Bralettes are the hottest trend that women’s underwear has seen in decades. But because bralettes are known to choose comfort over support, many women with large breasts tend to steer clear of this bra.

You don’t have to steer clear any longer! There are many bralettes that contain features that will give enough support for DD+ cup sizes. Our Bra Fit Experts have selected key shopping tips and bra recommendations that are perfect for large breasts.

COMFORT IS SYNONYMOUS WITH “BRALETTE”

Comfort is what the bralette is known for, thanks to its wire-free design and soft, breathable fabrics like lace, microfiber and light cotton. Finding the perfect fit is not as essential with a bralette when compared to a regular bra, because bralettes don’t have the structure to pinch or dig into your skin.

Unlike other bras, bralettes run in sizes extra small to extra large. You can find your bralette size by using the Bare Necessities size chart that comes with every bralette featured on the site.

SUPPORT FEATURES FOR DD+ BRALETTES

There’s often more to a bralette than just pretty fabrics and colors. Many styles also incorporate innovative features to provide the support that a DD+ figure requires.

Double-layered cups offer additional coverage and extra lift, and they prevent nipples from showing through.
Adjustable straps let you increase lift and tailor the fit to suit your precise body type.
Elastic underbands hold the bralette in place securely and also enhance support and uplift.
A center knit-in triangle mimics encapsulation, keeping breasts separated without employing underwire.
Light underwire is still comfortable, but adds extra structure for more support.

BRALETTE STYLE: SEXY VS RELAXED

Bralettes can be styled for a sexy and flirty look with lacy bands, straps and trim—to be worn peeking out from a scoop- or V-neck tee. Or they can give you a more relaxed look with the soft, stretchy microfiber or cotton—perfect for lounging on a weekend morning or even for sleeping.

It washes well and breathes while you sleep. I’ve ordered a few different sizes—starting at S early in pregnancy and up to a L in the later stages.
