The Best Bra Brands for Women With Large Cup Sizes

Ra’el Cohen, Chief Creative Officer at ThirdLove, says full coverage is key for busty women. “It’s smart to consider your fabrics and the overall construction of the bra,” she adds, such as ultra-thin memory foam which ThirdLove incorporates into the straps and cups of their designs. Cohen also recommends a smoothing double-layer band for a flattering and supportive fit, suggesting the 24/7 Perfect Coverage Bra as a comfortable, everyday bra. 

For a sexier take on full-coverage, Simone Perele offers semi-sheer lace bras that feature three-part-cup construction and adjustable straps.

Known for its focus on size inclusivity, Parfait Lingerie has an incredible size range of bras for women with full busts, which Kristoffer John Cardona, Head of Marketing, says is all about the straps. “When it comes to finding the best bras for a full bust, it is very important to have wide straps for both comfort and support. If the strap is too narrow, it is likely to dig into the shoulders causing discomfort and possibly mark or dent the skin.” 

For best in shaping, Cardona recommends contour bras that incorporate a layer of padding or foam without adding size, like Parfait‘s Emma Plunge Molded Bra, which create clean, smooth lines under clothes while providing more support.

For breast shapes that are bottom-heavy, this balconette bra by CUUP is made from sheer power mesh with a lightweight, flexible underwire. Choose this for a sleek and supportive everyday option.

“Busty girls no longer need hot, heavy-duty pads and straps in order to achieve their desired fit and shape,” says Jessica Pfister, Vice President of Le Mystere. “We now have microfibers, meshes, and lace available to us that are beautiful, have a super-soft hand feel, but are also incredibly supportive.” Recommending the Le Mystere Light Luxury Spacer as her top pick for large breasts, Pfister says the space cups keep you cool while providing shaping and support all in a pretty package.

Featuring microfiber mesh wings and lace trim, this non-padded bra by Déesse is the ultimate in lightweight support.

Wacoal’s Visual Effects Minimizer Bra features full-coverage lace cups with sheer mesh lining for added comfort and style.

Paramour by Felina specializes in bras for full-figure women with full busts. To find the right one for you, Willy Mrasek, Creative Director of Felina, suggests three key fit components: The band should sit level on your back and feel snug, but not tight. The straps should stay put without slipping or digging in. Cups should always fit smooth across the chest without spilling or gaps. Mrasek’s top two picks include the Tempting Plush Contour Bra which uses power mesh at the center front and wing anchors of the bra, and the Dahlia 4-Section Cup Unlined Bra which features features additional paneling to lift and shape the bust up to a 42H cup.
