Bra Style ·

Bra-vo! Here's Our Marlon Bra Style Guide.

 

Just like us ladies, bras come in all shapes & sizes. Bra styles are specially designed to provide support & comfort, and also create a specific silhouette beneath clothing.  Some bra designs are more suited to a petite form while others provide the shaping and comfort a fuller cup needs. Bra cups can be constructed for a natural shape or to create a  fuller defined look.

The bra cup seams make a difference too.

Think of a balconette style bra, those vertical seams aren't just for decoration, they work to lift the bust and create shape .3 piece cup bra designs are fantastic for fuller cup sizes. Why?  In addition to reinforcing the cups those clever seams work to lift and project forward the boobs, supporting the weight and shaping the bust.  

We've created this little guide to help you choose the style of our bras that may best fit your needs.

Simple and classic, a cross-front wireless bra makes a comfy option for sleep and relaxing about the home. Many ladies seek a little extra support at bedtime and this style of bra uses wide elastic  to define  & separate the boobs. Often made from soft & stretchy cotton jersey, this style of wire-free soft-cup bra creates a natural shape. For a little more shaping & support, choose this bra style made from stretch satin. 

 

Perfect for fuller busted ladies and  ladies with slightly different cup sizes, firm control unwired bras offer great shaping & support . Made from sturdy mesh and rigid laces, firm control wireless bras can offer support akin to wired designs. Cleverly designed panels to fully encase, support and shape  the boobs anchor to the ribcage firmly. Deep side panels often feature boning, working hard to help the underbust band support the bust.  Wide straps and multi hook & eyes help to perfect the fit. Often you'll find  pretty details too, those rigid laces have delicate feminine details and fine lace trims can highlight the contours beautifully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Providing structure and support through clever construction & materials, this style of wireless bra have an extra detail you'll love. The front closure, be it with hooks & eyes or occasionally a zipper, allow an ease of dressing for ladies with any back or shoulder problems.

Wired full cup bra styles are a great choice if you need a classic everyday supportive bra. The wired cups helps create a rounded shape and help anchor your boobs to the bra band, supporting the weight of the bust.  Selecting the correct size is important with wired bras, for a couple of reasons .Choosing too small a cup size could could result in uncomfy wires digging in the boobs, equally choosing too small a band size and those pesky wires will dig into your ribs!
