A bra extender is used to span a gap between two sides of a bra closure, often for women who struggle to find pre-made bras that fit well. They come in various designs and colors and can be used during pregnancy or in stage and film wardrobes.

A bra extender is a small item used to span a gap between two sides of a bra closure. This item is used almost exclusively in bra clasps that are integrated into the back of the bra rather than those designed to meet at the front of the chest between the breasts. If a woman were to purchase a bra only to find that while the cup size was correct, the bra did not fit properly around her ribcage, she may need to purchase a bra extender to make the bra fit properly. Some women wear bra extenders on a regular basis because they find it difficult to buy pre-made bras that fit them well. These items can also be used by women who regularly fluctuate in weight.

While it’s more common for bra extenders to be designed to fit into the back of bras, there are a number of design variations. Bra clasps are made up of a series of rounded hooks that fit into loops. A bra extender simply offers an extra row of these hooks and loops. Some bras are designed to close with just one hook and loop, while others close with up to four hook and loops. It is more common for bras to be closed with two or three hooks and loops.

Just as there are variations in the number of individual clasps that are incorporated into a bra, there are also variations in the design of bra extenders. There are bra extenders that can be used with bras that close with two hooks, as well as those that close with one, three, and even four hooks. Bra extenders are generally available in a limited number of colors. The most common extended bra colors include black, white, and nude.

Some women wear bra extenders when they are pregnant so that they can adapt to the changing shape of their bodies without having to buy new underwear. Also, bra extenders can come in handy in stage and film wardrobes as these items can help them create perfect fits for actresses wearing the costumes. A person purchasing a bra extender may purchase such an item at a store that sells fabric and other types of garment closures.
