A plunge bra has a low front in the shape of a U or V to accommodate low-cut shirts or dresses, lifting and separating the breasts for more visible cleavage. They can be uncomfortable but are useful for special occasions and come in various styles and materials. It’s important to find the right fit and size for comfort and support.
A plunge bra is a type of bra with a very low front in the shape of a U or V, to accommodate low-cut shirts or dresses. In general, they are intended to lift the breasts and separate them, so that the cleavage is more visible and noticeable. Many plunge bras have extra padding in the cups to enhance the appearance of the cleavage, adding to the effect of very low-cut shirts and dresses. They also often have removable or convertible bra straps that can be adapted to fit different necklines.
Typically designed to be worn only on special occasions, many plunge bras may not provide the comfort of a normal everyday bra, although some women experience no problem with this. Some women find that shaping intended to enhance cleavage and make the breasts appear larger can be uncomfortable. However, not wearing a bra or wearing only a sticky bra is not an option for some women, even when a very low neckline risks leaving a bra visible. This is where a plunge bra comes in handy.
A plunge bra can be made from any of the materials a regular bra is made of, from fancy colored lace and satin to plain white cotton. Bras also come in many different styles, such as push-up or camisole bras, as well as a standard underwired style. Some plunge bras can be strapless and backless, consisting only of the front of the bra, usually attached to the body with adhesive. Some longline corsets also feature recessed fronts.
Many women who have purchased a plunge bra claim that it is a lifesaver for special occasions. A common recommendation for prospective buyers is to make sure that not only is the plunge deep enough, but the cups are wide enough to remain safely hidden under a shirt or dress. Finding a plunge bra that reveals enough skin without sacrificing comfort and support seems to be a balancing act for some women, who advise trying several styles in stores before ordering online. Some styles seem to be more geared towards small-chested women, while others work better for those with a larger bust. Additionally, purchasing a larger or smaller cup size can have a huge impact on comfort and the amount of cleavage shown, an important fact to consider because many brands tend to run slightly smaller or larger than the standard.
