What is a Plunge Bra and Why You Need It
Love your deep-neck dresses but don’t want to go bra-less? A plunge bra is just what you need. This is because plunge bras have angled cups that are set a little wider apart, making them perfect to wear under cowl neck dresses and low-cut tops.
Plunge bras provide an optimum lift, giving you an enhanced look but a super-comfortable feel!
Benefits of Plunge Bra
Plunge bras also offer virtually every benefit – comfort, support and versatility.
1. They are designed with a smaller gore, which doesn’t trap heat or moisture, making them more breathable and comfortable than regular bras.
2. Plunge bras offer a natural lift to your breasts to avoid discomfort and sagging. They are also generally padded for extra lift and support.
3. For smaller breasts, the wide-set cups create the illusion of a bigger chest.
4. The angled cups and lower centre gore make plunge bras invisible under low-cut outfits, so you don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions.
5. No more fumbling with hooks on the back! Plunge bras are also available with front closures, like this one, so they’re easy to wear and remove. This also makes them an accessible option for differently abled people.
There are various kinds of plunge bras to choose from. Here’s a guide to find your perfect fit.
| What do you want? | What do you need? |
| A comfortable, no-hassle bra for everyday use | Non-Padded, Non-Wired Plunge Bra |
| A natural lift with gentle support to enhance cleavage | Demi-Padded Plunge Bra |
| High-impact lift to shape your bust for low-cut necklines | Padded Wired Plunge Bra with Adjustable Straps |
