Anatomy of a Bra
Ever googled the meaning of some lingerie jargon while trying to shop for bras online? Words like basque, apex, and balconette can be quite confusing, we know! Don’t worry, we’re not judging you! Instead, we’re here to help you understand the anatomy of bra -components of a bra. Here is the anatomy of a bra:
What are the various parts of a bra?
WHAT IS AN UNDERBAND?
The underband of a bra is the unsung hero that provides maximum support to the breasts. It should sit horizontally around your back and never arch upwards, snug enough to slide two fingers underneath it easily.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A BRA CUP?
Cups are the front parts of a bra that holds breasts providing coverage & support. These can be padded or non-padded; molded or with seams.
Straps are elastic bands that run over the shoulders from front to back providing hold & support. Adjust straps as per your comfort. They should not be too tight or falling off the shoulders.
The underwire is a thin wire strip that is sewn into the bra at the base of the cups to provide additional support & gentle lift to the breasts. In an underwired bra, the wires at the front should sit flat at your breastbone.
Bras have evolved over the years into a variety of unique, innovative and highly technical styles, and so the anatomy of a bra is always intriguing.
