Full Figure Bras - Guide To The Most Popular Styles

Full figure bras can be tricky to shop for. We get it. This is mainly because those who wear them tend to have larger bustlines and need more support than regular bras offer.

Add comfort and style to the mix, and it can be confusing and a wee bit confusing.

The good news is that your timing is perfect. Bra and lingerie manufacturers have never been more focused than they are on designing beautiful lingerie that's inclusive for everyone.

This will tell you if the bras that you're interested in tend to fit smaller or larger, and help save precious time and frustration.
