Whether it's a classic long line style that ends at the midriff or a full coverage bustier that covers the torso and ends at the hips, a long line bra offers far greater coverage than a regular bra.

The benefit? The opportunity to smooth and slim your mid-section in addition to supporting the bust.

For even more definition in the waist, consider a style with shapewear paneling or bustier style boning that provides firm control.

Style Secrets...

Longline bras, often referred to as bustiers, are very versatile descendants of the corset - the traditional lingerie undergarment that created the tiny wasp-waists that was so fashionable for past generations.

Longline Bras Lift Your Bust

The exceptional support of this type of bra helps to boost your bust and lengthen your torso, making you look longer, taller and leaner overall.

The extra support at the bottom of the bra - especially with underwire styles that are padded - is what helps create lift from below.

Rather than relying on a thin support band to hold you up, the long line bra’s extra supportive base and push up effect gives your bust the boost to enhance your bustline for a smoother silhouette.

 A Bustier Style That Helps Your Posture

The support this bra creates from below the bust takes the pressure off the bra straps (of regular bras), to do all the heavy lifting.

Women with larger busts are especially happy with the support and comfortable fit that long line bras offer.

Why? Better overall support, and the elimination of bra straps that tend to dig into the shoulders and pull their arms downward.

This relieves strain on the back and shoulders, which means that it's easier to stand taller with a more relaxed upper body and better better posture.

Beautiful Bras Boost Confidence

One of the lesser known advantages of a longline bra? Knowing that you’re well supported, with a perfectly sculpted midsection, and the illusion of extra height will enable any woman to carry herself with extra poise, grace, and confidence throughout the day.

There’s nothing more attractive and magnetizing than confidence - a woman who is comfortable and relaxed in her appearance.

The long line bra makes this effortlessly possible for any woman, regardless of her shape or size.
