Full-Cup Bras: Everyday Support for Full Busts

Updated: May 28

A full-cup bra offers full coverage to shape, lift, and support the bust. It's a top choice for those with larger cup sizes, especially if you're looking for a bra that feels secure without spilling or segmenting your breast tissue.

Full-cup bras are available with or without underwires, and most styles feature seamed cups to provide structure and shape. The larger the cup size, the more seams you'll typically see—these allow for more volume and better support. Many styles also include a side panel or sling for added forward projection, helping bring the bust in from the sides for a more centred silhouette.


Why Choose a Full-Cup Bra?

  • Best for full-on-top or projected busts

  • Reduces bounce and strap slippage

  • Provides full containment and lift

  • Ideal for uneven or heavy breasts


In most full-cup styles, bra straps are positioned more centrally, directly above the bust point. This positioning improves support and helps prevent slipping—especially helpful if you've struggled with bra straps that fall off your shoulders.

Primadonna Deauville in Cafe Latte features a slight stretch embroidered top cup with textured bottom cup. The bra features a side panel to direct the breast shape forward.
One of our most-loved styles for good reason. Deauville is a seamed full-cup bra known for its comfort, support, and gentle forward shape. The lace detailing adds a touch of elegance while still being practical for everyday wear.


Goddess Keira is a 5-part cup in a smooth Simplex fabric. It has a subtle sheen and is strong for support. The top panel is a rigid mesh that helps lighten the overall appearance. The side panel shapes the bust forward.
With a smooth, strong fabric and seamed cups, Keira delivers incredible lift and shaping—even for the fullest of busts. This bra is a standout option if you’re looking for a supportive full-cup bra in plus sizes.

Elomi Morgan is a 4-piece cup with a side panel for forward shaping. The stretch lace top cup allows for a flexible fit and accommodates breast size changes or size differences between the breasts.
Morgan features a soft stretch lace top cup, which is especially helpful for uneven breasts or if your size fluctuates. A firm bottom cup and side support panel provide structure, lift, and shaping. Available up to a UK LL cup starting July 2025!

What Breast Shapes Work Best in a Full-Cup Bra?

If you have:

  • Full-on-top breasts

  • Pendulous or projected breasts

  • Uneven breast volume

  • A larger bust and want full containment

…then a full-cup bra is likely to be your best match. It offers more coverage than a balcony or plunge bra, helping you feel supported and secure all day long.
