Fit Experts

If you're on the hunt for the perfect bra, you may want to consider adding a demi bra to your lingerie collection. Demi bras are a versatile and flattering option that can provide a subtle lift and enhance your natural shape. They're also a great choice for a variety of different outfits, making them a true wardrobe staple. They also provide a subtle lift that can enhance the natural shape of your breasts. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of wearing a demi bra, who can wear one, how to tell if it fits properly, and what to wear with it. Plus, we'll share some of our favourite demi bra styles available at Bendon Lingerie.

What Are The Benefits Of Wearing A Demi Bra?

Demi bras offer a subtle lift that can create fullness to the top of your breasts, making them a great choice for those looking to enhance their natural shape. Unlike full-coverage bras, demi bras are designed to provide coverage to just half of your breast, leaving the top part exposed for a more natural look. This makes them a perfect option for low-cut tops and dresses, or any outfit where you want a little lift without showing too much bra.

Who Should Wear A Demi Bra?

One of the best things about demi bras is that they're suitable for women of all shapes and sizes. Whether you're small-chested or well-endowed, a demi bra can provide a subtle lift and create a more flattering shape. However, if you're looking for maximum support and coverage, a full-coverage bra may be a better option.

What Is The Difference Between A Demi Bra And A Regular Bra?

If you’re wondering what makes a demi bra different to a regular bra, we’ve got you covered. Here are the key differences:

Half Cup Coverage

The main difference between a demi bra and a regular bra is the level of coverage. A demi bra typically covers the nipples and bottom of your breasts, leaving the top part of your breasts exposed, for a more natural look. The coverage of a regular bra will differ from style to style. However, it typically covers most of the breast.

Wider Set Straps

Another difference between a demi bra and a regular bra is the straps. The straps on a demi bra are usually designed to start at the outside corner of the bra. This gives the appearance of wider set straps, which can provide a very flattering fit. This makes a demi bra a great choice for a variety of different tops and dresses. On the other hand, other bra styles usually have straps that are positioned in the centre of the bra.

Are demi bras good for all breast sizes?

The good news is that most women can wear a demi bra. The level of coverage provided by a demi bra makes it a great bra style for most women, regardless of breast shape and size. A demi bra is an incredibly popular bra style for those with breasts that are fuller at the bottom. Usually, women with this breast shape will struggle to fill the cups when a bra has more coverage. So, the demi bra is a wonderful solution to create more fullness.

How To Tell if Your Demi Bra Fits Properly

When it comes to bras, proper fit is key. To ensure that your demi bra fits properly, start by checking the band. It should fit snugly around your ribcage without digging in or riding up. Next, check the cups. They should be filled out without any gaps or bulges, and the underwire should sit comfortably against your ribcage. If your straps are digging in or slipping off your shoulders, then it's likely that the bra isn't fitting properly. To ensure the perfect fit, it's always a good idea to get fitted by a professional or use our online guide to measure yourself at home

What to Wear with A Demi Bra

Demi bras are a great choice for a variety of different outfits, from low-cut tops to everyday t-shirts. They're particularly flattering when worn with tops or dresses that have a lower neckline, as they provide a subtle lift without showing too much bra. If you're looking to create a more dramatic look, you can also choose to wear a demi bra with a scoop or v-neckline to show off a little more cleavage.
