The full cup bra is made up of two separate cups stitched together by a central seam, which hugs and separates each breast rather than bringing them together. This design ensures firm support and a natural shape, making it particularly suitable for fuller busts and medium to deep cup sizes.
A full-coverage bra is identified by its visible centre seam, which clearly separates the two cups instead of bringing them together like a balconette. It provides individual support for each breast, without the effect of bringing them closer together.
The centre seam distributes the weight of the bust across two independent cups. It comes in a full-coverage bra with underwire version for enhanced support, and a full-coverage bra without underwire for more flexibility in everyday wear.
The Prima Donna full-coverage bra and the Empreinte full-coverage bra are among the most frequently mentioned in this style, providing well-distributed individual support.
