Victoria’s Secret Demi Bras
Half Cup Bras Explained
Demi bras and their sister style, balconettes, are both half-cup bras. Half cup means the cups cover one-half to three-quarters of your breasts. The style has some appealing perks: a natural looking shape and an alluring plunge neckline that works with low-cut tops.
Types of Demi Bras
Like most bras, demi cups can be combined with other bra style which means you can come away with your ultimate favorite bra. Do you like the support of racerback straps or the seamless edges of t-shirt bras? Good news: you can shop these styles and more as demi bras at Victoria's Secret.
Lightly Lined and Unlined Demi Bras
Since demi bras have natural shaping, it's no wonder why women love lightly lined or unlined options. These bras provide just the right amount of coverage and support without any extra padding. It allows the natural shape of the breasts to show—more so for unlined demi bras. Both unlined and lightly lined demi bras have a lightweight barely-there feel with minimal bulk under clothes. Whether you are at work, out for a casual day, or dressing for a special occasion, lightly lined and unlined demi bras are versatile and comfortable.
Wireless Demi Bras
It's common to find demi bras with underwire since the wire helps provide support with minimal coverage and padding. However, if you love wireless styles, then get ready to fall in love with wireless demi bras. With a more relaxed fit that gently contours to your body, wireless demis are great for casual wear. Indulge in soft, stretchy fabrics that enhance comfort.
T-shirt Demi Bras
Combine the seamless and smoothing design of t-shirt bras with the natural rounded shape of demi bras for the ultimate sexy everyday bra. T-shirt demi bras are designed to be near-invisible under clothes, with seamless edges that prevent any unwanted lines. They often come in neutral shades like skin tones, black, white, and blue. With their comfortable fit and natural lift, T-shirt demi bras create a sleek silhouette.
Racerback Demi Bras
Racerback demi bras have a different take on comfort and structure. Racerback straps form a "Y" or "V" shape in the back which helps keep straps in place and, more importantly, evenly distribute weight across your back and shoulders. The added layer of support and lift is especially more comfortable for large breasts, so you can enjoy the sexy cut of demi bras with more support.
Padded and Push-up Demi Bras
Push-up pads are another classic style that adds extra volume and lift. Additional padding in the cups helps fill them for a rounded appearance. Combined with the low-cup style of demi bras, these bras create pronounced cleavage for a full look. Plus, push-up demi bras have a high lift feel.
Demi Bras in Comparison
Demi vs. Balconette Bras
Demi bras and balconette bras share many similarities that make it hard to tell the difference. Both have less cup coverage, around one-half to three-quarters of the breast, which generally creates less bulk for a natural look. The biggest difference lies in how it plunges to create cleavage.
The cups of a demi bra are tilted at a slight angle, creating a round appearance and a deep plunge in the center. Here, the cups and straps cover more of the top corners of your chest—think V-neck and scoop-neck tops. A balconette lifts horizontally from the base with wide-set straps for a straight-across silhouette. The straps and flat cut expose more skin at the top of the breasts, which is better for square necklines and wide-cut tops.
Demi vs. Full Coverage Bras
The difference between demi bras and full-coverage bras is how much skin the cup covers. Like the name suggests, full-coverage bras cover a larger area of skin, which helps provide more support and a secure fit. On the flip side, half cup bras enhance cleavage by shaping and revealing more skin. Both are great for everyday wear, but if you're used to full coverage bras, you'll notice that demi bras have a unique look and feel.
A demi bra has cups that cover half to three-quarters of the breast. Its name comes from the French word "demi," meaning half. A demi bra is also known for a low neckline that tilts inward for greater cleavage.
The band should be snug against your rib cage, and make sure the center gore sits flat against the skin. The cups of a demi bra should hold your breasts snugly, covering the nipples and creating a natural lift without any spillage over the top or sides. Adjust the straps so they lie flat on your shoulders, offering support without digging in.
Demi bras are a versatile option for both small and large breasts. For those with smaller busts, demi bras enhance curves and cleavage with angled cups that have a gently shape. On the other hand, women with larger busts can also benefit from the structured underwire support and minimal bulk that demi bras provide. Look for supportive straps like racerback designs and a wide band which usually creates more support and comfort, despite the lesser coverage.
