Help! My boobs face east and west.

Understanding the East/West Challenge in Fuller Bust Bras

Many fuller bust bra wearers find that their breasts look East/West (towards the armpits) when styling their outfits. In fact, so many of us stick to a padded or moulded bra to try and create shape to their silhouette but we know the struggle: gaping cups, East/West spread boobs, zero uplift or forward projection which restricts us from wearing our day-to-day outfits with confidence.

Strapless bras, for many, have become synonymous with unpredictable wardrobe malfunctions. D-K cup wears often opt for Full Cup or Balcony Bras without realising a key design feature which will change your silhouette, and your life!

Why do bras not offer the right shape or support?

Understanding the problem requires looking at common flaws in many bras:

  1. Insufficient Support: If a bra is not the correct size, you will find it offers a lack of support. The band should offer 80% of the support to lift and shape your bust.
  2. One-shape for every outfit approach: Many people get stuck in a bra rut, wearing the same shape bra under every outfit.
  3. Poor Material Choice: he fabrics your bra is created with can lead to a less supported look and feel to the bra.
  4. Inadequate Structure: Lack of proper underwires and side supports can cause the bra to lose shape over time.

Curvy Kate’s Bra Whisperer talks about how important a well-fitted Balcony Bra truly is:

"Many fuller bust customers come to me wearing a padded or moulded bra but for many, they experience gaping and the cup standing away from the body which can distort the shape of the bra. A non-padded balcony bra like Victory which features side support offers a wonderful, rounded shape, uplift and sits closely to the bust. The Victory bra really is game-changing and for so many Curvy Kate customers – a must have bra in every colour!”

Discover Your Perfect Fit

A perfectly fitting balcony bra will offer: 

  1. 100% support from the back band, this should feel firm but not tight.
  2. Underwires should reach around all your breast tissue at the side and into your armpit area to avoid wires digging in.
  3. The wires should sit firmly between the bust for separation and uplift.

Putting on your balcony bra properly, is the most important step as it enhances how the bra fits your body and the comfort which you feel! You can learn more about how to put a bra on properlyon our Bra Fitting Advice page.
