Bralettes for round or bell-shaped fuller busts
Round shaped breasts are known to be perky and are equally full at the top and the bottom. Bell-shaped breasts, on the other hand, tend to be shallower at the top and fuller at the bottom. The common ground for these breast shapes is that they both own a natural fullness that generally doesn’t require any padding (unless it’s a personal preference), but they may require a bit more coverage than the average tiny triangles and a couple of strings can offer.
The Midnight Express Wire Free Bra flaunts sophisticated, floral lace. This style is perfect for supporting women with fuller bust as it acts as reinforcement for the stretchy lace on the outer layer. It has a higher centre front, compared to your standard bralette which gives you more security with movement throughout the day. It comes in two colours (Frappe and Black) and is available in XS-XL.
