Comfortable *and* supportive.
Though bralettes tend to be a popular option for people with smaller busts, large bust sizes can enjoy the luxe comfort of the style, too — you just have to know what to look for. The best bralettes for large busts are designed to offer the unparalleled comfort the style is known for, as well as supportive features like adjustable straps and bands or molded cups so bigger breasts will feel secure.
What To Consider When Shopping For Bralettes For Large Busts
- Straps: Since bralettes are by definition unwired, the first place you’ll look for support when shopping for larger cup sizes is strap width. It’s all about weight distribution: Supportive bralettes with wide straps and bands can help lift the bust and evenly distribute the weight. Even better if the straps are adjustable so you can ensure a snug fit. And while pullover-style bralettes are common, some designs feature bra-like hook-and-eye closures for a more customized fit, as well.
- Cups: Also in place of underwire for support, look for bralettes with reinforced cups. Contoured cups, knit-in support, or removable padding can add extra coverage, shape, and definition for those with larger busts.
- Material: Extra support (and comfort) can come by way of fabrics blended with plenty of stretch, which also ensures that bigger busts are totally covered. You may even seek bralettes with four-way stretch, which stretches both length- and width-wise. And if you like the look and feel of a slightly smaller bust, or love the feel of compression fabric, opt for a minimizing bralette that can reduce the appearance of your bust (temporarily, of course) and create a smooth, seamless silhouette.
A little extra support is always welcome. From barely there seamless styles to lacy underpinning fit for the boudoir, scroll on to shop the best bralettes for large busts that Amazon shoppers swear by

Enthusiastic review: “I normally wear a 42C and I ordered an XL, which fits fantastically. What I especially love about this bra is that the cups are rounded as opposed to the last 10 bras I've ordered frm other brands, which have a somewhat cone-shaped cup. I don't want my breasts looking pointy under my shirts. Normally, I exclusively wear underwire and only tried this at my cousin's recommendation. I've worn it for the last 2 full days both at work and at after work activities. [...] Super comfortable, I barely even feel it. Gives support.”
