Plus Size Bras

Plus Size or Full Bust? They Are Not the Same

These two terms get muddled constantly, and knowing which applies to you makes finding the right bra far easier. Plus size refers to a larger band and body. Full bust, sometimes called fuller bust, refers to a large cup relative to the band. A 22D is plus size without being especially full busted, while a 14K is full busted without being plus size at all. Plenty of women are both.

It matters because the two need different things from a bra. A larger band needs the right length and firmness to sit level, while a deeper cup needs proper support, wider wings and stronger straps to carry the weight comfortably. We fit for both, which is why the range here spans such a wide spread of bands and cups. If you are unsure where you sit, our how to measure guide walks you through it.

Styles in the Plus Size Bra Range

Whatever you need a bra to do, there is a style here built for a larger size. Full cup bras give the most coverage and everyday support, while plunge and balconette shapes work under lower necklines without losing lift. Minimiser styles soften the projection of a fuller bust, strapless options are properly engineered to stay up, and plus size front closure bras make dressing easier if reaching behind is a strain.

For anything active, our plus size sports bras come in wired, wire-free and moulded designs made to hold a fuller bust through real movement. Across all of these you will find the labels that specialise in extended cup sizing, including Elomi, Goddess, Sculptresse, Fantasie, Freya, Panache, Primadonna and Glamorise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is considered a plus size bra? There is no fixed cut-off, but plus size bras generally start around a size 16 band and go up from there. At DeBra's we fit by your actual band and cup rather than a small, medium or large label, so the focus is on the fit, not the number.

What is the difference between plus size and full bust bras? Plus size describes a larger band and body, while full bust describes a large cup relative to the band. You can be one, the other, or both, and each needs slightly different support. We stock styles designed for all three.

Do you stock large cup bras like G, H or K? Yes. Our range runs through the larger cups, including G, GG, H and up to a K and beyond in many styles, from brands that design specifically for a fuller bust rather than sizing up a smaller shape.

Can I buy plus size bras if I am not near your store? Yes. You can shop the full range online with Australia-wide shipping, and book a free virtual Zoom fitting so you get expert sizing help from home, wherever you are in the country.
