How Do Full Cup Bras Compare From Brand to Brand?
Bras are complex things. From looking at them though you might not think that. If you speak bra then you might not have any issues understanding the differences however if you're a novice (don't worry, we all had to start somewhere!) then things like balcony, half cup, padded, the full cup might sound a bit alien to you. So allow us to explain Full Cup Bras to you and how they may differ from brand to brand. Here's the scoop, and don't fret, it isn't rocket science, we promise!
So you wanna talk full cup bras? Here are the basics! They provide amazing coverage to maintain your modesty and will help you to feel supported throughout the day. These bras also give you a natural, well-rounded shape that compliments your silhouette, working flawlessly under all your clothes.
Prima Donna
Queen of sophistication and elegance, Prima Donna has plenty of full cup bras to pick from. So the question is, lace? Or smooth? Or hear us out, you could do half and half. The possibilities with this brand are endless! So let's delve in, shall we?
Prima Donna Deauville Comfort Bra in scarlet. What a show stopper this bra is.

With a deep plunging neckline, the whole bra is decorated with a soft semi-transparent all-over lace with a beautiful swirl and floral pattern. Gone are the stereotypes of full cup bras being just a smooth, out of date colour, Prima Donna is here to show you a full cup can be sleek and timeless.
