What is a side support bra?
A side support bra features an additional panel of fabric along the sides of the cups. This extra section offers enhanced reinforcement, guiding the breasts inward toward the centre for a more forward-facing, rounded shape and a sleeker silhouette. It’s an ideal choice for fuller busts, wider-set breasts or anyone seeking extra lift, support and improved shaping while minimising side spillage.
