How Low Will You Go?

If one is short necked, short shouldered (decollete area) or short waisted, a plunge bra can be one's everyday bra.

By Plunge bra I don't mean these silly U-shaped contraptions: (it only goes to a D cup anyway). And even the deep plunge/push up bras are best reserved for special occasions when a dress neckline requires it. When I wore this bra in the past I felt more than risque trying to put it under a simple everyday merino V-neck sweater: It was hoochy-mama all the way!
Several everyday bras for the full bustline are available from the brands that specialize in the full cups with narrow/misses sized back band sizes: Freya, Panache, Fantasie, etc.

Below are three great solutions for everyday plunge bras. The Tango Plunge bra by Panache is the most basic and disappearing of colors. Eveden (makers of Fantasie, Freya and now they also own Goddess and have come out with Elomi) don't seem to make their plunge bras in foundation colors, but rather mostly in fashion colors and prints.


By definition a plunge bra is a bra that has a lower center gore in the front of the bra. That is where the wires rest on your chest bone between the breasts. To give good uplift and shape in the full cups, the gore is normally pretty high. Think a good two - three inches. However with these bras, the uplift & shape are great with a much shorter center gore.

I no longer hear husband say, "I can see the bow on your bra". A great relief to both myself and our marriage!!!
