17 Lingerie Brands That Make Sexy Bras for Large Breasts

By Tiffany Dodson, SELF

Because the girls need to wear something that fits.

When you’re gifted with breasts that are larger than life (hi, my name is Tiffany, and I wear a 34I), it can seem nearly impossible to find sexy lingerie for big boobs. You know, something colorful with lace. Before I was educated on my proper bra size, I would’ve settled for just about anything that fit me well—granny-style or not. Lately, I’ve been looking to step out of my comfort zone.

While there are some great mainstream bra options for large-busted women to choose from like Chantelle, Panache, and Freya, there are a few brands bursting onto the scene that are worthy of attention. Smaller lingerie brands, like Avocado and Beija London, are taking the time to fit the needs of women with cups sizes beyond D. Keep in mind that smaller brands, especially ones that specialize in outfitting big boobs, can be pretty pricey. But it's worth spending the money on an amazing fit—and remember, you wear a bra every day.

Read on for a few of my favorite under-the-radar brands for big busts—the girls will thank you.



1

ThirdLove

This indie lingerie brand was created online, and uses real women’s measurements to create their products. ThirdLove uses their "fit finder" technology to help shoppers figure out which of the brand's bras will work best for them based on a series of questions. Bra sizes from this brand range from A-G, and even include some half-size options for anyone who is in between sizes.



2

Wolf & Whistle

Designed for sizes 32B to 36G, every piece made by this UK brand is beautifully made—including their recent lingerie collaboration with actress and model Charlotte McKinney. If you're feeling really adventurous, Wolf & Whistle even has a couple open bra options available to properly showcase the girls. Bonus: All of the brand's lingerie is available for under $50.



3

CUUP

This direct-to-consumer company offers four different styles like the balconette, scoop, and others, available in up to 42 sizes—from 30A-38G. CUUP's products are designed to be easy and minimal, which makes them versatile enough to be worn with just about anything. Bonus: You can get a bra and pair of underwear for under $100.



4

Fleur du Mal

Fleur du Mal has recently launched its first line of extended cup sizes, which run from size 32DD to size 36G in up to seven different styles. Since many of the designs are sheer, you'll look (and feel) sexy while also being properly supported. In addition to lingerie, the brand also creates pieces like bodysuits, slips, sleepwear, and more that offer elevated options for your undergarments.



5

Parfait by Afinitas

This indie brand offers a wide range of style choices, including plunge and stretch mesh styles. There’s literally a bra for every outfit and personality, whether you’re a D cup or a G cup. The best part about this brand is that all the bras are at an affordable price point, around $50.



6

All Undone

If you’re going to treat yourself to a luxury bra, try this British brand. European brands are known for owning the full bust category. All Undone uses high quality silk and lace fabrics to create minimalist designs in sizes D to GG, and it's also great for a tried-and-true T-shirt bra that isn't beige and boring.



7

Playful Promises

With a name like Playful Promises, you know this lingerie is created to be fun and ultra sexy. Many of the pieces have a bondage feel with lots of straps and cut-outs. This brand has a wide sizing range that runs from 28DD–44I, which covers both full bust and plus-size customers. Bonus: Plus-size fashion blogger Gabi Fresh is a recent brand collaborator.



8

Harlow and Fox

Harlow and Fox is the brand to try if you want to feel luxurious. It has vintage vibes with delicate lace and shiny satin. This brand's bras range from a DD to a G cup.



9

Addition Elle

If you’re a fan of Ashley Graham or Jordyn Woods, you may have already heard of Addition Elle because each star has had a collaboration with the brand (Ashley through lingerie, Jordyn through athleisure wear). Addition Elle is known for creating bras for plus-size women with sizing that runs between B and H cups. The company also does clothing and swimwear.



10

Adina Reay

Adina Reay caters specifically to sizes 28DD to 36G. This UK brand offers contemporary and chic lingerie that flatters and supports bigger busts. My favorite thing about Adina Reay is the bright color choices. You can find things in hot pink, chartreuse, and even aquamarine blue. You may even be tempted to try the underwear as outerwear trend after stocking up on a few pieces.



11

Beija London

Beija London organizes their bra sizes by the letters X, Y, and Z, and size Z covers sizes DD to G. I love this brand because there's a youthful aesthetic. The styles come in colors like berry and sky blue, and the cuts are unique—I’ve got my eye on the sheer halter bra. With a brand like this in your underwear drawer, you may look forward to choosing your daily undergarments more than your actual clothes.



12

More by Bluebella

The Bluebella bra brand is one that has gotten a lot of attention over the last year. It's popular with both celebrities and fashion insiders, but few people know that the brand has a full-cup range called More by Bluebella that covers DD-I cups. The extended sizing incorporates the same edgy yet feminine style from the original line.



13

Avocado

The design of these Polish bras is simply breathtaking. Some of my favorite pieces are those with structured detailing or beautiful stretch embroidery, which is intricate and super supportive. You can find sizes that range from D to J, but you’ll have to do a little math to find the band size because everything is in the metric system. Also, build in time for international shipping if you're looking to get your new bra for a particular event.



14

Ewa Michalak

If you're looking for a specific bra type—from balconette to nursing—chances are this brand has it in stock. Supporting sizes 30A to 60F, it’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with at least one of the brand’s signature pieces. In fact, I discovered this brand from all the rave reviews on the "A Bra That Fits" thread on Reddit.



15

Liberté

Liberté started as a project on Kickstarter. Amber Tolliver, a former lingerie model, created the brand with full cup sizes in mind, so Liberté covers C to G cups specifically. While pieces won’t be available until early next year (production begins in December), watch out for lingerie that is beautiful and reliable with a clear NYC aesthetic.



16

Elila

Of all the brands on this list, Elila has the widest range of sizes. This indie brand offers pieces ranging from 34A to 54N, and everything is designed with fashion and purpose top of mind. Elila also creates bra styles exclusively for nursing moms and mastectomy patients.



17

Sculptresse

Created under the brand Panache, this lingerie line is designed exclusively for sizes 34-46D-K, and sizes 14 and up. Sculptresse is known for designing pieces for full-figured women that are not only comfortable and functional, but also super sexy. Bonus: The brand also has a sports bra that fits up to a 34J.
