What is a three-piece cup?
A
three-piece cup is when the cup of the bra is comprised of three
pieces of fabric sewn together in a way to push the breast tissue in and
upward, giving better shape and support.
Why do I need a three-piece
cup?
Seamed
three-piece bras are a great option for heavier busts and often
provide better fit and lift when compared to their seamless
counterparts. The arched transverse seam curves along the bra cup and
gives a more rounded shape to the breast tissue while also being very
supportive.
What bra should I consider?
The
Madison Balcony Bra from
Prima Donna is a great example of a
three-piece cup. This underwire bra has a sensual balconette bust
line and deep cups. Finished with lace that hugs your curves, the
check pattern on the lower cups gives a fresh youthful look. This new
addition to Beestung is exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear,
while still being gorgeous. It is also available in nude and black from band size 30-38 and cup size D-G.
Do the seams show under
clothing?
You
will find that a three-piece bra will work under about 90% of your
wardrobe. Most bra manufacturers make the seams as flat as possible.
After a few days wear, the weight of your breast tissue helps to
further flatten the seam to give a smooth and invisible look under
almost all tops. Under white t-shirts and form fitting clothing, the
seam may be slightly visible. Layering with a camisole will help the
seam to disappear too.
