A specialised collection of 38H bras designed for the 38-inch ribcage and 11-inch bust differential. We feature styles from Elomi, Sculptresse, and Panache that focus on wide-wire comfort, ensuring the underwire fully encapsulates the breast tissue without digging into the underarm.
Fit & Structure for Size 42H
The Dynamics of the 42H Fit
Size 42H requires a robust foundation. Standard narrow bands often fail at this size, leading to the bra shifting during movement. Our collection focuses on brands like Goddess and Elomi that utilise "bandless" or "deep band" construction. These designs sit lower on the ribcage with wider wings, providing a secure anchor point that distributes the bust weight evenly across the torso.
Key Support Features
To ensure a secure and flattering fit, our 42H range utilises specific structural elements:
- Three to Four Hook Fastenings: To prevent the back band from narrowing under tension, our 42H styles typically feature wider hook-and-eye closures. This stability is crucial for maintaining lift throughout the day.
- Powernet Wings: We prioritise styles with firm Powernet fabric in the wings. This breathable but strong mesh grips the body to prevent slippage, while enclosed elastic edges ensure a smooth line under clothing.
- High Centre Gore: In a full cup 42H, a higher centre gore helps to separate the breasts, preventing them from meeting in the middle and ensuring the wires tack flat against the sternum for maximum support.
Sister Sizing Adjustment
If the 42H band feels too tight, the direct sister size is a 44GG. If the band feels too loose, the sister size is a 40HH.
