Despite being a garment that we wear every day, the bra is the great unknown of our closet. The carvings are for many an indecipherable mystery, and of the different models and forms we better not even talk. One of the most recognized is the balconette bra (not to be confused with the bralette!). In fact, the balconette is the favorite of all audiences and sizes. You want to know why?
The balconette bra is the essential model in any underwear drawer worth its salt. It is the most feminine and most used model in the world, since Marilyn Monroe rescued it from the trunk of an artist and popularized it in the 50s. Its name is true to its function, since the effect produced by this model is the same as a balcony: collect and hide the bottom but shows part of what is in it. It is also called demi (semi in English) for its medium cup coverage, not total.

Pattern and clothing
The pattern of the balconette bra is surely the most recognizable: rather straight cut cups that do not cover the entire chest until a few centimeters above the nipple; if the cup has seam, it will always be straight and vertical, if it is a foam cup or even push-up, they will be straight or slightly bulged on the top. The straps are far apart from each other, closer to the arm than the central part, and in many cases can be removed.

The effect is precisely half cup: the balconette bra holds the lower part of the chest, while leaving the upper part looser. The feeling is to carry a tray, rather than a bra. The key is a well structured garment with great support of the back and bottom band: with this it is possible to support and raise the chest, while exposing part of the upper skin.
The sexiest bra ...

The balconette bra is the favorite of the necklines. And is that any neckline looks better with a balconette underneath, especially if it is pronounced neckline. The effect they produce is to enhance the natural shape of the chest. The cup covers only the lower half, giving support "from below", which manages to round and lift the chest evenly.
... and the most comfortable

The balconette bra: subject. Really. And it is also very comfortable. It is possible that "firsts" in the balconette universe (if there is any left) have a hard time getting used to: it is another type of support, especially when you have matter to hold. But if you are one of them, give it a chance: once the initial prejudices have been overcome (“it does not cover me, everything is seen, it moves, it lifts me more”), you will not want to take it away.
For all the women

div style="text-align: justify;"> Some tricks for the most distrustful sizes: you have to make sure that the back band holds well and that the front part between the cups stays in place. The straps can be wider or not so on the sides. And the most effective trick: if the garment is made with non-elastic fabrics, the support is multiplied. Aren't you going to try it?
Practical data: when do I wear it?
The balconette bra is the quintessential model for necklines, more if they are pronounced, straight, square or empire cut: the position of the straps helps clear the neckline, and can even be removed. But it is not only practical for complex necklines, it is also very comfortable for day to day. In fact, our favorite garment to combine it is the shirt, be it a work uniform, colorful flowers, a formal meeting or dinner and drink.

To combine with any outer garment, you can choose a balconette bra of any type: there are no foam cup and vertical seam, with foam cup, with padding or push-up, without straps ... And variations of all the above, in shapes , textures, colors and ornaments.
Of course: always be the right size, if you do not want to feel discomfort from the first moment. Make sure with the size meter and take the test. Of course, keep in mind that it will always be a little more low-cut than normal, maybe more than you are used to. But give it a chance: when you get used to it you can't take it off.
