Marilyn Monroe with balconette.
The first balconette women’s bra was created around 1938, but took off in the 1950s after it was made a trend by the star of the era Merilyn Monroe. From the word itself, we understand that the balconette bra has the architecture to support and enhance the breasts. The 3 key elements of the women’s balconette bra are the wide straps, the low cup cut and the partial coverage of the breasts. The wide straps are one of the most iconic elements of the balconette bra while the low cut is suitable for women with larger breasts giving an attractive shape to the bust. In balconette bras the upper part of the breast is highlighted as the structure supports the breast underneath without creating extra pressure. Breast coverage is usually provided by a demi or ¾ cup.
The balconette bras can be worn through blouses or low-cut dresses and shirts. They are ideal for women with large breasts and a broad chest.
A favourite choice in Luna Splendida‘s lingerie collections :
Balconette ¾ cup from the Crystal collection with low neckline, removable padding and luxurious lurex details.

Party away bralette
Bralette bras have won over many women in recent years. The idea of bralettes is not new, however, as there are reports that in the 1920s and 1930s women wore underwear that resembled today’s bralettes. They do not have the architectural structure of the classic bras nor do they provide equivalent support yet they are a comfortable option for women who want to avoid the bralette. The fabrics used in bralettes are cotton, lycra, lace or even tulle. Bralette bras can be found in cup sizes and also in a range of small – xlarge. They are usually chosen by women with small or medium sized breasts. Depending on their design they can be worn through any outfit and are often a styling element for a look and can be seen through slides of clothing.

Full cup bras are large cup bras that fully cover the breasts while providing maximum support. The cups on these bras cover the entire breast covered up to the top and also the cleavage offering great security to women with large breasts. Although the cups are the main feature of these bras important element is the structure of the straps. Compared to balconette bras the straps on full cup bras are closer to the shoulders. In addition, the straps may be wider especially if in larger bra sizes. At Luna Splendida you can find full cup bras more simple and minimal as well as designs with embroidery and elegant lace.
