The biggest question you may have is, what’s a plunge bra exactly? It’s a style that has underwires shaped like a J rather than a U, meaning they are much lower at the centre of your body than on other bra types. The resulting angled cups offer less coverage but still plenty of support, so don’t assume they’re only for when you want to look sexy – they also make for fabulous everyday bras!
It’s the kind of bra plunge necklines require when you don’t want your bra to show. However, some special occasion or club wear outfits call for what’s known as an extreme plunge bra to keep it hidden. Also called a U plunge bra due to its shape, this extra low plunge bra has a wide band, allowing the centre of the ‘neckline’ of the bra to dip down even lower on your ribcage. This ultra-deep plunge bra is exactly what you need to wear the lowest of garment necklines without your bra being visible.
In fact, some outfits require an even more specialist design in order to stay hidden, such as a strapless plunge bra, or a U plunge backless strapless bra (isn’t that a mouthful!). Wonderbra’s Ultimate Plunge Bra is a backless plunge bra that’s particularly popular because it allows you to feel perfectly supported while appearing to go braless under clothing that’s both open-backed and cleavage-flaunting.
Our collection also includes fashion-forward plunge bras by Parfait and Sans Complexe, which will bring a sexy touch to your daily wardrobe. With stylish details such as lace and embroidered trims, some of them actually look amazing peeking out from a partially-unbuttoned blouse for a night out, rather than being worn for the purpose of staying hidden!
Overall, we aim to bring you all of the best plunge bras in Australia, whatever your vibe. Whether you’re looking for a regular or plus size plunge bra and whether you want a smooth contour plunge bra or a sexy lace one, find your new favourite here at Style Gallery and benefit from fast delivery to all Australia and New Zealand addresses.
Plunge Bras - Common FAQ
Q1. What does a plunge bra do?
A plunge bra has angled cups and a particularly low centre-front, preventing it from showing when you want to wear a deep-necked outfit. It also creates cleavage without requiring additional padding, so you can get a sexy look in a sheer fabric.
Q2. Why wear a plunge bra?
A plunge bra is a great addition to your lingerie drawer for many reasons, not just for times you want to show some cleavage! Plunges can also enhance comfort for women with close-set breasts since the centre-front of the bra sits just below the breasts rather than trying to fit in between them. And this is often the only bra plunge necklines can be paired with (besides stick-on options) without it showing.
Q3. Is a plunge bra the same as a push up bra?
A plunge bra and push up bra are both popular choices when aiming for a sexy look, but they’re not the same thing. A push up bra physically lifts your bust (by putting a padded ‘cushion’ below it) whereas a plunge bra just reveals more of your natural cleavage when compared to a balconette or fuller-cupped bra. It’s possible to find bras that are both i.e. push-up plunge bras, which are plunge-shaped bras that contain push-up padding.
Q4. Who can wear a plunge bra?
Anyone! You can easily find a deep plunge bra that will fit and support you whether you wear an A cup or a G cup. Whatever your size, if you want to find a sexy bra plunge styles are well worth looking into!
