Bra shapes and variants

Breast cups in bras are called cups.  These cups can be sewn or moulded so that they play a decisive role in the shape and effect of the entire bra.  Cups, for example, can achieve a push-up effect, appear seamless and smooth under a T-shirt or create a beautiful décolleté with pretty adornments. 
SCHIESSER offers a variety of different cups which promise every woman the highest comfort and an ideal fit.

Molded Cups

Molded cups are bust cups in a bra, which support and shape the breast especially evenly with a completely smooth and seamless surface. With the help of heat and pressure, the cups are permanently shaped in a technical process so that they not only fit comfortably on the skin, but also appear almost invisible, especially under tight-fitting clothing.

Regardless of whether worn on its own as a T-shirt bra or with elegant embellishments, SCHIESSER offers a variety of molded bras which are not only visually convincing but also promise the highest level of comfort and fit.

Underwire-Bra

Shaped underwiring is sewn into many bras, which has a supporting and shaping function. These small, semicircular shaped metal rods are usually made of plastic-coated, thin metal, which is an optimal material combination for such an underwire. The metal not only has a lifting effect on the breast, but also prevents deformation of the plastic due to body heat. Underwired bras are particularly suitable for larger cups and for women who prefer a supportive wearing sensation. Ideally, bras with underwires should be washed in a laundry bag.

Balconette Bra

The Balconette bra has been a popular underwear item for low decolletés since the 50s. Compared to conventional bras, the straps of this style are positioned far out to reveal the most important thing, just like on a balcony: a beautiful neckline. The underwiring at the bottom raises the bust slightly, making it appear full and round. A Balconette bra is therefore ideally suited for low-cut clothing.  The straps can often be removed, making it the ideal companion for all strapless tops or shoulderless dresses.
