Half Cup Bras
Our Half Cup bras—also known as balcony or demi bras—create a beautiful, uplifted bust shape and are perfect for low or wide-neck tops. They're designed to show just enough while still offering comfort and support, making them ideal for both special occasions and stylish everyday wear.
Contrary to popular belief, Half Cup bras aren't just for smaller busts. At The Foundation, we carry a curated selection of Half Cup bras that flatter fuller figures too, thanks to clever design and supportive structure. From smooth moulded cups to delicate lace styles, our range includes brands like Chantelle, PrimaDonna, Marie Jo, Simone Pérèle, Panache, Empreinte and more.
Drop into one of our stores in Neutral Bay, Rozelle or Bowral (Lin & Barrett) for a personalised bra fitting—because the right fit changes everything.
What is a Half Cup bra?
A half cup bra—also known as a balcony or demi bra—covers about half to two-thirds of the bust, offering lift and a rounded, uplifted shape. It’s perfect for open necklines and lower-cut tops.
Can Half Cup bras support larger bust sizes?
Yes! Many styles in our collection feature reinforced cups and underwire for added structure. Brands like PrimaDonna and Empreinte make half cup bras that cater to larger cup sizes without sacrificing comfort.
What’s the difference between a Half Cup and a Full Cup bra?
A Full Cup bra covers the entire bust, offering maximum support and coverage, while a Half Cup bra provides uplift and a more revealing neckline. Each suits different outfits and preferences.
Are Half Cup bras comfortable for daily wear?
Absolutely. With soft linings, well-placed seams, and wide straps, many Half Cup bras are designed for day-long comfort. They're stylish yet practical enough for regular wear.
Do Half Cup bras come in padded or non-padded options?
Yes. We carry both padded and unpadded styles to suit your needs. Whether you're after subtle shaping or a more natural silhouette, there’s a Half Cup bra for you at The Foundation.
