Pretty Plus Size Bras Designed to Perfectly Fit Fuller Figures

Vanity Fair Women's Plus Size Beauty Back Smoothing Seamless T-Shirt Bra, Toffee Leopard Print, 40D
I've heard many plus size women complain (and rightly so) that it's hard to find pretty plus size bras. Instead of the fun prints and colors that "core" size women enjoy, plus size woman are often faced with a sea of  beige or white. If you're really lucky, you get black. Oh goody.

And then the bras tend to be rather plain as well. Short on mesh, lace, satin, or other decorations smaller sizes take for granted.

Let's face it, most bras for larger sizes are well, I suppose dull would be the kindest way to put it. Every time you want to buy a bra the only options seem to be beige, black, maybe white, and more beige. Where are the pretty bras in larger sizes and in color?

Whether it's a special occasion, or just because it's Tuesday, sometimes you want something a bit more fun!  Something with more ooomph! than beige.

Finally, bra manufacturers are starting to catch on. I mean, I sure wouldn't want to wear basic colors all the time.  Why should larger women be stuck?

So, here they are. Pretty plus size bras with prints, sheer mesh, lace, and a rainbow of colors. Feast your eyes on cranberry, blue, fuchsia, petrol, leopard prints, geometric designs, and florals.

Pretty Print Bras for Plus Size Women


Vanity Fair Women's Plus Size Beauty Back Smoothing Seamless T-Shirt Bra, Toffee Leopard Print, 40D

A new version of the Beauty Back bra, this time with prints.  Bring out your "animal" side with this leopard print bra that also works hard to make you look good.  It's got smoothing sides and back to keep bulges from well, bulging and give you a smooth, sleek look.

The bra is soft and seamless so nothing shows through your clothing and the leotard back and inset straps help stop slipping and sliding.

White, beige, jacquard (black, white, damask, blue, cranberry, holly, quartz violet), blue, black, pale pink, leopard, pale leopard, and lace print in US sizes 36C-42DD.



Elomi Morgan Stretch Lace Banded Underwire Bra (4110),32GG,Twilight

Elomi really nails plus size and pretty.  I actually saw one person complaining that she loved the prints, but also wanted plain beige. Not something you see too often from someone who wears a 36H.

Multi-part cups and seaming give this bra lots of shaping. The pretty design hides extra wide side support panels that keep everything pushed forward instead of under your arms.

The leotard back keeps the straps in place (rather than sliding off your shoulders).  The center panel is wide (better for wide-set breasts).


Comes in sizes 32GG-K; 34 G-K; 36, 38, 40 DD-K; 42DD-HH; 44DD-G; and 46DD in almond print, ebony print, twilight, serengeti (leopard), and several other fashion prints


GODDESS Kayla Support Underwire Bra (6162),34I,Paradise

Comfortably enough to wear all day, and it comes in fun prints too.

It's also got fantastic support from cut-and-sewn five-part cups and multiple seams.  The transverse seams shape and round, and the vertical ones give you more lift and support.

The lower part of the cup is control fabric (for more support) and a firmer fit. The top is sheer mesh so it looks lighter and prettier (and like less bra).

Dark leopard, and lots of floral, bright, and pastel prints.

US sizes 34 I-N, 36I-N, 38 through 42 DD-N, 44DD-L, and 46 DD-K.


Look thinner with the right bra

A bra that fits properly will lift your breast tissue and make you look slimmer.


Pretty Lace Plus Size Bras


Sculptresse by Panache Women's Plus Size Chi Full Cup Bra (7695)

A beautiful and supportive bra with lots of stretch and elastic for a customized fit. Extra support and side slings push everything up and forward (raising your chest and pulling in your stomach so you look thinner). The center is arched so your stomach won't rub into the bottom of your bra.

They don't have every color in each size, but most won't be limited to just beige and black (I checked)!

Runs a bit small in the cups, you may want to order a size up. Also, Panache tends to be best if you're medium height to tall and your breasts are close together.

Comes in cappuccino, black and 6 floral prints. EU sizes 36F-HH, 38E-HH, 40DD-HH, 42D-HH, 44D-HH, and 46DD-HH.

Elila Isabella Lace Full Coverage Bra 34E, Plum

Lacy, chic, and no beige! The cups are slightly stretchy, so you'll get a better fit. Those cups are covered with pretty lace, which extends up onto the front of the straps.  No plain Jane bra here.

You also get lots of support. The bra has inner slings, two kinds of seams, and a high back to deliver better lift, push you forward, and tamp down on back bulges.

Comes in ivory, teal, gray, red, plum, coral or black.

Elila sizes 36-46 E, F, G, H, I, J, and K.

Note that Elila has its own sizing system. You'll need to take your rib measurement (under your bust) and then add four inches. So if the measuring tape says 34 inches, add four inches to that for 38.  If you are a band size above 36, go up a band size and reduce two cup sizes.  So if you are normally 38H, get the 40F.



Glamorise Full Figure Plus Size Wonderwire Front-Closure Bra Underwire #1245 Blue

A pretty, plus-size bra that's easy to close and definitely does not look like a granny bra. The lace is soft and comfy, and the straps are padded for better comfort. Even the underwire is cushioned.  Plus, the back is high to squash back bulges.

But all that comfort doesn't mean you have to give up glamor. You still get sheer, pretty lace. And they've increased the available cup sizes to F, and added some large band small cup sizes (in B cups) too.

Available in white, cafe, leopard, navy print, mocha, cappuccino, blue, and black, sizes 36B-F, 38 B-F, 40B-F, 42B-F, 44B-F and 46B-F.

Pretty, Sheer Plus Size Bras


Elomi Matilda Banded Plunge Underwire Bra (8900),32GG,Leopard

Who says plus size bras can't be chic and still be supportive?

Topped with sheer panels and embroidered dots along the top of the cups, this bra delivers good looks in cup sizes as high as JJ.

There are vertical seams for lift and side panels to give you more support.  High sides and back ensure there are no lumps or bumps.

Comes in white with pink trim, pearl, black, cafe, and several fashion colors (like teal and berry -- not all sizes still available0.

UK sizes 32GG-JJ, 34G-JJ, 36DD-JJ, 38DD-JJ, 40DD-JJ, 42DD-JJ, 44DD-G, 46 DD.

Elomi Women's Plus Size Sachi Strappy Underwire Plunge Bra, Black, 38G

Based on the same "frame" as Matilda, this bra brings the strappy trend to plus sizes (because why should smaller sizes have all the great styles to themselves?).   Let the strappy design peek through your shirts for a bit of fun.

The cups are sheer and unlined for maximum sexiness.  Even the back and sides are sheer mesh. That sheer fabric hides lots of support.  There are seams for lift and shaping, and side panels that push you out and forward and give you a rounded, flattering look. 


UK sizes 32GG-JJ, 34G-JJ, 36DD-JJ, 38DD-JJ, 40DD-JJ, 42DD-JJ, 44DD-G, 46 DD in black or navy.

Plus Size T-Shirt Bras That Aren't Beige


Vanity Fair Women's Beauty Back Full Figure Underwire Bra (76380-Fashion Colors), Berry Charming Orchid, 36DD

Refined and simple, with no frills or fuss.  It's contoured for modesty (rather than adding extra size), so it's comfortable and lightweight.

The high back and sides smooth out unsightly bulges and keep your clothes looking the way they should.

A leotard (U-shaped) back keeps the straps securely on your shoulders.

Comes in red, rose, lilac, black, gray, and white.

Also more colors (but fewer sizes) here in indigo, mulberry, cranberry, orchid, opal, burgundy, white, beige, ivory, damask, toffee, coffee, pink, mint, walnut, pink, purple, white, blackberry, fig, berry, and primrose. Some colors have a lace overlay.

Playtex Women's Secrets Shapes & Supports Balconette Full-Figure Underwire Bra US4823
The low cut front won't show under plunging necklines, and the straps are just slightly padded (so are the cups). Just enough for comfort and modesty without adding any extra bulk you don't need or want.

The bra is bandless, with an arched center, so it's more comfortable if you have a larger stomach or a short torso.

Some colors have a textured band or lace along the tops of the cups and straps.

Comes in US sizes 36B-46DD (different colors in different sizes), including lilac dot, navy jacquard, teal jacquard, red jacquard, white, black, shell/steel, magenta, red, aqua, and black/white dot.


Playtex 18-Hour Ultimate Lift Wireless Bra, Wirefree Bra with Support, Full-Coverage Wireless Bra for Everyday Comfort, Galactic Red, 38B

Support panels along the sides and bottom give this bra good lift and support, even without any wires.  You'll look rounded and natural, not padded. It's also lightweight and has a pretty design on the cups (no plain, boring bra).  The back and sides also have control fabric (like control top pantyhose for your bra) to keep you smooth and tamp down on bulges.

White, black, beige, heather, taupe, shell, blue velvet, pearl, steel, pale blue, peach, magenta, and red in US sizes 36 B- 44DDD (not all sizes in all colors).
