Empowering Women: Wacoal’s Breast Shape Series And The Journey To Finding Your Fit

Breast shape is an important factor in finding the perfect bra fit, and our breast shape guide is here to empower you to identify yours.

Wacoal’s Breast Shape Series is essential viewing, and here is why:

To find the perfect bra for your body, breast shape must be considered. Different bra styles are constructed to support different breast shapes, and knowing what shape you have will inform what bra you should wear.

Our YouTube series covers the five breast shapes, and with the help of Wacoal’s Head of Design, Miryha Fantegrossi, these videos will guide you to find yours so you can shop for bras accordingly.

The other part of this equation is identifying your correct bra size, and our

online fit tools make that very simple to do on your own or with a Wacoal Fit Expert, virtually or in person.

What Are The Different Breast Shapes?

Below is a summary of the characteristics of different breast shapes. To identify your shape, watch our Shape Series videos for more detailed descriptions, and this Breast Shape Guide also has helpful visual cues.

Round

Back Appeal® Underwire Bra

Breasts with the nipple in the center and volume that appears equal both above and below the nipple are considered round. Look for bras with open wire so the breast will sit comfortably inside the cups and enough coverage at the neckline to contain the breast tissue without puckering the skin, like Back Appeal® Underwire Bra.

East/West

Inside Job Underwire Bra

When there is significant space between breasts, and the nipple placement swoops toward the sides of the body, the breast shape is East/West. Our Inside Job Underwire Bra is a great choice for this shape because it has a hidden sling in the cups designed to provide side support and center your bust within your frame.

Uneven

Shape Revelation™ Uneven Underwire Bra

If there is a noticeable (i.e., a full cup) difference in size between breasts, the breast shape is uneven. Our NEW Shape Revelation™ Uneven Underwire Bra is designed with adjustable front straps so you can align breast tissue as needed for even support and a balanced silhouette.

Shallow Top

Shape Revelation™ Shallow Top Contour Bra

When the majority of the breast tissue and volume sits under the nipple, breasts have a shallow top. Our NEW Shape Revelation™ Shallow Top Contour Bra has cups with custom-shaped pads that restore volume for an all-around snug fit and rounded look.

Pendulous

Shape Revelation™ Pendulous Underwire Bra

If nipples are pointing down and the soft breast tissue is situated vertically, with the weight closer to the nipple, the breast shape is pendulous. Our NEW Shape Revelation™ Pendulous Underwire Bra features cups with bonded panels that wrap around the sides and bottom for ultimate lift and support.
