What is a balconette bra?

A balconette bra is characterized by its open, straight-across neckline and wider-set straps that attach closer to the outer cup edge, creating a naturally rounded and lifted silhouette with approximately half to three-quarters coverage. This engineered design provides lift "up" rather than pushing "in," making it an ideal choice for square and wide necklines where you want an elegant, open décolletage without visible straps.

The balconette's construction delivers targeted support through its horizontal cup line and strategic strap placement, which works particularly well under boat necks, scoop necks, and sweetheart tops.
