Why do bras look bulky?

Bras look bulky due to thick padding or foam cups with sewn (rather than bonded) edges, poor fit that creates gaping or spillage, and bands or wings that are too narrow or tight, causing tissue to push over edges and create visible lines under clothing.

Additionally, hardware like rings and hooks, textured seams, and lace can show through thin or clingy tops, while the wrong color choice under white garments makes bras more visible.

Modern bras engineered with bonded construction and wider smoothing wings deliver the coverage and support you need without the visual weight of traditional designs.
