Bra Style Guide

Demi Cup Bra - Marie Jo Demi Bras are sexy choice, as they enhance the cleavage presentation and an open neckline. The cup of a demi bra is cut straight across the breasts or at a slight angle. A Demi cut bra will also have widely set straps and showcase a broad neckline. This is a great choice for a shirt that has an open neckline. Demi Bras can also be called as Balconnet Bras.

Full Cup Bra - Marie Jo Full Cup Bras completely contain the breast tissue. Full Cup Bras either minimize or completely eliminate cleavage, depending on how high the cup is cut. Full Cup Bras are a great choice for women who wish to minimize cleavage or for women with an ample bustline. Full Cup Bras provide the most support and coverage of any bra style. Marie Jo Full Cup Bras are stylish and supportive, two qualities that do not often coexist.

Multipositional Bras- Marie Jo offers a multipositional, or convertible bra, in almost every collection. The straps of multi-positional bras can be worn in a variety of positions and silhouettes including a racerback, halter and strapless style.

Padded Bra - Marie Jo has a variety of padded and push up bras for women looking to increase bust size and amplify cleavage.

Many Marie Jo padded bras have removable cookies, or padding, for a more versatile selection.

Plunge Bra – Marie Jo Plunge bras create a sexy plunging "V" presentation and sexy cleavage. Marie Jo Plunge Bras are ideal for low cut, chest baring dresses or tops. Plunge Bras disapear under clothing but do a fabulous job of supporting and shaping. The Marie Jo Avero Plunge is one the most popular plunge bras available.

Racerback Bra - Designed to be invisible under tank tops with a T, Y or X back. Racerback bras are typically sports or athletic bras, but many underwire bras have this special feature as well. Racerback bras are essential for warm weather wardrobing.

Seamless Bra- Better known as a T-Shirt bra, seamless bras disappear under clothing with a smooth, no-frills contour cup. Seamless t-shirt bras are an ideal choice for slim fitting ensembles. Most seamless bras offer a light lining to conceal the nipple.
