Is choosing the right bra a mystery? Do you know which bra to wear with your outfits? Does your lingerie company talk to you in bra speak? Soma believes in being completely open-kimono when it comes to helping you choose your undergarments. That’s why we’ve created a complete Bra Fit Experience, where you’ll find videos, tips for choosing the perfect bra, expert fit advice and more—like the Soma Bra Glossary. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find there:

BRA STYLES

  • Full Coverage Bra – Offers the most coverage in a bra, covering most of the bust.
  • Average Coverage Bra – Covers about ½” to 1″ less of the bust than a Full Coverage Bra.
  • Multi Way Bra – Features convertible straps that may be worn in multiple ways: strapless, halter, one-shoulder, and crisscross.
  • Minimizer – A bra that reduces the bust from 1 to 3 inches for a slimmer profile.
