Why every woman needs a three-part cup bra.
A good fitting bra is an essential in every woman’s closet especially for fuller women. And other than the band and cup of a bra, the seams of a bra play an important role in how your bra fits and the extent of uplift you get.
Bras usually come in various seams – from partly seamed, vertical seamed, to moulded cups and three-part cups among others. In this post however, our focus is on three-part seamed cups.
What is a Three-Part Seamed Cup?
A three-part seamed cup according to Estelle Puleston of Etsy Lingerie, is “made from 3 pieces of fabric – two at the bottom and one at the top. The bottom section has a vertical seam which provides support and uplift. However, there is also a horizontal or diagonal seam that goes across the breast. The more horizontal that this seam is, the more rounded a shape the bra will have. A three-part cup offers a lot of support but slightly less uplift than a purely vertically-seamed one.”

- It provides better support for heavier breasts because the seams make them sturdier. The direction it is sewn in affects the extent of support and uplift.
- Vertical seam directs the breast tissue upward thus providing incredible lift.
- The horizontal seam provides support and the more horizontal it is, the more rounded the breasts will be. A three part cup bra generally provides stellar shaping.
- It enhances your natural shape. A three part cup bra will adjust to your specific body directing the tissue as needed.
- Three part cup bras can come in moulded or unpadded, unlined styles and are perfect for every one, especially fuller women because they give great support, shaping and lift.
