Shop perfectly fitting bras and bustiers
Few products are as close to the skin as underwear. bras and bustiers and so they carry an important responsibility: they must provide support, fit comfortably, and be both hardwearing and aesthetically pleasing. SCHIESSER offers a wide selection of bra styles that combine a perfect fit with outstanding wear comfort. The SCHIESSER bra guide helps you find your bra size and offers tips on achieving the right fit and choosing the right bra style.
What is the most comfortable bra?
Since every woman's bust shape and size is unique, your bra should fit you perfectly — without pinching, pressing, or cutting in — while still providing support. When you move your upper body or arms, the bra should not shift uncomfortably. It should sit at the same height at the front and back, with its cups enclosing your bust with every movement.
In addition to the cups, the straps are of particular importance. Only when their length is correctly adjusted will they neither cut into your shoulders nor slip down. Classic underwired bras are very popular when it comes to comfort. If you prefer not to have an integrated underwire, you can opt for a wireless soft bra, which can be worn comfortably in everyday life thanks to its exceptionally soft material.
Not only the style, but also the material is decisive: whether you prefer natural cotton or breathable and elastic microfibre quality depends on your level of activity and personal preferences. The SCHIESSER bra lines Unique Micro, Air, Casual Seamless, and Classic Seamless offer the right wear comfort for every requirement.
Finding the right bra for every occasion
When searching for a bra, it is not only a matter of finding a comfortable all-rounder for everyday wear, but also of selecting the right bra for every occasion. Bra styles are as varied as the women who wear them. Whether in the office, during sport, or at formal occasions — the extensive range of SCHIESSER bras offers you specialist cuts and materials for your everyday needs.
Underwired bras:
The classic among bras, the underwired bra is a practical all-rounder for everyday wear. Underwired bra styles are suitable for almost all bust sizes and offer reliable support. Thanks to the integrated underwire and the padded, lined, or moulded cups, your bust is gently supported. Cup bras with underwire are considered particularly comfortable by many wearers. A special variant of the underwired bra is the spacer bra. Thanks to its three-dimensional fabric structure, it is especially breathable and quick-drying.
Wireless bras:
Thanks to clever cuts and innovative materials, wireless bra styles require no metal underwire to support your bust while simultaneously providing a comfortable wearing experience. Particularly popular are soft bras made from soft, snug knitwear that adapts perfectly to your body shape. Triangle bras with their triangular cups also tend to be wire-free. Since they additionally forgo padding, they give your bust a natural appearance. Likewise wire-free, bralettes are suitable for smaller to medium bust sizes.
Push-up bras:
By gently lifting your bust, the push-up bra perfectly accentuates your neckline. Push-up bras with their padded cups are particularly suitable if you have a smaller bust. Balconette bras also create a fuller neckline thanks to their low-cut style.
Minimiser bras:
A minimiser bra allows you to create the optical impression of a smaller bust, thanks to specially designed soft cups. It is particularly suited to larger bust sizes.
Sports bras:
Sports bras are designed for physical activity and maximum freedom of movement. They provide your bust with optimum support and minimise movement. They are also made from breathable materials.
What is better — a bra or a bustier?
Both bras and bustiers support your bust and fit comfortably. Depending on their construction, however, bustiers tend to be more suitable for smaller to medium bust sizes. If you have a cup size C or larger, you should opt for a bra that provides your bust with adequate support.
Bras with lace and tasteful details
A bra should fit perfectly, provide support, and above all be comfortable. Naturally, aesthetics also play a role. Whether you prefer skin-toned fabrics, plain-coloured bras, or bustiers with vibrant prints is entirely a matter of personal taste. Thoughtful details make SCHIESSER bras and bustiers genuine eye-catchers in every respect. For that certain something, delicate lace at the neckline as well as decorative bows, blossoms, or sparkling stones at the centre piece add a special touch. Filigree embroidery or fine lace through which skin subtly shimmers lends SCHIESSER Lingerie a particularly elegant and aesthetic allure. To complete your lingerie set, it is worth combining your bra or bustier with a coordinating brief in a matching design.
Washing bustiers and bras
Bras and bustiers are in very close contact with your skin. During sport or in warm temperatures, underwear must absorb perspiration and ensure a dry feeling against the skin. You should therefore wash your bras and bustiers regularly. Since washing too frequently can damage the material, a gentle wash after three or four wears is recommended. If you perspire more heavily or after sport, you should launder them sooner to keep them hygienic.
As a general rule: follow the care instructions on the label of your bra. Hand washing with a delicate detergent is usually the most gentle method. If you wash your bra in the machine, you should fasten it beforehand. It is also advisable to use a laundry bag and to select the delicate wash programme. Bras and bustiers can then simply be left to dry on the washing line.
