Myth Busting: “I Have One Bust Bigger Than the Other”
Almost every woman has some degree of asymmetry. Just like our hands and feet, it’s perfectly normal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. The key isn’t chasing perfection; it’s creating balance, comfort, and confidence.
1. Fit the Larger Side
Always fit to the fuller breast. A bra that accommodates the larger side ensures proper lift and support. If the difference is more than a cup size, a lightweight pad on the smaller side can restore balance.
Elila bras like 1305, 1303, and 1803 feature full cup slings that not only support and center the bust but also help hold an insert securely in place when needed.
2. Elastic Edging Smooths the Fit
Styles like 2311 and 2818 include elastic edging at the top cup. This detail flexes to hug each breast evenly, smoothing neckline differences without cutting in on the fuller side or gaping on the smaller side.
3. Stretch Lace for a Custom Balance
Our stretch lace cups naturally adapt to each breast, creating a supportive yet flexible fit. This is a subtle, body-friendly solution that works with a woman’s shape, rather than trying to mask it with molded or padded cups.
4. Built-In Solutions for Asymmetry
Some Elila bras take balance even further. Styles 2511 and 2101 are designed with stretch panels that act like camisoles. These panels soften the neckline and visually even out differences, giving a smooth, modest, and balanced silhouette under clothing.
5. Balance Comes from Alignment
Symmetry is less about identical volume and more about where the high points of the bust sit. When the fullest point of each breast is aligned, the overall look is balanced and centered — even if one side is naturally larger.
6. Underfill Isn’t Failure
If one side doesn’t fully fill the bottom of the cup, it doesn’t mean the fit is wrong. As long as the fuller breast is fully supported and lifted, the bra is doing its job. Elila’s designs are engineered to support the bust as a whole, adapting to natural differences without compromise.
Retailer Takeaway
Asymmetry is not a flaw; it’s the norm. With elastic edging (2311, 2818), stretch lace, camisole-style panels (2511, 2101), and full cup slings (1305, 1303, 1803), Elila bras help women feel balanced and confident without relying on heavy padding or molded cups.
