The meaning of the word demi is half, hence a demi-cup bra doesn’t cover the entire bust area, rather it gives support to breasts, and lets them be revealed partially. The purpose of a demi-cup bra is to enhance the cleavage but not prominently, by lifting busts slightly and drawing attention to the center.
What is the difference between a demi and balconette bra?
Both the balconette and demi-cup styles offer less coverage than full cup bras. The demi-cup—meaning”half-cup” in French–gives less coverage. The balconette does the same while pushing boobs up to the “balcony.” In practical terms, the demi-cup has more of a square neckline, while balconettes create a sweetheart shape.
Who can wear a demi bra?
Who should wear a demi bra? Every woman can wear a demi bra, since the half cup shape works for most breast shapes. Especially if your breasts are fuller at the bottom than at the top, the demi bra will fit perfectly. Compared to a full cup bra, the demi bra offers a little less support.
