There are a lot of undergarment and other items you can wear underneath a plunging neckline. And nothing is more classic than an underwire plunge bra, in my opinion. In my many (cough since 2005 cough) years as a bra fitter, I often get asked for help finding a good plunge bra. And the truth is that every body and breasts have different needs. And yet, there are some bras that I come back to again and again to recommend. Below are 5 plunge bras that are tried and true, and have been around, supporting people, season after season. That makes them great styles with which to start. Explore this round-up of suggestions and let me know what makes you say hurray!

Do you have a size or style need that you don’t see below? These are just a few plunging bra options that have worked well for lots of my own clients and myself!

Hurray!
A few plunge bra tips:
- Try out different cup depths to get a match for your unique bust shape
- If you have very soft or stretched out breast tissue (perhaps after weight loss or nursing), beware that plunging front tops may result in spillage, even in the correct size
- Decide if you’d like push-up padding for extra volume, or not (try both!)
- Take notice if cups set further apart or closer together fit and feel best for your bust
- It’s up to YOU what you wear and how you feel in it

5. Dominique Talia Front-Close Bra
I’ve only recently gotten to know Dominique bras, and they make me say hurray because they are making affordable, sturdy basics in an amazing size range. I don’t usually go for front-close because there’s less adjustability, but it’s great for the same reason. See for yourself!
