Bras with Side Boning Support that Hold Up Larger Busts
If you're larger busted, you probably need extra support in your bra. Women with smaller busts don't need bras with side support slings and boning, but if you're a D or bigger, or you have a full bust on a small frame, you'll need more support than a plain bra can give. This is why, sadly, larger bras rarely come in a demi-cup. There's just not enough bra to hold everything in.
The band should do most of the work, but if you have a big bust, and need a larger cup size, you'll need a bra with slings, panels, or boning (or all three!).
This means either a piece of fabric under the arm, or at the bottom of the cups. Boning or extra panels on the side move you forward (better projection and less east-west); extra support along the bottom of the cups will help lift and support your breasts. Slings that go entirely around the cups give you more projection, push in from the sides, and push your breasts forward.
Elia Full Coverage Side Slings Underwire Bra
Stretch floral lace and pretty colors make this bra both beautiful and supportive. The edges of the cups are even scalloped. It is lace, so there may be some show-through under tight tops or t-shirts. The sides and back are high for extra support and smoothing and the slings extend under the cups.
You may want to size down if you are between cup sizes.
Comes in ivory, red, plum, coral, and black; sizes 36-46 E, F, G, H, I, J, and K.
Elila Lace Soft Cup Bra
If you'd rather skip the underwires, but still want support, try this wirefree version instead.
It's still got lots of lace and you'll get good support from inner slings that encircle the cup and horizontal seaming. The sides and back are high so they'll help smooth out bulges. Boning in the sides of the bra gives you support and helps push you forward.
Comes in blue, white, beige, fuchsia, and black in sizes 36-52 C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K.
Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support Bra
A great everyday bra with clean, simple lines and just a hint of mesh and lace on the top part of the cups. Those cups are cut and sewn for better shaping, support, and lots of lift. This is a good choice if you've got a short upper body, because the straps are fully adjustable along their entire length. That, and the leotard back, means the straps won't slip off shorter bodies.
Then, of course, there are side panels to push everything forward and give you even more support.
UK Sizes 34E-K, 36E-K, 38DD-K, 40DD-K,42DD-K, 44DD-K, 46E-HH in black and beige.
There's also a newer version , called the Elomi Cate. That bra is made with flatter lace (so it won't show as much under clothing) and straps that are closer together. The new one also comes in more colors (white, beige, pecan, raspberry, purple, and black).
Both have an arched center so the band won't dig into your stomach.
Panache Clara Bra with Side Support
Panache bras are well-made and give great support for full busts. This one is no exception. It has two kinds of seaming (across and vertical) for shape and lift, plus slings inside the cups to help support a heavy bust. The high sides help minimize underarm spillage and reduce lumps under your clothes.
The bottom of the cups are opaque with a floral design, topped with sheer floral lace.
Note that the straps are long, and wideset, so it's likely not a good option if you are short or have rounded shoulders.
Sizes 30 F, FF, G; 32, 36, 38 D, DD, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J in beige, taupe/black, ruby/black, pink/gray, and black lace.
Chantelle Pont Neuf 3 Part Bra
There's great support under those lightly striped cups. Side panels help hold you in and push you forward; preventing underarm bulges. Cup seams are flat and angled to minimize show through and give you more support. The angled seam gives you a rounder shape (even though it's a seamed bra), so you'll get a more natural look.
The cups are deep and full coverage, so you may need to adjust your size if you are between sizes. It also makes this a better choice if you are tall or have a long torso.
Comes in ivory, taupe, or black in EU sizes 32B-G; 34, 36 B-H, 38, 40 B-G; 42, 44 C-E.
Chantelle Revele Moi
The sheer mesh along the tops of this bra make it look dainty, but it's also hiding plenty of lift and support. The flat seams hide under your clothes. There are two kinds of seams: transversal (arched) and vertical. That translates to a more rounded shape and better lift and support. The side panels push you forward and center your breasts.
The straps are inset and it has a leotard back to stop strap slippage.
A good choice if you'd rather have a more balcony style bra. It also comes in more colors and an even greater range of sizes than the Pont Neuf bra.
Comes in white, suede, coral, red, and black. Sizes 30D-H; 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, and 43 B-H.
Freya Hero Side Support Panel Plunge Bra
This new bra from Freya is selling like mad. The vertical seams give you great lift and support. The unique side panel design helps push you up and forward, so you get more lift and less side spilling.
Essentially it's lift and bulge control all at the same time. You'll get better projection without a pointy shape.
Comes in white and black in UK sizes 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 D, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, and 38D-H. The black version has a thin silvery design on the edge of the cups and bow.
Fantasie Alex Side Support Bra
This bra boasts sheer lace (backed by sheer mesh for more support and sturdiness), with angled and vertical seams to give you two sources of support and lift.
This has a narrow center, so it's best if you are close-set.
Comes in white, sand, pale pink, cornflower blue (love, love that color), violet, and black. UK sizes 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 D-J; 40 and 42 D-FF.
Fayreform Profile Perfect Bra
Spacer foam helps keep this bra comfortable and lightweight, even in larger sizes. No need to feel as if you're wearing an army tank on your chest! The sides have slings and boning to give you better support and push your tissue forward. However. you'll still get a rounded shape.
The center panel is narrow, so it's best if your breasts are close-set. No seams, so it's a great choice for t-shirts.
Comes in pearl, latte, pink, and black. Sizes 32DD-G, 34D-G, 36D-G, 36D-G, 38D-F, 40 D, DD, and E.
Leading Lady Dreamy Comfort Wirefree Bra
If you'd rather have a wirefree bra that still helps support you, this bra may be just the thing. Horizontal seams help project you forward and give you support. This may be a little more cone-shaped than the other bras on this page.
However, it also has side support slings (made of cotton) that will help give you more lift on the sides of the cups. Control fabric on the back and sides smooths out bulges.
If you need a large band, you're in luck. This bra comes in band sizes up to 52!
Comes in white, beige, pearl/sand, and black. Sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44,46, 48, 50 A, B, C, D, DD, F, and G and 5D-G.
Elila Embroidered Microfiber Soft-cup Bra
Another wire-free option in a great range of sizes. It's got seamed cups to give you both lift and a rounded shape. There are also slings on the sides of the cups and boning on the sides of the bra. That will give you better projection and support.
The sides are tall (which will help contain bulges), but might be uncomfortable if you are short.
White, beige, mocha, sky blue, black, black/silver in sizes 36-54A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
Leading Lady Dreamy Comfort Wirefree Bra
This has double side boning, side support panels outside the cups, as well as slings inside the cups. The inside slings are made of cotton so they're soft and comfortable against your skin.
The combination will give you better projection and lift, as well as centering your bust (no side to side look!) and no spilling out of the sides either. Everything is lifted, supported, and contained.
That's quite a bit of support for a bra without any wires.
Comes in white, beige, and navy in sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44,46, 48, 50 A, B, C, D, DD, F, and G and 5D-G.

And, the cups are lavished with lace, so it's pretty too.
This has a narrow center, so it's best if you are close-set.
