What is a Longline Bra?  

A bra with a taller band below the cups that extends down towards the midriff more than 1" is considered a longline bra. Longline bands can be used for aesthetic purposes to add a pretty touch to a bra, or they can provide shaping similar to a corset.  Getting the correct size is challenging when they also cover the torso.  You may need to sister-size up to get more room in the waist (e.g. 38D move to a 40C).  Consult our size charts to see waist measurements for band sizes.

Longline Bras

Vintage glamour meets modern style

When you think of a longline bra, a vintage, old-fashioned bra that looks more like a bustier may come to mind. However, in modern times, this feminine and supportive bra style is making a huge comeback! A happy medium between a traditional underwire bra and a classic bustier, longline bras have become a popular style alternative for women who want a bra that gives them support, smooth lines, and a beautiful, attractive look. Not to mention, longline push up bras give you a great shape under your clothes! This ready-for-anything, stylish go-to longline strapless bra is designed to accentuate your curves, support your breasts, and give you a flattering fit. 

By definition, vintage longline bras are bras that have bands that extend to the waist or lower (as opposed to the thin band of a regular bra). This longer band helps create a smooth, slim line from the bottoms of the cups and down through the waist. The extra amount of support around the waist helps keeps the bra cups up and in place, taking strain off the shoulder straps and the back. Longline bras can also relieve back pain and discomfort when standing for long periods of time, while also helping improve posture. Similar to a traditional bustier, the longline bra style is considered by many to be a combination of a traditional bra and a piece of shapewear. It also helps eliminate bumps and bulges from the underbust down – making you look better in your tighter fitting tops and dresses.

The vintage longline bra category includes a wide range of different styles, some more practical and basic, some more trendy and eye-catching, and others more formal and constructed like bridal and special occasion lingerie. The main feature all longline bras have in common is the extra wide band. Our selection of longline bras includes plus sizes and a variety of colors, patterns and materials to choose from for work, play, and everything in between.
