The plunge bra is defined by its front: instead of the usual horizontal or slightly scooped center, the gore between the cups dips into a deep V or U. This lets the wearer pair it with wrap dresses, deep-V tops, and anything cut low at the neckline without the bra peeking out.
Plunge bras often have push-up padding but not always — the plunge is about the shape of the gore, not the lift.
How to Identify
- Deep V or U-shaped center gore (the fabric between the cups)
- Cups tilted inward toward the gore
- Straps often set slightly outward
- Typically underwired for support at the plunge point
