The balcony bikini top: ideal for beautifully lifting the bust
The bikini top known as "balconette" or "balcony" is the most suitable shape for a bust lacking firmness. Its cut allows for supporting your breasts from underneath and lifting them naturally. This also applies to lingerie!
This type of swimsuit is characterized by structured cups slightly lower on the top for optimal bust support, as opposed to a full-cup shape which would be more covering on the top of the breast.
It offers several advantages:
- It visually lifts the bust
- It provides a beautiful rounded shape
- It enhances the neckline without compressing you
- It ensures good support even for generous busts
The balcony style is particularly recommended as a swimsuit for large sagging breasts, as it distributes the weight of the bust well.

Some models may have ties to allow you to adapt the neckline to your bust shape, which will also be very useful if you have rather asymmetrical breasts. Discover our article dedicated to choosing swimsuits for asymmetrical breasts.
With its drawstring at the neckline and its gathered effect, the Bombinhas bikini top offers a stunning result for sagging breasts, which it lifts and enhances with elegance.
The underwired bikini top for strong support
The underwired swimsuit remains the reference for support. Inspired by the classic bra, underwires provide support from beneath the bust and thus correct the drooping effect. They also provide excellent comfort, contrary to popular belief. Thanks to them, your bust will be structured and beautifully defined in your swimsuit.
The Barbade line lets you choose between a one-piece swimsuit or a two-piece swimsuit, both featuring underwires for optimal support.
The shaping one-piece swimsuit
The one-piece swimsuit is a timeless classic that has never left our drawers. Its elegant look dresses your entire silhouette while supporting your bust. It is an excellent option for sagging breasts, especially if the model is shaping.
Thanks to an integrated structure, it supports your bust optimally while sculpting your silhouette for a flat-tummy effect. You thus enjoy an elegant look, a well-supported bust, and a silhouette to die for.
The Aruba one-piece swimsuit: the premier shaping swimsuit, perfect for all body types
If the shaping aspect doesn't appeal to you, you can certainly choose "normal" one-piece swimsuits while ensuring they meet a few criteria:
- Structured cups to guarantee a nice curve and good support for the bust
- A model with underwires to provide additional reinforcement
- Adjustable straps to better support the bust
This type of swimsuit is particularly suitable for women who wish to feel supported while enjoying a chic and timeless look.
Highlighting sagging breasts at the beach
Having sagging breasts does not mean they should be hidden. On the contrary, certain choices can perfectly enhance them.
Prioritize flattering details
Do not hesitate to play with the aesthetic details of a swimsuit to enhance your curves. Choose a model with gathers for example, draping or under-bust cutouts that draw attention and create a very aesthetic effect.
The Managua bikini top charms with its assumed simplicity, subtly enhanced by careful details: a golden jewel and pretty gathers at the neckline that make all the difference.
Bet on structure
Structured cups with lining, underwires, and adjustable straps are all assets that will allow you to provide your sagging bust with the support it needs and thus lift it.
Opt for the right size
We can never say it enough, but choosing your correct swimsuit size is essential to benefit from the support and fit you need. Too large, and your bust will not be supported and risks sagging further, which we want to avoid. Conversely, a swimsuit that is too small would be quite uncomfortable.
Generally, your bikini top size corresponds to your bra size. To feel confident in your selection, do not hesitate to take your measurements regularly and consult our size guide to find the one you need.
Swimwear styles to avoid for sagging breasts
Certain models, although very trendy, offer little support and can accentuate the sagging effect of the bust. Bandeau swimsuits for example are often discouraged because, in the absence of straps, you will not have the support your bust needs and your breasts will hang as if you were wearing nothing. If you still choose a bandeau model, ensure it also has straps.
Triangle bikini tops without underwires are also among the models to avoid, as they are very flexible and provide little support, especially if your bust is relaxed and voluminous. If you are still interested in the triangle style, opt for a version with underwires and lining to structure your bust.
