Bikini Tops

The difference between a bra-sized bikini top and a standard bikini top is the same as the difference between a well-fitted bra and a shelf bra: one is engineered for support, the other provides coverage. At D cup and above, a standard bikini top — even a generous one — lacks the wire length, cup projection, and band structure to hold the bust in position through a day of swimming and activity. A bra-sized bikini top is constructed like the top half of a bra with swim fabric: channelled underwires, adjustable straps, and cup shapes sized for projection rather than flattening.

Bikini top styles

The range covers the main silhouettes: balcony tops for a lifted, supported shape with a wider neckline; plunge tops for a lower neckline with good lift; halter tops for adjustability around the neck and shoulder; underwire crop tops for a more sporty, higher-coverage look. All are bra-sized with cup and band sizing — not S/M/L — which means you can find your exact fit rather than compromising.

Bikini tops at Brava are sold separately from bottoms, which lets you size each piece for your body independently. Browse swimwear bottoms to pair with any top.
