Guide to Goddess Bra Styles, Sizing and Fit

Below is a comprehensive list of Goddess bras, including their style names and style numbers where available, with notations on whether each is suitable for shallow or projected breasts and wide or narrow roots

Fit Notes

Shallow vs. Projected: Shallow breasts have less forward projection and a wider base, needing wider, less deep cups (e.g., molded, padded half-cups). Projected breasts extend farther out, often with narrower roots, requiring deeper cups with immediate projection at the wire (e.g., unlined plunges, side-support bras). Goddess’s Bra Style Guide emphasizes full-coverage and banded styles, often suited for projected shapes, but some molded options cater to shallow breasts.

Wide vs. Narrow Roots: Wide roots span toward the armpits, needing wider wires; narrow roots are compact, needing narrower wires. Goddess is known for wider wires, especially in larger cups (G+), making it ideal for wide roots but challenging for narrow roots.

Goddess’s Fit: Goddess uses US sizing (34–56 bands, B–O cups), which aligns with American standards but may differ from UK sizing used by sister brands like Elomi. Bands run true to size; cups may run large in some styles (e.g., Keira). Goddess’s banded and full-cup bras are projected with wide wires, while molded and sports bras are shallower. Wires are wider than Freya or Panache, less suited for narrow roots.

Additional Notes

Goddess’s Design Trends: Goddess’s banded underwire bras (e.g., Keira, Kayla, Adelaide) are designed for projected, fuller busts with wide roots, offering deep cups and side support for forward projection. Molded and sports bras (e.g., Sport, Strapless) are shallower, suiting wide-root, shallow breasts due to compression or padded cups. Soft-cup bras (e.g., Alice, Kiera Soft Cup) are shallow, prioritizing comfort over lift. Longline and nursing bras are projected, catering to wide-root, fuller busts.

Wire Width: Goddess’s wires are notably wide, especially in G+ cups, making them ideal for wide roots but less suitable for narrow roots.  

Insights: Keira and Kayla are great for projected, wide-root breasts in 38G–44J with their deep cups and strong support. Molded styles like Sport are can flatten projected shapes, while soft-cup bras like Alice are too shallow for projected breasts.

Fit Tips: Goddess bands are true to size; cups may run large in banded styles (e.g., Keira). For projected breasts, ensure immediate projection at the wire to avoid floating gores. For shallow breasts, prioritize molded, strapless, or soft-cup bras to fill gaps. Check wire placement in the inframammary fold (IMF) and gore tack.

How to Use This List

Determine Your Shape: Use Goddess’s fit guides or A Bra That Fits resources to confirm shallow/projected and root width. Lean forward to assess root width; check side-profile for projection.

Match Bra Style: For projected breasts, choose unlined, banded, or side-support bras (e.g., Keira, Kayla, Morgan). For shallow breasts, select molded, strapless, or soft-cup bras (e.g., Sport, Alice). Nursing and longline bras are projected.

Check Root Width: Wide roots suit most Goddess styles (e.g., Keira, Adelaide); narrow roots may find wires too wide, requiring plunges or wire adjustments.
