Guide to Pink by VS Bra Styles, Sizing and Fit
Below is a mostly-comprehensive list of Pink by Victoria's Secret bras, including their style names and style numbers, with notations on whether each is suitable for shallow or projected breasts and wide or narrow roots. The list prioritizes bras currently available, but some discontinued styles are included for reference.
Notes on Fit and Breast Shape
Shallow vs. Projected:Â Shallow breasts have less forward projection and a wider base, needing wider, less deep cups to avoid gaping or empty space at the top. Projected breasts extend farther out, requiring deeper cups with immediate projection at the wire. Pink by Victoria's Secret bras are predominantly molded or padded with shallow cup shapes, making them ideal for shallow profiles that benefit from rounding and lift, but often too shallow for projected shapes, leading to quad-boob or compression as noted in Reddit discussions.
Wide vs. Narrow Roots:Â Wide roots span a broader chest area, needing wider wires for comfort and to prevent digging into breast tissue; narrow roots are more compact, needing narrower wires to ensure the gore tacks fully. Pink VS wires are generally average to wide, suiting wide roots well but frequently criticized for being too broad on narrow roots.
How to Use This List
Identify Your Shape: Use Victoria's Secret’s Breast Shape guide or other resources to confirm if you’re shallow or projected and your root width.
Match Bra Style:Â For shallow breasts, prioritize padded, molded, or push-up bras (e.g., Wear Everywhere Push-Up, Love Cloud). For projected breasts, choose unlined or lightly lined plunges if available (though options are limited; consider sister sizing up).
Check Root Width: Ensure wire width aligns with your root—Pink’s average-to-wide wires favor wide roots.
Additional Notes
Shape-Specific Collections: Pink’s Wear Everywhere line (e.g., 1690, 1722) dominates for shallow breasts with wide roots, offering padded molding for smooth, rounded profiles under clothing. For projected shapes, Dream Angels plunges (e.g., 278-400) provide the deepest options with low gores, but unlined styles are rare—most are lined and shallow.
Some wearers critique Pink VS molded bras (e.g., Love Cloud 288-900) for exacerbating issues on projected FOT breasts, causing overflow or migration. Plunges like Dream Angels are favored for narrow roots and close-set shapes but can wrinkle on wide or very shallow profiles due to average projection.
Wire Width:Â Pink VS bras typically have average to wide wires, suiting wide roots but challenging very narrow ones (e.g., Dream Angels plunges for closer fits).
Fit Variability:Â Cup depth and wire width vary by size (e.g., smaller cups shallower). For projected shapes, sister size up in cup (e.g., 32D vs. 34C) if too shallow; for shallow, down a cup to avoid gapping. Always scoop and swoop.
