'uniboob' collapse that can occur with softer fabrics.","plunge_name_raised_gore_reality":"Despite being marketed as a plunge bra, the Malina wears its raised gore visibly higher than a standard deep plunge, delivering the forward projection of a plunge profile without the extreme center cut-out — the result is a low-cut look that still offers enough center fabric to anchor against the sternum, suiting those who have felt 'exposed' in traditional plunge styles.","bluebella_s_signature_raised_centre_gore":"Bluebella consistently builds its sheer embroidered plunge bras (including Malina and Leliana) with a raised centre gore rather than the ultra-low panel typical of deep plunge styles — this elevates the bra from purely boudoir lingerie to a piece with enough structural presence to function under clothing with moderate necklines.","best_match_for_wider_set_or_average_spaced_breasts":"A taller gore sits against the sternum across a longer contact area, which fit experts note is ideal for widely spaced breasts because it tracks the natural separation without floating or digging — conversely, close-set breasts may find this gore height intrusive, so the Malina’s raised centre
