Could it give me a cleavage? Anyone tried one?

I was wondering for a minute why on earth you'd want to buy a bra that was 2 sizes too big for you. . Off to investigate.

Have not tried but have had a feel Grin and scary- they feel like falsies and have hardly any cup depth at all- it's mainly strap-on padding.

Do not wear when trying to impress a guy and then have to remove.

Much better are their push up padded T shirt bras which make my small 32Cs look huge.

Is it uncomfortable then purple? I've got padded t-shirts and they are super comfy, but, you know I could do with a bit of cleavage.

I'm way past the days of trying to impress a guy, it would all be superficial shallow image boosting. Grin

I got one, to give me a cleavage for a particular dress. Which it does do. They don't give a natural profile in T shirts, or anything clingy, as they work by pushing everything into the middle, making the bustline look strangely narrow from face on. And they are not natural to the touch either, being very hard.

Lol, I haven't bought one- I just had a grope as i walked past the racks in M&S Marble Arch!

I do have the push up T shirt bras and they are not uncomfy at all. They just push them towards the middle and lo and behold- Grand Canyon!

They are £22 - only me which thinks this is sooo expensive for a bra??!

Themasterandmargaritas · 02/11/2010 14:51

yes berri I'm not sure it's really worth it, I think I might just get a padded bra instead, especially if they are a bit hard. Grin

this is what you need- pack of 2 push up bras. £18. I suggest you go for a slightly smaller back size and bigger cup.

hope the link works.

£22 is really cheap for a bra once you get past DD cupsizes. You chicken-fillet fans don't know how lucky you are...

not sure about M+S bras though after I went for a fitting and the assistant tried to get me to buy a bra two back sizes bigger as 'my size' wasn't in stock. They also miss out my cuopsize and go straight to the next one for some odd reason.
