Minimiser bra????

6 replies

So, bra guru's, I have a question.
Is there such a thing as a minimiser which actually fits you? Or do they just squish your boobs under your arms giving you back fat? I'm a 28ff and for many outfits my new fitting bras are perfect.
Obv with a very small back size, I can look a bit 'dolly Parton' in a fitted t-shirt or similar, so would love the minimised look if its possible without compromising on fit. TIA

I am selfishly marking my place, because as a 32FF all I have ever found is that they are squished in to other places..... and I'd love to look a bit less jordanesque!

I've never tried one but I have heard they tend to give a mono boob effect!

What bras do you tend to wear?

I'd love one too. I wish my J cups were smaller. I'm 2 sizes bigger on top.

Me marking my place too. I'm a 32 FF and fed up of shirts and jackets not buttoning up but fitting on the back and shoulders. Sometimes I wear a sports bra Blush to get the effect but it is hardly ideal.

My favourite bras so far (still pretty new to this) are the Freya Faye range in 28ff and Georgeous comfort t-shirt bras 30f, as they seem smaller in the back
ATM, if I want a minimised effect I put on one of my old 34dd's
Oh dear, did I just say that out loud?

I have had a couple of minimisers and didn't much like the effect. It makes boobs flatter and wider, in the end I look better with the boobs-on-a-shelf effect, forwards and out there, rather than spreading and matronly. That requires a good underwired bra.
