Disappointing cleavage!

14 replies

I'm a 34F and have tried WonderBra, Bravissimo, Freya and a few others. Was excited to see the new push-up range from Lemonade Dolls... Just received it, fits beautifully, but I still look so "meh"! I'm not massively saggy when bra-less, I don't look much different with or without a bra! Which suggests I'm not wearing the right size, but I have a fabulous independent shop near me and I do believe I'm wearing the right size, I feel supported and there are no gaps/bits digging in/riding up bands.

So, what shall I try next to get some great cleavage? I'm 35 in case that's relevant.

Okay! I think you look great! It does not look "meh" to me at all!
And the dress is lovely.

Hmm

Thank you, you're very kind! I would love cleavage like that in the advert (and like some of my friends seem to achieve, but they are generally smaller and perkier than me)

Try Victoria secret
They have great push up bras with different ‘boosts’

That's one I haven't actually tried, will give them a go thank you!

I think you look fabulous, but the reason they're not sticking up/out is that the cut needs to be lower. There's too much coverage but I actually think that probably looks better as its more subtle, but still sexy

A balcony bra might suit better.

Ex bra fitter here. First of all,from the picture you have a decent cleavage. Some people have naturally wide set boobs which don’t lend themselves to ‘hello boys’ boobage. An option is a plunge bra in a cup size too small & scooping the breast tissue forward & up in the cup,but make sure the wire isn’t digging in anywhere. Wonderbra Ultimate strapless also might work. I’ve no experience of Victoria’s Secret so can’t comment. Otherwise vast amounts of tit tape,hold your boobs how you want them,tape them into position,definitely a 2 person job . Not the most comfortable or functional but it’s what many celebs do for the pics x

Your cleavage looks amazing to me!! I have tiny boobs (too small for normal bras, even 28A cups gape at the top) and they are quite wide set, so I have never, ever had even a hint of cleavage!

I think you look great!

CuttedPearPie · 28/04/2025 12:54

I mean don't you have enough cleavage there already? I think more would look pretty tacky no?

Talipesmum · 28/04/2025 12:59

How sure are you on your size? I’m a 36F and I’m much larger than you body-wise (approx size 18). What’s your under bust measurement with measuring tape?

DisappointingCleavage · 28/04/2025 17:08

Thanks all for the helpful feedback (and lovely comments - honestly didn't post the pic for compliments! But thank you)

I am pretty confident about my size - I measure 34 ins under the bust, and the bra fitter I last saw put me between F-FF. I haven't measured myself across the fullest part, but have tried smaller cups which don't fit, and I don't think I'm any bigger as there's no over-spill 😅
