Beautiful push-up bras are a great addition to any bra wardrobe. But they're not just about adding breast size. The best ones are about perfecting boob placement.

Even when mine first sprouted, they never resembled the muffin-top mounds seen in glossy fashion magazines or on lingerie models. It isn’t nature’s way for all breasts to rest way up high on our chests. Boobs can face in opposite directions, downward, or straight ahead. They’re all different, even on the same woman!

But fashion often demands breasts looks a bit fuller or brought closer together to create what the French call décolletage. It's not just baring cleavage. It's choosing a well-fitting foundation that compliments whatever you're wearing. A bra can make or break an outfit, and certain clothing necklines look better -- on my body -- when they're worn with a push-up bra.

Not all push up bras are engineered in the same way, though. Some add lift and volume with different degrees and types of graduated padding on the sides or at the base of the bra cup. Others have removable pads (sometimes called "cookies") which provide more flexibility. You've got to find the formula that works best for you and your unique breasts.

Push up bras are available in many different styles. You’ll want to pick a demi or plunge for deeper necklines. They also come in a variety of fabrics, such as lace, mesh, or smooth contour cups. All these choices make it easier than ever to find the perfect push up bra to meet your fashion needs.
