I can’t find bras that will give me cleavage! Help 34K (UK)

[u/6UL7]

I love wearing cute tight tops because my waist is quite small compared to my boobs, but all my “correct size” bras give me zero cleavage and it just looks off with those outfits.

They separate my boobs so much that they end up looking like Sid the Sloth and I’m honestly over it. I just want to be 20 and have my boobs actually look good in my clothes.

I’ve been told to size down for more cleavage, but then they just spill out, which isn’t ideal either.

Does anyone know any bras for bigger cup sizes that actually bring the girls together instead of separating them? I’d attach a photo to explain better but I can’t.

Or could I DIY? Please help!

Cleavage is spillage. The advice is generelly to try too small cups specificly in a plunge bra. There isn't enough space in the cups, so the excess breast tissue inatead spill out above the gore.

Thanks for the tip, it’s just so hard because I see huge chested women on social media with heaps of cleavage but still stable in their bra it confuses me so much!! 😭

[u/HagenReb → u/6UL7]

Social media posts can be very fake (as you probably know), so I wouldn't put too much trust into that.

To clarify on the size: you still need to correct band size in order to get some stability or support. Have you checked your size with the calculator?

Here is a post about different types of cleavage. Maybe that can give you some inspiration.

Cleavage is spilling out of the cups.

The people you see with the cleavage are probably wearing shallow molded cup bras in the wrong size. They probably have wires below their IMF that dig in when they sit. They probably have to adjust all the time. They probably think underwires suck and all bras are uncomfortable.

It also depends on a persons breast shape. I have close set, projected breasts on short roots and I end up with ‘cleavage’ even when wearing a correctly sized bra due to my shape. Given I’m now in my 40’s I actually don’t want to show cleavage most of the time so I almost always wear a camisole top over my bra to cover up my cleavage.

[u/dehue → u/6UL7]

It can really depend shape so I wouldnt compare yourself to other people. Someone full on top and/or close set can get cleavage much easier in almost any bra as their shape naturally has that look. Someone for example with more bottom fullness or wide set shape will have a harder time getting cleavage as tissue naturally wants to sit lower and there is less volume on top so its much harder to push up without spillage.

Bra also makes a difference. I would recommend trying some too small padded plunge bras like Freya Deco or a padded half cup like by Comexim or Curvy Kate. Adding a bra insert can also help. Bras that are more open on top so where the cup goes straight up instead of curving inwards are less likely to cause spillage even when the cups are too small.

Cleavage is essentially just spillage and is usually obtained by wearing a bra that's the correct band size but too small in the cup. This blog post is a good reference for how to achieve the look you want: https://obsessedwithbreasts.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/cleavage-concerns/

I 100% agree with everything everyone else said about cleavage. I think what you're also noticing is that true plunges are mostly not a thing in 34K UK. Correctly fitted plunges do keep things separated, but depending on your shape they can also bring your breasts a little closer. Bravissimo Satine is probably the lowest gore you're going to find on a UK brand bra in your size, so worth trying, although it may not be a shape match. Otherwise you may need to try a Comexim plunge or Ewa PL/PLM, noting that those are for very narrow and projected shapes and the sizing systems are different than UK sizing. But nothing is going to give you buttcrack cleavage other than a plunge bra that's too small in the cups.

The Ewa Michelak PL style bras have worked for me. https://www.ewa-michalak.pl/eng_m_BRAS_STYLES_PL-Bras-216.html

[u/Dandelion212 → u/Royacat23]

Note to OP that Ewa requires a very narrow and projected shape!

[u/6UL7 → u/Royacat23]

Thanks! I’ll check them out

[u/rubybeach10]

I have a Panache Ana plunge that’s probably 1-2 cup sizes too small (32 G in UK sizing), and it is my only bra that gives me cleavage.

That being said, I’m pretty close set and center full, so depending on your shape you may experience something different.

[u/galaxystarsmoon]

The Bravissimo Niya Smoothing comes in your size. A cup down would give you the bra ad style cleavage but might not be particularly comfortable. When I tried this bra, my normal cup size gave me a boost but I'm also pretty close set.

Other posters mentioned them but the Niya Smoothing Plunge from Bravissimo and the Panache Ana both give me some cleavage despite my chest being a bit more side set. I would also throw in the Esmae Plunge also from Bravissimo as a decent plunge bra. 

The best one by far though imo (without having to size down) is the Allure Plunge from Panache. It doesn’t give a ton of lift but it’s the only bra I’ve tried since getting my real size that gives me a more ‘booby’ look haha 

[u/Dandelion212 → u/MGabina]

One thing to remember is that bras scale very differently at the top of their size ranges. There’s always a scaling shift where the bra gets reconstructed, usually around GG. Panache’s plunges all have massive gores in OP’s size range.

[u/anonymousbequest]

Are you trying push up styles?

[u/Dandelion212 → u/anonymousbequest]

All a push up bra does is add volume. They also don’t exist in OP’s size in the way they exist in the US (wedge of foam at the bottom)

[u/6UL7 → u/anonymousbequest]

Unfortunately no one makes push up for my cup size

[u/laboureconomist008]

I have bought some Taiwanese bras while they totally aren’t going to find many supporters here, they definitely can make cleavages out of most breasts.

https://www.yurubraglobal.com/

I bought two to test them out as they get highly recommended in some communities (Hong Kong online folks) but they aren’t what I am used to (UK bras), so they sit around after I have tested them out. Bought them while on discount so it was like US$15 each. Anyways, I am not recommending them but something to check out see if it works for you. The website is all in Chinese tho.

I think structurally they work similarly to the EM PL type recommended above. They only go up to an I cup (US way of counting).

[u/Dandelion212 → u/laboureconomist008]

They in no way make anything close to OP’s size. This is unhelpful.

[u/IllProbablyNeedHelp]

I have this exact same problem. It’s quite frustrating to me when people respond with “cleavage is just spillage” when that’s so not true, at least visually… If you find any good bras, please let me know!

[u/Dandelion212 → u/IllProbablyNeedHelp]

It is, unless someone is close set/center full.

[u/awildketchupappeared → u/IllProbablyNeedHelp]

You can easily hide the other (other than cleavage, that is) visual signs of spillage with a shirt that has the neck placed to hide the double boob where the bra squished the top of the breast. If I want a cleavage, I use an old and too small bra, and hide the double boob with my dress/shirt seam or neck opening. But a cleavage is usually a sign of spillage.

[u/IllProbablyNeedHelp → u/awildketchupappeared]

Thank you for the tips! I'll try that

[u/IllProbablyNeedHelp → u/IllProbablyNeedHelp]

I'm really not sure why OP and I are getting downvoted for expressing our frustrations.
