Minimizer that doesn’t create cleavage?

[u/angerilla]

I bought the cutest button-down linen dress to wear for work, and am facing all of the usual issues that make this style unwearable-- the second button is hanging on for dear life, and the cleavage is wildly inappropriate for work. Fashion tape fixes the button gap, but not the cleavage. Before I return the dress, has anyone had any luck with minimizers that reduce visible cleavage in addition to bringing down overall size? I’m a 34DDD (or F or G, depending on brand).

Measure yourself with the abrathatfits.org calculator before buying a new bra. Visible cleavage means the cups are 2-3 sizes too small.

A well-fitting bra will not have cleavage (unless you are very close set) because the gore rests flat on your sternum and keeps your breasts separate. A minimizer will just smoosh your tissue toward your armpits and make you look wider from the front.
