I am going shopping to a pretty big mall close to D.C. next weekend. I know they have a Victoria's secret there and that store is my own personal heaven. It kills me to see so many beautiful things that are all so expensive so it hurts to go in there with only a max of only $150 to spend that day.

I'm looking for a push up bra that makes my 34B boobs look like a C cup and pushes the twins up to my chin LOL, you get the idea. I need this type of bra for a very low cut dress that needs major cleavage, otherwhise it will look like a night gown.

Are there any cheaper alternatives for a REALLY great, padded push up bra or is VS the only place to go?

[Retro-Violet]

i dont know, but its so so so awsome that someone else is heaven when they walk into VS too.

[Leony]

That's soo cool Andi!
I can only recc VS because I love their Bras lol.

okay, my 1st choice is VS and i get the miracle bra, very happy with that. It gives a lot of oomph to my cleavage. Love the "twins to my chin," line, I am so gonna steal that line sometime!

Fredrick's of Hollywood has a nice bra called x-treme cleavage as well. It has removable pads and underwire for uplift, The cups are very smooth and don't show. Oh yeah, and the straps on the x-treme bra's straps are removable ..cool idea, since you are planning to wear an evening gown. We can pull the straps off of it for a no-strap outfit and then pull the straps back on the bra for regular wear. Little loops matching the itty bitty hooks, in front and back. Extreme is awesome!

Do look for a plunge line one or a strapless one. Plunge bras are great for making a bra disappear under a sexy, daring neckline.

For a discount if you don't wanna splurge, go to any store that has lingere and find a "water-bra' with smooth pads and silicone inside it...I did love water bras, I may need to find another! I had 1 from fredricks, not sure what it was called..I gained weight and cannot wear it anymore. *pouts*

The very lacy water bra I got from fredricks has unique pretty colors on it and it made my boobs look rather..full and upright. he he he.

At any rate, I don't buy VS or Fredricks unles they are having the huge sale or are having a 2 for 1 price special. I am obsessed with lingere but omg, I am so not rich!
I bet you'll look fabulous, hon.

wow the extreme cleavage bra looks awesome on the model. I have a regular push up bra from H&M with removable pads that already gives me nice cleavage but I've had it for like 2 years so it's not as tight fitting anymore.
I didn't know Frederick's of Hollywood is like almost half the price of some VS's bra!!! I never went in there cause it didn't look as appealing as VS aka pink, fluffy heaven LOL

on a side note. The 2nd time I was in the US I took pics INSIDE of VS LMAO. it was just so pretty

Maidenform and Barely There has some cheaper alternatives to VS.

Let me know if you find something you like! I was never able to find great underwear in this country... All of my good bras and panties are brazilian. So let us know!

[Becka]

aaaah, there is nothing like the VS very sexy collection pushup bra

Haha... My mom ex-estagiaria (trainee?) lives in USA - she's a lawyer on a NYC-NJ law firm - and until a few years ago, every time she or her mom came to Brazil my mom would give her a set of panties because she hated american ones.

I like the Very Sexy push-up bra from VS. It squeezes those girls together without looking totally unnatural.

For a cheaper alternative, Lily of France (found at Macy's, Boscov's, etc) makes a bra that I THINK is called the X bra, where you can pull it tight in the front to whatever degree you want. It's actually fun! It's the last bra on page 2 of the pushup section here http://www.lilyoffrance.com/styles/pushup.asp

Hey, I've got that bra. Mine came with gel inserts. It's kind of fun to "fine-tune" your cleavage!

that one looks interesting too. kind of like a boob-corset LOL

thanks for the tip!

[foxyqt]

I agree about Lily of France! i have a couple of bras from them & they're real good =)

Definitely the Fredericks Xtreme Cleavage! My friend is a size B and a LONG time ago, I asked her if she had implants and she told me she was wearing the Xtreme Cleavage bra.
