Push-up bras

How to choose your size

A push-up works well on smaller cups and on a bust that has lost firmness after breastfeeding. On large cups the padding usually gets in the way, because it adds volume where there is no shortage of it - an underwired bra with soft cups is the better choice then.

When buying, pay attention to the band: it is the band that holds the bust, not the straps. The band under the bust should sit horizontally and must not ride up at the back. If the straps dig into your shoulders, the band is one size too big. The cup fits when it lies flat across its whole surface and the underwire rests on the ribs, not on breast tissue.

In this collection you will find smooth microfibre styles for close-fitting clothes and versions with lace. Wash push-up bras by hand or in a mesh bag at 30°C - high temperatures and spinning distort the padding. We dispatch within 1-2 working days, orders over PLN 199 ship free, and you have 14 days to return your order.

Sizes in this collection start at 65B and reach 90C, and we stock separate styles in letter sizes from XS to L. With a push-up it is worth remembering that the padding takes up part of the cup volume, so if you are on a borderline size in a smooth bra, a cup one letter larger often fits better here.

Start your fit check with the band: if it rides up at the back, all the lift disappears, because the bra stops holding on the band. An alternative to permanent lift can be found in moulded bras and in balconette bras. Compare your measurements with the size guide.

Which style to choose

A push-up is a construction with a pad under the lower part of the cup, which lifts the breast and moves it closer to the centre. The effect depends on the thickness and shape of that pad: a wedge sewn in permanently gives strong lift and a narrow cleavage, while thin foam with a slight thickening at the bottom only rounds the line. In some styles the pads are removable, which lets you wear the same bra two ways.

Fabrics and comfort

A push-up works best under V-necks and under fitted tops, because it raises the bust line and evens out the shape. Under a fine knit, choose versions with smooth foam and no lace on the outside, as lace shows through the fabric. Styles with detachable straps also allow a crossed setting, useful under backless clothes.
