Push-Up Bras for Volume and Lift

A small trick, a fuller shape

Every woman wants her bust to look good in whatever she is wearing. When nature has been modest about it, a push-up bra does the rest — and most women who wear one say they feel more confident in it.

What a push-up bra actually is

The name says it: it pushes up. Compared with an ordinary bra, a push-up has four differences — smaller cups, a narrower centre gore, finer straps and, above all, pads inside the cups that lift the bust from below. None of which is visible from the outside.

Its purpose is to add visible volume and give the bust a rounder, fuller shape. It does that job well enough that it has stayed one of the most bought pieces of lingerie for decades.

What sets ours apart

Our range comes entirely from established Polish makers. What to expect from the push-up bras here:

• Cut from soft, silky or matte microfibre — a fine, breathable, stretchy fabric that feels good against the skin.
• A lift that is firm but gentle, with proper support and a secure fit.
• Everyday and dressier styles, all of them well finished.
• Shaping that flatters rather than distorts — the bust still looks like itself.
• A clean line at the neckline.
• Comfortable enough to forget about, with no restriction on movement.
• Cotton lining inside the cups on most styles.
• Two fastening options: at the back or at the front.
• Stretch, adjustable straps.

The different types

Our catalogue covers push-up bras in every construction, so you can find the one that does what you actually want.

Underwired styles lift the bust further, bringing it forward and upward.

Wire-free styles keep the push-up effect despite the absence of wires. You can wear these for longer stretches than an underwired bra, and they are the obvious choice if wires do not suit you — whether by preference or for physical reasons.

Seamless styles are completely smooth, with no seams across the cup or around its edge. They feel like a second skin and disappear under clothing, which is how they earned the name invisible bras.

Detachable-strap styles, for anything off-the-shoulder. They stay put without straps thanks to a silicone strip along the inside edge — no slipping and no adjusting.

Convertible styles let you reconfigure the straps depending on what you are wearing: crossed at the back, dropped low, halter-neck or around the waist. Both fabric and clear silicone straps are included. Like styles with a silicone back, they are indispensable when the shoulders and back need to be bare.

Plunge styles have a deep, narrow front that opens up the neckline. There are no pads in these — the lift comes from the cut of the cup itself. Most also have convertible straps.

Balconette styles — the horizontal cup edge leaves the upper half of the bust open across its full width. These work under dresses and blouses with a low square or oval neckline, and with the straps removed they become a bandeau for anything strapless.

Bralettes with triangular lace cups, finished with sheer micromesh.

Double push-up styles use larger pads and a smaller cup, adding roughly two sizes. Not one to wear all day.

There are also push-up bras cut for different bust shapes — wide-set and close-set, firm and softer, small and large. Wide band with a small cup, small band with a full cup. The details are on each product page.

Cup constructions

• Open, closed and half-closed, judged by the top edge of the cup.
• With built-in pads — silicone, gel or foam.
• With removable pads made of fabric-covered foam.
• Moulded and padded, with seams.
• Seamless and moulded.

Pads

Fixed pads are either sewn into the cup or moulded as part of it.

Removable pads are softer and more flexible. They also solve the asymmetry problem neatly: if one breast is smaller, simply add a second insert to that cup. Spare inserts, decorative straps and other useful bits are in our accessories section.

Colours and trim

Push-up bras are mostly made in the classic shades: white, black and nude. The trim runs to fine lace, crystals, small bows, pendants, satin ribbon, mesh tulle, floral prints, guipure and detachable decorative straps.

Who they suit

A push-up bra works for a smaller bust and for one that has lost some of its firmness. The first group wears it to add a size or two; the second, for the lift and for holding the bust where they want it.

Women with a fuller bust wear push-up styles too — for the shape they create and the support that comes with it.

What to wear them with

A push-up is most often worn for an occasion, under dresses and blouses with an open neckline, where nothing else will do the job. But the added volume is noticeable under closed clothing as well.

How long to wear one

A properly fitted push-up bra is comfortable. Even so, it is not designed for a full day of wear — particularly the double push-up, which adds around two sizes. In those, the bust is held in a compressed position, since the pads sit along the bottom edge of the cup and the wires add pressure of their own. Wear one for the evening rather than the week, and when you take it off, put on a bra top, something soft, or nothing at all for a while.

Choosing your size

One rule above all: do not try to squeeze into a smaller size in the hope of a better result. It does not work that way. The bust ends up looking unnatural, and the compression causes rubbing and discomfort. Buy a push-up bra in your usual size.

What to wear it with underneath

Every push-up bra here has briefs to match — slips, thongs and shorts among them. Look at the related items shown under each product photograph, or browse panties and put a set together yourself.

Washing and drying

A push-up bra is best washed by hand. Soak it in warm soapy water for a few minutes, rub it gently between your palms, rinse and blot it with a towel. If you would rather use a machine, fasten all the hooks first and put it in a mesh laundry bag or a bra washing capsule. Keep the water below 40 °C. Dry it on a hanger, and never in a tumble dryer.

Price and quality

We carry push-up bras at several price points, all of them well made. If you prefer to buy on offer, watch the sales — there are usually some genuinely good styles among them.

Alongside bras, you will find swimwear, tank tops, sports styles and bra tops with push-up cups, so you can get the same effect in whatever you happen to be wearing.

We ship worldwide from our warehouse in Poland. That is everything worth knowing about push-up bras — the rest is choosing one.
