need help finding a bra that actually minimizes cleavage!
Permalink Closed

hey all - i am looking for a minimizer bra - sort of the opposite of a pushup bra, to wear with my new navy dress (again with the navy dress, sorry).  the neckline makes my boobs peek out in a way that some may find inappropriate for a church function, so i am looking for some type of bra that would flatten them a bit, but that wouldn't be so much fabric as to peek out of the dress.  does such a bra exist? 

i don't want to look like pam anderson when i bend over to pick up my child.  help, please!!

Gap has a pretty good shaping minimizer

Can you pull off wearing a cami underneath? I do that when I want to wear some of my dresses to work.

me too. I don't use actual camis because they tend to bunch up funny under dresses, but I have a few great things that go over your bra so it looks like a layered cami (my fave is a lacey one from Fashion Forms called "Cami Too" - find it at Dillards) or a slip/chemise with a plain neckline that looks like a cami (my VS has some, although I can't find them online right now)

I actually wear Bali - it has a butterfly across the front middle - I wish they came in more colors because it is my favortie minimizing bra.

thanks, girls!  unfortunately it wouldn't work with a cami underneath (although that is my solution too if i want to wear a wrap dress to work or something).  here is a picture of the dress.  the dress neckline is cut a bit lower on me than the model and my boobs poke out just a little (which would be fine for any other event, but not a baptism):

You may also consider using some Hollywood tape to keep the dress from falling away from your body when you do have to bend to pick up your kids (in addition to the minimizing bra)

I usually buy them at the Hanes Bali outlet stores.. I guess its more of a butterfly shape...but I highly recommend trying this style!
