does anyone have any recs? I am not large chested (34B), but i have some shirts that would fit better with less...chest. Anyone know of anything that pushes boobs down but still has thin straps and is comfy?

I don't have any recs (something about squishing in my chset freaks me out, even though I know I'd look tons better with smaller boobs, and even though I know gazillions of women use them every day). But I don't even know if they make minimizers in a B cup? you could check barenecessities.com or figleaves.com. I'd personally be a bit suprised if you could find one, though

well, maybe not minimizing, but def. one that doesn't push up. i feel like all my bras somehow make my boobs bigger- i want them to be their size or slightly smaller. its just for a couple of non-stretchy tops that aren't buttoning correctly (they do w/no bra yet it looks silly with these tops.)

can you wear a 32C? it would be a bit easier to find minimizers or full figured bras that won't do the whole push up business like this one. it isn't the prettiest, but it will do the job.

Bodysuede full figure seamless bra from Wacoal Wacoal $55.

I'd also wouldn't go near VS...even in their D/DD sizes there's freakin' padding!

What about doing a shelf type bra? It definitely won't push up and will make slightly smaller.
