I think this is what you want:

I don't have them, but my mom does and they're awesome.

There are also "cleavage cupcakes" and I'm not sure what the difference is...they seem pretty similar:

OOOH! Thank you NC! FYI, apparently the cupcakes are strictly for lift, and the takeouts can be used for lift, volume, or cleavage. Woo hoo!

i feel kind of pathetic asking this, but aren't there things that you can drop in your bra--not a special bra itself, but like actual little blobby things you can stash in there, to give yourself the illusion of a bigger cup size? I thought they were fondly called chicken cutlets, but I have no idea what the real name is. Sigh. My right boob is perceptibly smaller, and I feel like with all the empire-waist tops I've been loving recently, it's noticeable because the right side of my shirt gaps while the left side doesn't.

Help, anyone?

ETA: I just stuffed my bra with toilet paper. Anything has got to work better than that.

hee! you totally crack me up.

could you review whichever cutlet you end up with? i've sometimes had to use duct tape, and i'd REALLY not go there again

Victoria's Secret has the flesh-colored "cutlets," sold as some kind of bra. they hook together in the front. My friend has a pair, but I don't know what they're called.

Yep. I have those! They are awesome because the cups stick to your skin and the clasp in the middle pulls them together. They were about $70, I think. And mine are clear -- not flesh color. Definitely worth every penny. My friends always notice when I have them on (in a good way).

I have both the VS cutlets and the Takeouts. IMO, the Takeouts are much better since they can be positioned in several ways to achieve the look you need. I had trouble keeping the VS ones in place, and they just make it look lumpy. the bad thing about the Takeouts, though, is that they kind of get sweaty. But they look more natural, and they even make "bounce!"
