Find a Push-Up Padded Bra, Size AA - B
On my Itty Bitty Bra Guide, I host a poll asking small-busted women about their favorite bras. Many of my flat-chested respondents have endorsed the padded push-up style as their favorite, so here they are: my top picks for pushup bras to fit small breasts. All are available in cup sizes A and B. In some of the featured selections, the A cup size will also fit AA cups. I chose these bras based on the reputation of their brands, the materials used, description of fit, and customer reviews.
Padded Push-up Bra by On Gossamer
Adds one full cup size.
On Gossamer Women's Mesh Bump It Up Bra
This bra is available in sizes 32A, 34A, 36A, 32B, 34B, and 36B. It adds one cup size to your bust. The superior material of the padding plus the extra lift and enhanced cleavage from the push-up design creates a fuller, larger bust. It's your own shape, only more voluptuous.

Push-Up Bras vs. Breast Implants
Are padded bras enough?
For me, I feel like the best path is to accept my small bust as it is. I'm choosing to work on appreciating the unique beauty of my body. A more pragmatic consideration is that I can't afford implants, and I won't have that kind of money anytime soon. I also think it makes sense to avoid any unnecessary risks to my safety if I can get the same breast-enhancing effects from a few great bras.
Are push-up bras as good as a boob job for breast enhancement?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, I feel there is no need for breast implants with all the great new padded bras.

I am 38AA and am happy with this size. Sometimes I wear my push-up bra depending on what Im wearing.

@bbj: awesome, I can totally understand wanting something more permanent for breast enhancement. One thing I want to say to my readers, though: it's really important to accept your body as it is, no matter what your bra size. There's so much pressure on women to think we need to look a certain way... and that's really not fair to us. Breast enhancement is not going to help you feel better about yourself if you don't already love and respect your body. I know some of you are rolling your eyes right now, like: please, I don't need to be told to love myself; what I need is bigger boobs! I understand, believe me... I just want to make my position clear: you do not actually *need* to change your appearance! Being sexy is all about feeling comfortable in your own skin, and confident enough to show off your unique beauty.

Yes and no.
If you want just daily lift, then push-ups are good.
If you want permanent lift, then enhancement is the way.
I personally want enhancement, but without surgery.

Itty bitty bras are the best thing since fun size candy bars. Hey, there's another thing that's better than a boob job: breast enhancement via weight gain. Seriously, if you want to add a size, putting on a few pounds is the most natural way to do it. Safe and healthy too, if your small bust is a side effect of being underweight.

Pushup bras are fine, but I'd still rather have implants.
cjsysreform says:
On the other hand, there are times when I get really sick of being so flat-chested and not being able to fit into most bras (if you're a B cup and you think your boobs are small, try being me for a day!). I read somewhere that the average bra size in America is now a DD, so it's not going to get any easier for me to find bras that fit.

Dita's Wonderbra vs. Diesel Push-Up Bras
Diesel bra sizes run small -- perfect for petites.
I do like this photo of Dita von Teese, but I have never been a fan of the Wonderbra brand. Their bras aren't going to make you look like this if you aren't naturally curvy. Plus, Dita's push-up bra design doesn't even come in small sizes.
Sorry, Dita, you're awesome and everything... but the winner is Diesel. They have comfortable padded bras in a variety of styles, and most run small enough to fit in-between sizes like AA, Nearly A and Nearly B. If your bra size is Nearly B, a Diesel B cup bra should be a good fit for you.
Diesel Print Push-Up Bra
This new microfiber padded bra features a trendy burnout print, double spaghetti straps and molded contour underwire cups. Bra sizes 32 - 38, A - B - C.
Diesel Cotton Stretch Padded Bra
This seamless push-up bra has a bit more padding and coverage than the other two. The cotton stretch fabric lets your skin breathe. A great everyday t-shirt bra. Band sizes 32 & 34, A - B - C cups.

My bra size is 32AA or A, depending on weight fluctuations. When I'm a 32A, it's easy enough to fit into the smallest bras from mainstream underwear and lingerie brands. Any smaller than that, and it becomes quite a challenge! I'm not an...
Padded push-up bras are magic.

- yum. i've only got green grapes right now, but they are the size of baby melons, and so sweet. Those, coffee and a cigarette will be breakfast.
Oh, and I am not wearing a bra today. I believe everyone woman's breasts, whether they are melon-sized or more like grapes, need a break from over-the-shoulder boulder-holders every now and then... unless your cup size is large enough to cause back pain when you don't wear a bra. If this is you, stick with comfortable and supportive cotton bras whenever possible; save the fancy stuff for special occasions.

- I hear that. I actually prefer bralettes... am planning a new page on them soon. I made this one first because pushup bras are so popular among my audience.

- Honestly, the idea of push ups is incongruous to me. I could PERHAPS see the value of wearing one if it's for a specific dress that would look better with it... PERHAPS. I think I'd rather just not buy such a dress. But super push up bras have always seemed to me like false advertising, and especially while single, I wouldn't want to ever wear one to a date or something like that, because that seems rather deceptive, like a toupee: showcasing what one hasn't got. I'd rather find clothes that fit well on me as I am, and show my figure as it is to the best advantage, and let people deal with that. Besides, I think I look pretty even without cleavage.
