Even small cups can floweth-over on National Cleavage Day in this Itty Bitty Bra
Today is National Cleavage Day in the UK.
Cue a “story” from The Sun, somewhat inappropriately illustrated by a picture of Kelly Brook’s baps (Brook is pregnant right now). The feature includes a slideshow of impressive chests like that of Christina Hendricks, whose name is barely mentioned these days without the prefix “busty”. Because that is after all the only thing of note about her (notwithstanding her facial beauty, stunning red hair and acting talent).
The un-enlightened could be forgiven for assuming that National Cleavage Day is one celebration that we small-busted ladies are forced to sit out. But, that’s definitely not the case. A raft of fantastic bras from superb small-bust specialists mean that even the gentlest of curves can be given the required oomph to create a very nice cleavage, thank you very much. We’re not talking in-your-face busoms, but we can achieve an eye-catching bit of contour and uplift.
So, here they are, some of the finest cleavage-enhancing bras for little-chested ladies:
