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:

Gracya Carmel bra, $39.99 (Sale Price), Lovestruck Lingerie:  This underwire push-up bra combines femininity, versatility, great fit and comfort. In a light pink color with brown, grey and pink embroidery, it has adjustable straps that convert to criss-cross and halter-style.  With removable pad inserts, this medium padded bra offers an enhanced push-up effect.

Removable pad bra in gold paisley, $60, Itty Bitty Bra:  This stunning bra features a hidden underwire.  It’s built to fit and flatter small-busted figures and the removable padded inserts offer great shaping and uplift.

Petite Embrace Lace Flamingo Push-Up Underwire Bra, $50/£31.06, Wacoal Petite at Freshpair:  This bra, in a stunning flamingo pink colour, features beautiful sheer stretch-lace wings with contrast floral embroidery.  Graduated foam contour push-up pads lift the bust and enhance the cleavage, while a plunging centre makes it ideal for wear with low-cut tops.

After Eden double gel plunge gel bra, £27, Max Cleavage:   This lightweight gel bra has double the gel to give bustlines a boost, creating the best possible cleavage. The smooth moulded cups and lace wings makes this versatile bra simple but sexy.

Panache Atlantis Jerry balconett bra, £24, Perfectly Petite Lingerie:  This gel bra in a pretty new floral/check design for Spring 2011 provides excellent lift and increases bust size by up to one cup size.

Bijou bra, $58, The Little Bra Company:  This demi-cup, push-up smooth-cup bra is a great every day bra, beautifully made to enhance little curves.  The straps are convertible and can be worn also like a traditional bra, racerback or halter.

The classic Valentine’s Day gift is lingerie. Not everyday stuff that ticks the “practical” and “comfy” boxes, but lingerie that inspires romance and stimulates under-the-covers assignations. But finding titillating lingerie when you’re an AAA-cup or AA-cup bra size isn’t easy — which makes it all the more difficult for your other half to come up trumps when searching for a Valentine’s gift.

To make it easier, I’ve tracked down some of the AAA-cup and AA-cup lingerie that I love — the pieces that surpass the “everyday” and could add a frisson to your Valentine’s Day celebrations. Send your lover the link now, with the subject line: Valentine’s Day Hint… Subtlety is never a virtue when it comes to getting the gifts you really want.

The AAA-cup thrillers:

Sheer Lace: Like a delicious hot chocolate topped with pink marshmallows

The Sheer Lace padded non-wired bra, £28.95, at Little Women, is a lacy little number in scrumptious pale pink and chocolate.

Team with Sheer Lace shorts, £15.95, for a truly sophisticated look.

Upfront sexuality for small-busted women

The Desiree demi-cup bra, $54, at Lula Lu Petites, ramps up the heat. AAA-cups can feel every inch a sensual woman in this eye catching blend of black guipure lace with fuschia mesh. Sizes start in 32AAA. The matching Desiree thong, $28, is the icing on a very tempting cake.

Knockout AA-cups:

What a Midnight feast, from Irresistible Lingerie

Irresistible Lingerie’s Midnight Garden padded bra, £34, available at Perfectly Petite Lingerie, is something of a rare breed: a piece of sexy, designer lingerie made exclusively for small-busted women.
