It’s amazing how difficult it is for women to find the right bra for an average bust, so if you’re smaller than average, finding the best push-up bras for a small chest can be a tricky task! Breasts are so individually shaped and sized that we’ve only had the modern types of bra for the last 127 years! The first patent was taken out in 1914 by Mary Jacobs, a 19 year old American woman, who made the first bra herself out of handkerchieves and ribbon in 1913.
How to find well-fitting bras in the AA – B cup range
Generally speaking, you need to know the brands that choose to design bras for small busts. And by that I mean not just using the same proportions as larger bras and cutting them down to small sizes. Smaller busts have different requirements to medium and large busts. And so you really need a wide range of smaller-cup bra designs to have any hope of finding your best fit. Elisabeth Dale, who wrote, The Breast Life Guide to the Bra Zone: How to Find Your Ideal Size, Style and Support recommends new brands like Pepper, Lively, and ThirdLove who all make excellent smaller cup size bras.

So read on and discover the 7 Best Push-up Bras for a Small Chest on offer this year!
1. Best Petite Push-up Bra for a Small Chest
The Wacoal Women’s Petite Embrace Push-up bra is specially designed to suit the petite frame and small bust. And this is an underwired bra, with foam-padded cups and removable push-up pads to help cleavage. The lace trimming is attractive and shows this is a women’s bra, not a ‘junior’ bra.
Our Testers said they had tried Wacoal Petite bras before and liked the proportions. This bra gave a great fit, with no gaping. It has sufficient padding to increase the volume of your bust, but in a natural shape. The smooth cups look good under fine fabrics and you can wear the nude shade under a white shirt. It’s sexy, comfy and suitable for everyday wear!
2. Best Air & Gel Push-up Bra for a Small Chest
The ‘Full Effect’ Wonderbra push-up is definitely glamorous. And it’s unusual, because it uses a mixture of gel and air to add volume to the cups. The padding is thicker than you normally get, as the Wonderbra range is famous for creating cleavage on smaller busts. And this is lightweight padding with a natural contour.
Our Testers said they found this bra very comfortable and loved the ‘2-cups extra’ boost they got with this style. In addition, they got a good fit and were really happy with the elegant, sexy look. The padding is extra-light and never loses its shape.
3. Best Push-Up Lace Bra for a Small Chest
The Deyllo Push-Up Bra is another glamorous bra with good-quality, soft, stretchy lace. And the scalloped lace edging on the foam cups looks very feminine. It’s an underwired bra that gives excellent support, with padded, push-up cups to add one cup size.
Our Testers said this is a super-fitting bra that flatters small breasts. It doesn’t flatten your profile, but lifts you up gently and makes your bust look bigger. It is comfortable to wear every day for extra uplift. And the soft lace body-band makes it a high-quality bra for smaller cup sizes!
4. Best Convertible Push-up Bra for a Small Chest
This Lily of France push-up bra also pushes the breasts together to create cleavage. Overall, it adds about one cup size and the soft fabric is comfortable and smooth under clothing. The straps can be worn as regular, halter or criss-cross. Light lace mesh adds cute style to the cups.
Our Testers said this has a perfect band fit and is super-comfortable to wear. It gives some cleavage, depending on your size and shape, and uplift. The reviewers said the fabric is soft and high quality. It’s a great bra to wear under a low-cut top!
5. Best Affordable Push-Up Bras for a Small Chest
This is not only an affordable push-up bra, but also a popular and highly rated one. It has good quality, lace cups with push-up padding and underwires. There’s a center bow and a jewel decorating the front. And the back has cute double straps added to the lace body-band.
Our Testers said this is great value, as it’s very comfy, looks sexy and gives great uplift. One reviewer said it’s the same quality as her Victoria Secret’s bras. And another said it’s a great bra for lifting droopy, post-baby breasts. It doesn’t push the breasts together for cleavage, but has padding under the breast for uplift.
6. Best Wireless Push-Up Bra for a Small Chest
The FallSweet Wireless, padded, push-up bra is different from the other styles, as it can be tightened by the lace-up section between the cups. This allows you to adjust the amount of cleavage you want. It has strong, soft straps, a broader body-band and three hook-and-eyes at the back. Economically priced.
Our Testers said you get amazing fit and comfort from the broader body-band and 3 hook- and-eye fastener. The adjustable cleavage and uplift are excellent! It’s incredibly popular for A/B sizes. But you need to size up on the band-size. It looks very sexy and is better than most expensive bras. Perfect for date nights!
7. Best Minimalist Push-Up Bra for a Small Chest
This is a streamlined, minimalist bra that has light padding. The cups are underwired and there’s a hook-and-eye fastener. The fabric is soft and high quality and the straps have the Calvin Klein logo woven into the fabric. The straps can be adjusted to make a criss-cross back for wearing with racerback styles.
Our Testers loved the comfort and flattering shape of this bra. It gives a natural look and doesn’t flatten your profile. It fits like a similar Victoria’s Secret bra, but has more natural-looking padding. It’s undetectable under t-shirts and suitable for wearing with V-necks and tank-tops, too!
So whatever type of clothes you wear, I hope you’ve found some great bust-boosting options above to ensure you feel confident at work and sexy in your leisure times. And if you really want to make an impact, the lacy and lace-up bras are bound to give your love-life a boost! No man would ever admit it – but they absolutely love lace! LOL! 🙂
