A padded bra can help to give a rounder, fuller look to the breasts without having to undergo any surgical enhancements. The right bra is a fashion essential because they can allow you to feel a greater sense of confidence and helps to flatter your figure. Many women do not know what size bra they actually need and in turn are wearing the wrong size. Wearing the wrong sized bra can cause discomfort, constant need for adjustments and an improper looking fit. In order to ensure that you are wearing the right sized bra use a tape measure to measure across your chest. Every make of bra will fit slightly different, so it is also recommended that you try on the bra. The amount of padding varies greatly from bra to bra; with some offering a lot, where others are more minimal and are intended to just give the look of a rounder shape. A padded bra will help to increase the look of your cup size, but make sure to not go too far. When you are trying on bras slip your shirt on over it to see the overall effect it will give. There are many stores that you will be able to find the right padded bra in including Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein.
