Having large breasts can be a pain (sometimes literally). One annoying problem is trying to just get dressed in the morning. You try to put on a shirt and your buttons pop. Grab a sweater, and it gets stretched to its limit. To fix it, you'll probably want to get a minimizer bra. But what's the best minimizer bra for a large bust? How do you find one that doesn't make you look wider?
The principle for most of them is that they minimize large breasts by redistributing your tissue to make you look smaller. Unfortunately, many of them also end pushing your tissue to the side. They do minimize, but also make you look broader or flattened.
Not good.
The best minimizer bras for large breasts work more like a sports bra. They encapsulate and lift your breasts, making them look smaller and higher, rather than squashed or pushed out to the sides. This helps reduce projection, and makes your clothes fit better.
These are a great option if you have a large bust and don't want to resort to surgery. No more popping buttons! And, you'll look more proportional.
Can bras have a motto? This one does: "flattering not flattening!" It's soft, comfortable and will look great under tailored shirts. It's got sheer two-part mesh cups, with a floral pattern above the seam and a geometric design below.
This is a "lightweight" minimizer (call it a minimal minimizer), so it won't compress you as much as some other bras.
The straps are fully adjustable so you can get just the right length, even if you are exceptionally tall or have a short upper body. The bra is molded, so it's shaped (and flexible), not rigid like a t-shirt bra.
US 32D-G, 34C-G, 36C-G, 38C-G, 40 through 44 C-DDD. White, beige, steel blue, sky blue, sedona (green/gray), ensign blue, rose, taupe, gray, clove, ballerina, mauve, and black.
This bra from Chantelle is as smoothing as a t-shirt bra, but also minimizes. You'll get a shape that's round and natural looking, not mashed down. All sizes have inner support panels to give you a rounder shape and for better lift. Larger sizes have extra side panels for better support.
It will hold you in place even if you run around all day.
Molded means that the cups were shaped; it does not mean foam lining or padding (like a true t-shirt bra).
The cups are seamless, so they won't show under your clothes, and the underwire is cushioned to make it more comfortable. The straps are also fully adjustable (great if you are tall). It's also got four groups of hooks (instead of the usual three) so it will last longer as it stretches from wear.
Ivory, beige, hazelnut. pale pink, ceramic blue, pale rose, camo, leopard, walnut, and black. 32D-H, 34C-H, 36C-H, 38C-H, 40C-H, 43C-H, 44C-F.
A pretty, sheer bra with a leaf lace design and thin satin trim along the top of the cups. No seams to show through clothes. Minimizes an inch, without compressing you.
The back has a v-shape to help keep the straps from sliding. The bandless style is more comfortable for women with larger stomachs. It has fully adjustable straps so it's great if you need more (or a lot less) length than average.
And, of course, since we're going for minimizing, there's no padding, just a lightweight, soft lining for comfort.
US sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, and 42 C-DDD. Comes in white, butterscotch, french toast, pale blue, pink pearl, blue ice, plum, silver, peach, purple, teal, red, and black/toast (black leaves with a french toast lining).
A minimizer with super powers. It makes you one inch smaller!
No padding (obviously), just smooth cups with a touch of embroidery at the top. There's no band, so it will be easy to wear if you have a larger stomach. The back and sides have smoothing fabric to stop bumps and bulges. The center is narrow, so it's better if you are close-set.
The leotard back design helps prevent strap slippage and the straps can be adjusted along their full length (for just the right fit).
Comes in beige in 32DD through 44DDD (US sizes).
This bra is gorgeous, soft, and supportive all at once. There's guipure lace on the straps and between the cups.
Now for the functional part: it will make you look a full size smaller. In fact, your friends may think you've lost weight.
A leotard back helps keep the straps from slipping. Note that unlike its 3D cousin, the cups on this bra are close together (so it's best if your breasts are close-set).
Seamless, so it won't show through t-shirts or sweaters.
Comes in white, beige, pale pink, and black plus some sizes in fashion colors. EU sizes 32C-F, 34C-G, 36B-G, 38B-G, 40B-G, 42B-E. European sizes, so adjust accordingly (DD = E, DDD = F, G=G).
Comfortable and supportive and keeps everything in place, even if you bend or jump around. The straps are wide and inset so they'll stay put.
And, it reduces your size by up to 1 3/4 inches. The seams add shape and support without extra bulk (because the point of a minimizer is to make you look smaller, not bigger).
It's pretty too, with a jacquard design, satin trim, and a tiny bow in the center.
The cups are close together, so this is best if you are close set.
Available in white, latte, mauve, vanilla, navy, black, lavender, rosewood and 9 more fashion colors in US sizes 34C-DDD, 36C-G, 38-44C-G, 46C-DDD, 48 C-DDD, and 50C-DDD.\
