Any good ideas for a bra for small bust?
I am a 15 year old and have a small bust i don’t know what bra to use! I have tried almost everything! I would like a bit of a push-up but not too showy! I would also like a cool patterned one 
Thank you very much. Please include store names.
Well, as a cool-patterned bra can’t really help but to be showy, I assume you’re asking for 2 different bras. I can’t help you with the pattern- you’ll have to go out and find it yourself, but rest assured there are an embarrassing amount of polka-dots, plaids, stripes, and other eye-popping prints.
Your bust will look better if you get a better bra, anyway. Tips…
Try a soft-cup bra. These are shaped like and look like an underwire bra, except they have a piece of elastic under the cup instead of a wire. MUCH more comfortable.
A demi-cup won’t show over your shirts. Racerbacks fit me better, I don’t know why, you’ll have to figure that one out, again, for yourself.
Playtex is a popular brand, but it never fit me very well. I’ve got some Vassarette brand and some maidenform, which fit very well and don’t bunch up. If you’re getting a strapless, get one with that anti-slip glue line thing on the inside. Otherwise the bra (and strapless top) WILL fall down. In the most awkward place possible. You don’t want to know how I know this.
Or, if by "not too showy" you mean "not obviously a push-up," then there are several other options. Actually, most push-ups you try on will not obviously look as such on your body because of you small chest (believe me…it’s one of the biggest frustrations).
There’s a brand called Flirtitude that’s pretty good when I’ve tried it on…I haven’t had much occasion to wear push-ups, though, so you’d have to try on your lonesome.
Oh, and if you lean over when you’re putting on your bra and really push and jiggle your bust into place, it’ll take any extra from under your armpits or whatever and move it to your chest. Every tiny bit helps.
Front-fastening bras are good, too. That way, instead of smooshing your chest down when you put them on, they push them up and out just a wee bit. As Toyota would say, Keep Moving Forward!
Wear empire waistlines.
Sorry ’bout the essay.
Victoria’s secrets has a Wonder Bra for small-breasted enhancment - they are also online -

Small chest. To my eternal misery.
Most definitely Victoria’s Secret… Ok for a cool patterned one, try the Victoria’s Secret Pink collection they have small sizes (you didnt mention your bra size, but in the Pink collection they have 32A-B, 34A-B) Also, if you want a push-up bra, try the new Miraculous Bra (also called "The Bombshell Bra") at Victoria’s Secret…. Seriously, this bra works wonders!! It adds about 1 1/2- 2 cup sizes to you! No joke!! I’m a 32 B and whenever I wear it, I look like a full 32 C!! Check it out..! Lastly, visit Victoria’s Secret to get measured for a bra… You’re 15, more than likely youre growing and you never know if you have the right bra size… This way you can get set up with one of the bra specialists and she can show you all the types of bras we have in the store that comes in your size.
Good Luck!
