Open Image Modal"The bra style that is best for small-chested women would definitely be the Miraculous Push-Up. This bra instantly adds two cup sizes and provides the perfect cleavage. For large-chested women I would recommend The Showstopper by Victoria's Secret. This bra is light weight, but provides the coverage exactly where you need it." (credit:Courtesy of Victoria's Secret)

Open Image Modal"You can sometimes find great deals on less-than-gorgeous bras that can easily be made prettier by the removal of some of the bells and whistles (like those bows in the center - those can easily be snipped off) or the addition of things like rhinestone accents. And speaking of rhinestone accents - they're an easy way to make visible bra straps look fantastic (and deliberate, which is just as important)." (credit:Getty)
