Up Bra

I'll start of by apologizing and warning that is is going to be a long rant. I clearly need to get a life. So if you don't feel like reading about my boobs in too many words and with very little substance then go ahead and scroll down to the end or skip this all together.

I'm on a quest for perfect cleavege. There, I said it. Now I know a lot of my friends here are on the well endowed side when it comes to boobie volume. I on the other hand have a "large" cupsize if you just look at the letter: E/F/FF/G/GG/H depending on brand and if I actually get to buy my bandsize with is 26/55 or if I'm stuck with 28's. But yeah, when you take my band size in to consideration you realize the volume isn't very big. So I'm in this weird limbo of wanting to make the most of my boobs just like all the small chested ladies, but at the same time buying DD+ bras. But to make it simpler for you to grasp I think I'm a 28E/F in most UK brands even though the bands are too big. So I do have the all to common problem of "Yay! this bra comes in 28 or 30 band, I can probably alter it to fit me.. hold up,, wtf it only comes in A-D?" or "Ooh, look at this pretty bra, it has a big range of DD-H- cups, let's see the band starts at...32??
In my opinion bras in the sizes 28-30 DD-F should be more similar to bras in 32 A-C.. I'm talking push-up and maximizing your boobies.. but still the right fit of course. To me it feels like most DD+ bras regardless of bandsize are there to cater to busty ladies who feel like "I do not need to add to my cleavage, it's more then enough as it is" But DD+ doesn't necessarily mean "more than enough" if the band is 28 or smaller..

But not only is it hard to even find a bra that is remotely my size, the fit has to work too.. and even if it does fit some bras just don't do anything for me. I read somewhere that if you have a C-cup or above cleavage shouldn't be hard to obtain with the right bra. Since I don't remember where I read that let's just assume the writer was stuck in the bra-matrix, that would still make me a 32D or something. BUT - I have wide set boobs and they also span over a large area of my upper torso, they actually seem to start about an inch under my collarbone but the tissue is so thin there it's hard to tell... but what all this does is that braless my wonderful boobies look rather small, but collected into a well fitting bra they look large-ish for my frame.. and I LIKE that :) but still really hard to get cleavage! I really need inserts or foam padding that will push my breast front and centre to get something other that a very gradual slope from the gore up to the cup. Summer is around the corner and I wear a lot of strappy and shear tops and dresses (or rather they hand in my wardrobe since I don't know what to wear under them) so what I'm looking for is a smooth nude strapless bra that will give me cleavage!
I do own a strapless bra in the Charade line from Change but it does what so many other strapless bras I've tried does- nothing good! The cups are so full-coverage so they just sort of lay like pancake-lids on top of my boobs instead of cupping and lifting. The clothes that I need a strapless bra under often are a bit more lowcut and the cups of my Charade bra come up so high they usually show, so where you're expecting to see lovely soft hills or at least skin you get bra instead.
I tried on a veeerry promising Calvin Klein bra the other day, it was nude and strapless and had this really agressive pushup foam lining inside the cups, but it only came in a D cup so I had so much quad and spillage it was ridiculous. I would have needed at least 2 cup sizes larger and that was in a 30-band. But they don't make they any larger then that. I also tried the wonderbra in both 30 E and F and they just sat ontop of my chest doing nothing for me.

SO I've been looking at reviews online for awesome cleavage inducing strapless bras and there is one bra that seems endlessly popular, the Up Bra. This bra is all about pushing your girls up up up and together. They don't make them in small bands or big cups but I'm thinking altering a 32DD into a 28 F might be worth a try. I couldn't find anything on bratabase about this bra so is there truely no one here who
has given this baby a try? Am I kidding myself with this idea or is it worth a try?
