Minimizer bras are designed for women who want to look smaller in the chest. Minimizer bras reduce the forward projection of the breasts through a cup design that softly flattens the tissue and moves it to the sides under the arms, towards the center cleavage, up the chest and down towards the waist. Minimizer bras are a great fashion help when wearing front-button blouses since they reduce the pulling look along the center openings. When buying a minimizer bra, buy one in your normal size rather than going down one size to try to achieve a smaller look. The result will be an ill-fitting, uncomfortable bra.
