When feeling sexy is on your mind, as it tends to be around Valentine's Day, finding the right underthings typically falls at the top of our list. But because fit is a particular challenge for women who are smaller on top, we're on the hunt for the bras and balettes that are made to flaunt what you've got — or help fake it instead.
The trick is embracing plunging cuts, sheer and lacy finishes, strategic underwire, and even a well-placed floral appliqué to shape what you've got. And while playful cuts that don't offer lots of support can be a challenge for women with bigger chests, you're in luck — it's your chance to play with all kinds of flirty silhouettes. Just read on to shop our editors' picks.
