As someone with pendulous boobs, I have always had a hard time finding a strapless bra that gives enough lift and support. But I *really* needed one for a deep-vneck dress that I will wear to someone else's wedding. I tried multiple "deep plunge" bras and this was the only one that actually didn't show; the connection between the cups is sufficiently narrow to disappear in your cleavage. I was surprised by the amount of padding in the lower part of the cup; this probably accomplishes the "push-up" function. I recommend this bra, even though I wish that they made it in DD because the cups are just a little too narrow for me. I'm going to keep it though; it's too effective in all of the other desirable ways to return it for being a little narrow.
