Learn how to wear the Alessandra Push Up Bra for a natural lift. Follow our step-by-step fit and styling tips to avoid common mistakes and get the shape you want.

Quick answer

To get a natural lift from the Alessandra Push Up Bra, start with your correct band size, scoop all breast tissue into the cups, and adjust the straps so they stay put without digging in. This creates a smooth, supported shape that looks like you—just lifted.

Why the band does most of the lifting

A push up bra creates lift by anchoring against your ribcage, not by pulling on your shoulders. If the band feels loose, the cups won’t stay close to your body and the lift will fade as you move. Check that you can fit two fingers under the band at the back but not slide it down over your hips. A snug band also keeps the underwire flat against your ribcage, which is key for a natural shape.

When to size up or down in the cup

Push up styles often run slightly smaller in the cup because of the padding. If you’re between cup sizes, try the larger size first—especially if you have fuller breast tissue. The Alessandra Push Up Bra is available in a range of sizes, so use the size chart as a starting point, but let the scoop-and-settle test be your final check. If you spill over the top or the center gore doesn’t lie flat, go up a cup size.

Step-by-step for a natural push up shape

Start on the loosest hook: Fasten the band on the loosest hook and check the fit. The band should be level all around and snug enough that it doesn’t ride up when you raise your arms. Common mistake: fastening too tight initially—you’ll have no room to adjust as the elastic relaxes. If the band rides up, go down a band size.
Scoop and smooth: Lean forward slightly and use your hand to scoop all breast tissue from under your arms into the cups. Then smooth the top edge so it sits flat against your skin. Common mistake: skipping this step, which leaves tissue bulging at the sides and reduces the lift. Check in a mirror that the center gore lies flat against your sternum.
Adjust straps for tension, not tightness: Tighten the straps until they feel secure but not tight—you should be able to slide a finger under each strap without resistance. The straps should not dig into your shoulders or fall off. Common mistake: over-tightening to create more lift, which causes shoulder pain and makes the band ride up. If the straps dig in, loosen them and rely on the band for support.
Do the movement test: Raise your arms, twist your torso, and bend forward. The bra should stay in place without shifting or gaping. If the cups gap at the top, try a smaller cup or a different style. Common mistake: ignoring small shifts—they turn into visible lines or loss of lift by midday. If the bra moves, recheck your band size before changing cup size.
Style for a natural look: The Alessandra Push Up Bra’s animal print and Skyway trim are designed to be seen. Wear it under a sheer top or a low-cut neckline for a deliberate peek. For a smoother natural shape under fitted clothes, choose a seamless top layer. Common mistake: wearing a patterned bra under thin, light-colored fabric where the print distracts from the line. Match the bra’s visual statement to the outfit—let it be the focus or keep it hidden.
