Victoria’s Secret launched their Miraculous Very Sexy push up bra last week and it has girls running to the stores. Like the other Very Sexy bras this bra lifts and shapes, but it also adds about 2 cup sizes! This is how it works; special padding lifts you up and out, instantly adding up to 2 full cup sizes for maximum cleavage and it has amazing comfort.  The bra has underwire cups, twinned adjustable straps which can be worn as a halter or racer back and has a back closure. It comes in 8 colors and retails for $48 and can be found in your local Victoria’s Secret store!
