Quick answer
To achieve the perfect lift with the SONGE push-up bra, focus on proper strap adjustment, cup centering, and band positioning. These steps ensure a natural silhouette without discomfort.
Why fit matters more than padding
The SONGE push-up bra uses molded lace cups and French lace to create a natural lift, not bulky padding. That means the fit of the band and straps directly controls how much lift you get. A loose band or twisted strap will cancel out the effect, no matter how well the cups are designed.
The trade-off between lift and comfort
More lift often means more tension on the shoulders. The SONGE features an elasticated back band with a decorative openwork design, which helps distribute pressure. Still, if you feel digging or slipping, the band may be too large or the straps too tight. Adjust in small increments.
Step-by-step fitting guide
- 1. Position the band correctly: Fasten the bra on the loosest hook. The band should sit horizontally across your ribcage, not ride up at the back. If it rises, go down a band size.
- 2. Center the cups over your breasts: Lean forward slightly and guide each breast into the cup so the underwire sits flat against your chest, not on breast tissue. The center gore should touch your sternum. A common mistake is letting the underwire sit too low, which reduces lift and causes discomfort.
- 3. Adjust the straps evenly: Shorten the straps until they sit snugly on your shoulders without digging in. The bra should lift from the band, not from the straps alone. Check that the straps stay in place without slipping. If the straps leave red marks, they are too tight. Loosen them and re-check the band fit.
- 4. Check the silhouette in a fitted top: Put on a thin, close-fitting top and look at your profile. The lift should be subtle and even, not pointing outward or creating a uniboob effect. Adjust the straps again if needed.
