Abstract

The present invention discloses a strapless, backless adhesive shaping breast lift that is suitable for lifting and holding larger breasts in position. Further, the design of the strapless, backless adhesive shaping breast lift comprises two breast support structures, wherein each of the breast support structures comprises a plurality of tabs at the upper portion and a plurality of scallops at the bottom portion of the brassiere, so as to maintain a round breast shape, even on a larger cup size. The adhesive material allows a user to pull the plurality of the tabs and scallops to adjust the shape of the brassiere while distributing the weight of the breast on the tabs and scallops. Further, circular cuts between the tabs help to maintain a round shape of the breast by minimizing the size and number of creases on the brassiere.
