The Wonderbra is a push-up bra designed to emphasize a woman's cleavage with angled cups that push the breasts together yet allow for a low neckline top. The bra is constructed with three piece cups and non-stretching, versatile straps. There are removable pads that can add volume when needed and underwiring to provide support.University of Michigan Business School: Sara Lee: Wonderbra
