Abstract

An adjustable double padded bra having a resizable front gore component and includes, at least, a first cup affixed between a first strap and a first wing and a second cup affixed between a second strap and a second wing. The first wing is affixed to the second wing via a fixation mechanism. The double padded bra also includes a resizable front gore component disposed between the first cup and the second cup. The resizable front gore component is configured to adjust a length between the first cup and the second cup to increase or decrease an amount of cleavage for the user wearing the double padded bra.
