Pronunciation: [ʌplˈɪft bɹˈɑː] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the popular lingerie item is "uplift bra". The word "uplift" is pronounced /ˈʌplɪft/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "i" in "uplift" is pronounced as a short vowel sound like "uh" and the "t" at the end is a voiceless consonant, sounding like "tuh" rather than "tʃ" or "d". The word "bra" is pronounced /brɑː/, with a long "a" sound and without stress on any specific syllable.
An uplift bra, also known as a push-up bra, is a type of brassiere specifically designed for enhancing and lifting the appearance of the wearer's breasts. This specialized undergarment is constructed with additional padding, inserts, or underwires that are strategically placed to create a push-up effect, resulting in enhanced cleavage and a more lifted appearance of the breasts.
Its primary purpose is to provide support and lift to the breasts, creating a fuller and more pronounced look. The uplift bra achieves this effect by pushing the breasts upwards and towards the center of the chest, giving the illusion of a larger and more defined bust. The added padding or underwire helps to create a rounded shape and ensures that the breasts stay lifted throughout the day.
Uplift bras come in various styles and designs to suit different body types, preferences, and outfits. Some uplift bras have adjustable straps and hooks to allow for a customized fit, while others may have lace or decorative details for aesthetic appeal. They are available in different cup sizes to accommodate different breast sizes, providing comfortable support while enhancing the natural shape of the bust.
The uplift bra has become a popular choice for those seeking a boost in their bust appearance or those looking to wear low-cut or revealing outfits. By providing lift and support, this type of bra can enhance the wearer's confidence.
The term "uplift bra" is a combination of two words: "uplift" and "bra".
The word "uplift" originated from the Middle English word "upliften", which is a combination of "up" and "liften". "Up" means to move higher in position or elevate, while "liften" means to raise or lift. The word "uplift" itself means to raise higher or elevate. It is often used to describe the action of making something higher or improving the moral or mental condition of a person or group.
The term "bra" is a short form of "brassiere", which is derived from the French word "brassière". The French word originally referred to a child's undershirt or bodice. The term gradually evolved to describe an undergarment worn by women to cover, support, and shape the breasts.
