When I say it was padded it definitely added more fullness to my chest area. It was not my kind of look, I have had different products that don’t give off the super padded look but I do have to say this was very comfortable. It was soft but the padding came out of the bra itself like all the time. It is nude so for reference I wore a yellow dress which unfortunately was see through and this bra was able to cover things up! So it’s an OK product not the best because I did have better but it was good!
