Do you ever wonder how women with above average busts can transform into bombshells with extreme cleavage?
This is a case study of Guess model Komol Ilsanker who may have one of the most responsive busts to styling we’ve ever seen, with the ability to add as much as 3.5 cup sizes for cleavage on command without even using extreme push-up bras.
Here’s Komol in a natural look:
In her frilly white lace dress and wide-brim hat, she is all romance and softness — the kind of timeless beauty you might see strolling a sunlit market. Her bust is full but not commanding, resting in a natural drape. She’s likely a 30DD or 32DD at resting position.
Hours later, in a white button-front deep V dress, she becomes something entirely different: high, projected, and spilling with central cleavage that seems to have gained three cup sizes overnight.What makes this so fascinating — and instructive — is that nothing about her body has changed between those two looks. The difference is pure styling engineering. Fabric choice, neckline geometry, compression, bra architecture, light direction, and camera angle all converge to create a transformation that many models could not physically achieve.
In this case study, we’ll break down her natural “resting” bust characteristics, explain the mechanics of cleavage tension, and dissect the styling techniques that make Komol one of the most sculptable busts in the industry. Then, we’ll show exactly how to replicate that transformation, step-by-step.
First, What Is Cleavage Tension?
Cleavage tension is the deliberate use of garment and bra structure to apply inward and upward mechanical force on the bust, reshaping tissue into a denser, more projected central mass. It relies on compression at the sides and underbust, coupled with strategic neckline exposure to reveal the reshaped form. Unlike padding, which simply adds volume, tension redistributes what is already there.
Done correctly, it can visually add 2–4 cup sizes without implants. Komol’s tissue type responds exceptionally well to this method, making her an ideal example of how tension can create a dramatic before-and-after effect.
Resting Size & Characteristics
In her relaxed, daylight street scene wearing a frilly white lace dress and wide-brim hat, Komol shows the foundation from which her transformations are built. This is her neutral state — the baseline for evaluating sculptability.
Likely Resting Size:
- 32DD (70E EU), possibly 32DDD/F (70F EU) at peak cycle swell
- Bust is proportionally full but becomes explosively dominant with the right push-up bra and styling
Tissue Type & Mobility:
Komol’s bust tissue is medium-to-high mobility, meaning it can be lifted and molded easily without losing shape. This is the single biggest predictor of sculptability. Dense, immobile tissue resists reshaping; mobile tissue adapts to the garment, which is why she can achieve extreme lift and cleavage without looking artificial.
Root Width & Projection:
She has a moderate root width — enough to give a broad base for cleavage, but not so wide-set that inward push is wasted. Projection in resting state is moderate; the bust sits naturally forward but not exaggerated.
Natural Shape in Lace Dress:
The lace dress is soft, unstructured, and unlined. The scoop neckline opens horizontally rather than vertically, allowing bust tissue to fall outward and down in its natural contour. The bust sits slightly lower, the central gap is soft, and the upper pole is gently rounded without the “high shelf” effect styling can produce. Even daylight lighting smooths out shadows, reducing depth perception.
This presentation is important because it proves Komol’s bust isn’t always dominant — she can look understated until styling ignites the transformation.
Styling for Maximum Cleavage
Now, let’s look at Komol well-styled:
Step 1: Deep V Neckline with Strategic Button Opening
The deep V is one of the most potent tools for bust sculpting. On Komol, the white dress’s plunge extends to the fullest part of her bust, revealing both vertical and horizontal curvature. By leaving the central buttons undone, she exposes the inner slope of the breast mounds — the area most responsible for depth perception. This framing turns natural cleavage into cinematic cleavage, because the neckline cuts directly along the natural mound contour.
The button strain also matters. The closed buttons above and below the open section create tension points, pulling the fabric taut across her bust. This has a subtle corseting effect, compressing her sides and forcing tissue inward. Even without significant padding, this mechanical inward push deepens the central cleft, producing the illusion of a fuller bust.
For Komol, whose resting bust has medium projection, the deep V amplifies the appearance of projection by showing where the bust begins to fall forward from the chest wall. This is critical: the eye perceives breasts as larger when both the “start” (upper pole fullness) and the “drop” (cleavage depth) are visible. The result is an apparent +1 cup increase from neckline structure alone.
Step 2: Firm, Stretch Fabric Compression
Fabric choice is the difference between a bust that “sits” and a bust that pushes. The white dress is made from a stretch material with enough firmness to act as light shapewear. When pulled across Komol’s chest, it compresses the outer bust edges and the underbust, forcing volume to displace upward and inward.
This compression is especially effective on Komol’s tissue type — mobile enough to move without losing roundness. The fabric essentially acts like a hands-free push-up bra, concentrating volume into the most visible zone. For someone with denser tissue, this effect would be minimal; but on Komol, the pliability ensures the reshaping is dramatic.
The taut fabric also creates subtle shadow ridges along the contour of the bust, further enhancing the perception of projection. Combined with the deep V neckline, this produces a layered effect: structural lift from below and exposure from above. The combination often adds +0.5 to +1 cup visually, even before considering the contribution of an actual bra.
Step 3: Likely Use of a Plunge or Push-Up Bra
While the dress itself is doing a lot of work, it’s highly likely Komol is wearing a plunge or push-up bra underneath. A plunge bra aligns perfectly with the deep V neckline, providing strong central lift without visible center gore interference. Push-up padding — whether molded or graduated — increases upper pole fullness, creating the rounded “overflow” look at the neckline.
Given Komol’s starting size, she doesn’t need much additional padding to look dramatically fuller. The main contribution of the bra is lift height and cleavage narrowness. By positioning the breast tissue higher and closer together, it makes the bust appear both larger and firmer.
On Komol, a high-quality push-up bra could contribute +1 to +1.5 cups in visual volume. When combined with compression from the dress and neckline framing, the gains are compounded — not merely additive. The bra sets the foundation, the dress molds over it, and the neckline showcases the result.
Step 4: Lighting & Shadow Strategy
The white dress shots are taken in golden-hour lighting or with a strong directional light source. This matters more than many people realize. Shadows in the cleavage line create the perception of greater depth; highlights on the upper poles make them appear more projected.
In Komol’s case, the light is coming from a side-front angle, hitting the swell of her bust and casting a shadow into the cleavage cleft. This high-contrast presentation exaggerates the roundness of the mounds, making them appear even fuller.
Lighting also works with skin tone and texture. Smooth, even skin reflects light softly, which blends highlights and shadows for a more natural look. This keeps the cleavage effect glamorous rather than artificial. For a sculptable bust like Komol’s, good lighting doesn’t just enhance what’s there — it multiplies the tension effect by visually deepening every curve.
Step 5: Camera Framing & Downward Angle
Photographic perspective can add as much as half a cup in perceived size. The white dress shots are framed tightly, with her bust near the center of the image and the camera at a slight downward tilt. This perspective emphasizes the horizontal spread of the cleavage and the vertical drop from clavicle to nipple line.
By cropping just above the waist, the bust becomes proportionally larger in relation to the visible torso. This creates the “bust dominant” effect — the eye registers her chest as the central visual mass.
Downward angles also compress vertical distance, making the bust appear to sit higher on the chest. This height boost increases the youthful, perky impression. On Komol, whose bust already responds strongly to lift, the camera’s role in finishing the illusion is significant.
How She Can Gain Three to 3.5 Cup Sizes
From a base of 32DD, Komol reaches the visual equivalent of 32G–32H in the white dress — +3 to +3.5 cups. That’s at the very top of what is physically achievable without augmentation.
| Factor | Mechanism | Cup Gain |
|---|---|---|
| Deep V neckline + button strain | Inward pull, vertical exposure | +1 |
| Firm, stretch fabric | Side & underbust compression | +0.5–1 |
| Push-up/plunge bra | Lift height, cleavage narrowing | +1–1.5 |
| Lighting & shadows | Depth exaggeration | +0.5 |
| Camera framing | Size proportion boost | +0.5 |
| Total Gain | +3 to +3.5 cups |
How to Recreate This Effect
Step 1: Choose the Right Bra
The transformation starts with a plunge or push-up bra that fits firmly in the band and lifts aggressively from the bottom.
- A plunge works with deep necklines without showing hardware.
- Graduated padding (thicker at the bottom) pushes tissue upward and inward.
- For maximum effect, choose a style with a low center gore so the breasts can meet at the middle without restriction.
Step 2: Pick a Dress with Built-in Compression
A structured or firm stretch fabric acts like a mold for the bust. The fabric should:
- Pull firmly across the bust and underbust
- Offer slight horizontal tension from side seams to push tissue inward
- Have just enough give to allow shaping without flattening
Avoid soft, drapey fabrics for this — they collapse instead of sculpt.
Step 3: Neckline Geometry
The neckline should be a deep V that stops at the bust’s fullest point.
- Too low, and the bust loses upward compression.
- Too high, and you hide the most projected portion.
Strategic unbuttoning (as Komol did) opens the neckline just enough to reveal the inner curve of each breast mound.
Step 4: Combine Garment and Bra Tension
The bra does the lifting; the dress adds the shaping. The combined pressure from below (bra) and the sides (dress seams) creates peak cleavage tension. For busts with high mobility, like Komol’s, this can be transformative.
Step 5: Lighting and Angles
Light should strike from slightly above and to the side, creating shadow in the cleavage. A golden-hour angle is perfect for warmth and depth.
- Avoid flat, front-on lighting, which erases contours.
- A camera slightly above bust level will make the bust appear higher and fuller.
Step 6: Frame for Impact
Crop the frame just above the waist so the bust occupies a larger percentage of the image. This proportion shift subtly amplifies perceived size.
Summary: What Makes Komol So Sculptable
Komol Ilsanker’s bust transformation works because she has:
- Mobile tissue that responds to compression and lift
- Moderate root width for both natural cleavage and deep central swelling under styling
- Balanced projection that can be dramatically increased without looking artificial
- Upper pole compliance, allowing for a high, round shelf effect when lifted
- Proportionate baseline size — big enough to sculpt, small enough to transform
She doesn’t just look good in one style — she can appear as two entirely different bust sizes in the same day. That is the definition of sculptability.
