Extra soft at the front, like such bras? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padded

'like such bras?' is the definition.
(as in a padded bra)

'extra soft at the front' is the wordplay.
'extra' becomes 'added' (something added is extra).
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'at the front' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go in front of others).
'added' put after 'p' is 'PADDED'.

(Other definitions for padded that I've seen before include "Covered with anything soft; stuffed" , "Walked on foot; stuffed" , "Cushioned; moved silently" , "Covered with thick material" , "Kind of cell for violent prisoners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
