bras for the small busted

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

I believe that the brand is Lily of France. They now have "petite" sizes. I have found they fit really well. I got mine at Kohl's. They are cheap but hold up well. I'm hardly going to spend a lot of money because I can get away without wearing one at all some of the time.

Gap makes some great cute ones (instore only) that are comfy pull on, and Playtex makes Nearly A, Perfect A, etc sizes. Olga also makes some good ones. I also have luck at Mervyn's retail store. And American Apperal bras have nice colors if you want a simple pull on bra. Hope that helps, shopping for cute bras is sooo hard.

I didn't like what came out of my mouth back in July so I edited! Anyways, I just go to the Maidenform outlet they have the perfect bras in itty bitty sizes!

Some Calvin Klein bras run small in the cup.

This converts to a strapless:

This one has underwire support without all the padding:

I wish they made the Playtex TGIF bras without padding. I can wear them under sweaters and some shirts, but they tend to show through with other clothes. I also tend to wear pullover bralettes because of the better fit.

Until recently I was a AA (I think I'm now closer to a true A, thank you birth control pill) and the only bras that fit me well were certain Gap bras, mainly the ones w/o underwire (as if anyone with boobs as small as mine need a wire!) and the bralettes and Gillian & O'Malley bras from Target. I also second the Calvin Klein rec.

This Gap style is good because it's a little lower cut:

Oh yes, I feel your pain. I'm a 34A, but I'm thinking now I'm more of a 36A. Anyway, why couldn't I have been born more voluptuous? Is that true about the birth control pills making your boobs bigger? I wouldn't have a problem with that. lol

I have this bra:

It's from One Hane's Place, and it's a great everyday bra, and creates a nice shape. I'm sure you could find it in stores, but I don't know where. There's a lot of bras on the site for smaller ladies...just go to the bra finder and type in your size..it will bring all the bras up for you.

Iam so happy to hear this, Iam very small and it is a big pain in the ass

sorry to be so blunt.I found some at target(32a) but they are cut really small plus they have some pading so that helps.I found I can wear a 38nearly A in the playtex half sizes sometime target has them. For the strapless bra I got me a natural bra but the down side to that is that it uses the double sided tape.I mean it holds up well for me but sometime I just want to put on a bra and be done with it and not have to fuss with the tape. I use it in some of my bras that dont have any padding and it gives me boobs

I think it's true for some people. But, I've been on the pill for years and am still an A.

I like the Body by Victoria bras because they have a small layer of padding.

I'm a 36 AA but can never find that size anywhere. I just buy a 34A at victorias secret in the Very Sexy push up padded bras. They almost fit, there's a little gap but not much. Plus they make the girls look bigger :)
