Small boobs bra thread

[wrenster]

Just before Xmas there were some lovely ladies giving bra advice, but I can't seem to find the thread.
Having measured myself for the first time ever Embarrassed:
I need to know where I can find a 29 or 30 C? I have searched M&S, John Lewis etc but have had no luck. Can anyone help?

[BedHog]

Debenhams usually have a few. Or you might be lucky and find some in T K Maxx, they often have lots of ends of ranges in unusual sizes.

[HazleNutt]

I have not seen any brands doing a 29 - if you think 30C should fit, try also 28D. Have you tried figleaves.com?

[yellowsubmarine53]

I just bought a couple of 28D Freya bras in the JL sale, and the same in Debenhams summer sale.

I think the trick with those shops is that you have to look under each 'brand' and some to 28 and 30 backs and some don't.

Same with M & S - some ranges have smaller backs and some don't.

[SorrelForbes]

28Cs are quite hard to find. Quite a few brands do 28Ds though so if I were you then I'd give that size a try.

Do you measure 29 under and 32 across?

[wrenster]

That's right sorrel, I have done it correctly haven't I?

Thanks for the replies ladies, I guess I will need to have a harder look! The problem is I can't get out to shop much so ideally would love something I could order!

Still very excited about maybe one day having a bra that actually fits me!

[SorrelForbes]

Yes you did! OK, I'd say you're almost certainly a 28D with those measurements. I measure 30.5" and wear a 30 (and sometimes that's loose in some brands).

Try:

Bra Stop
Ewa Michalak (they don't show 28D on their site but will make any size you want!)
Miss Mandalay
Ebay

This is all so interesting. I measure 29 inches under bust but need a 32band

[wrenster]

Brill, I will have a look now. I'm only little (5ft 3in and a size 8) so am over the moon to have what seems an enormous bra size yippee!

Thanks so much sorrel

[HazleNutt]

dotty, sure your cup size is correct? If it's too small then people would often think the bra is too tight and go up a band size instead.
(of course it also depends on the brand, some are simply smaller)

[Somebodysomewhere]

Figleaves lepel fiore bras.

Cheap ,look nice and quite small on the band as well. I am closer to a 28D but i wear a 30C in this size.

[Somebodysomewhere]

Btw way can anyone help me - i measure 26/27 around the chest then 29/30 across my boobs. Am i wearing the right size ?

I.e a 28 C/D or a 30 C depending on the make ?

[StatisticallyChallenged]

I would definitely try a 28d as quite a few brands start in that size. For a 28c, shockingly M&S do a few. 30C isn't quite so bad - have a look at figleaves to see which brands are available.

[Djembe]

I got 3 lovely bras from the Autograph range, gorgeous ones with silk in a 30C in their summer sale, online it was the last size available and they were £5 each!

I felt like my sister must feel when she goes shoe shopping in the sales, she's a size 3 and always bags bargains.

[Djembe]

In fact 30Cers need to head there now - Rosie for Autograph silk number half price and in red or pretty if you don't mind lack of padding

[Somebodysomewhere]

I find m and s to be a little large tbh but as i said i think i am closer to a 28.

[wrenster]

thanks djembe but I think I would feel even more like a boy without padding!

[Djembe]

The first two have padding and are lovely! Please someone buy them, they are bargainous but I don't need any more

[wrenster]

Well, my new size bras and have been purchased. I've tried a variety of makes from a few places so we will see how they feel when they arrive.

V excited! Thanks for all of your help
