Bras for a very flat chest - please help!

[blue2711]

My very very flat chest has become the bane of my life lately. I've always had a small chest but got by very happily with Primark padded lace bras in 32A mostly. I know that sounds awful but they fitted much better than other expensive ones like Elle McPherson that I attempted. No good if you're looking for serious padd-age!

But since I've had my DS I am thinner and flatter than ever and even the 32As gape!! This is really starting to get me down as I love clothes and fashion and a lack of decent fitting bras is making getting dressed difficult. I'm absolutely tiny so it's not actually the being flat that's the problem as I'm still sort of in proportion, it's just that I want a nice shape under clothes.

So is anyone else in the same position? And can anyone recommend some decent shops or websites that can sort me out? I just want some white / nude / black bras which are pretty but smooth and padded. I will be very very grateful for suggestions! Thank you!

the armourette bra by Triumph is sweet and seems to come in some nice colours.

here are some

Try Debenhams Aquaris(sp?) range, which are fluid filled but quite structured on the outside so give a natural shape. They start at 30AA I think so you should find one to fit. They add about 2 cup sizes, and have much more volume than wonderbras etc. I've worn nothing else for about 5 years!!

I am not as small as you but I can recommend M&S padded, uplifting T shirt bras. They are underwired too. They come in black, nude and white. if you go to the website and look under packs of bras you should see them- they do 2 in a pack for £16 (I think).

I am a 32C so not huge, but they do give me an uplift and cleavage.

The are not "pretty" but basic.

Calvin Klein do a similar style for £32 which as a tiny bit of lace round the cups.

Brilliant! Thanks so much for suggestions. Have been meaning to tackle the issue for ages but there are always so many other more appealing things to buy...

I've got a v v small chest and my current fave bras are M&S smooth cup underwired ones, £16 (I think) for a pack of two. They start from an AA cup. Very comfy.

It's nice to have a good colour choice too, often small bras are only available in white.

Sorry, don't think the link has worked, but they're easy to find on the M&S site!

I have always been very flat chested- a 34aa and was fed up of rubbish bras aimed at teenagers....

The best bras I have ever found which made me feel feminine and sexy I bought in south east Asia where women are more petite and less able to afford surgery! The most comfy and best fitting brand of these was wacoal - which I think you can now buy online at fig leaves, and at selfridges (but stupidly expensive)

It could be a great excuse to go to Thailand!

I recently got this one and it's one of the best push-up bras I've ever had. It kind of uses whatever minimal boobage you've been blessed with to form the cleavage and then fills in the space left underneath with padding. Definitely worth a go!

I second the Calvin Klein ones. I have exactly the same problem and the nice ladies in John Lewis suggested it. It's gel filled so a natural look with a bit of oomph! They cost £32 but well worth the money.

There is a company called Little women I think they do an aaa size too. They are very soft and comfortable bras there.

Little Women website is really good. Goes from AAA to A cup. Matching pants, suspenders etc. They also do swimwear.
