Panache tango 2 balconette bra ( they also do a plunge ) . Last years colours for aprox £15 on eBay.

Dd2 is a very small 28 back, but bravissimo sized ( bigger cup than yours) and this is her staple bra- fabulos fit and support. . Some 28 backs are too big ( argh!).

elle macpherson come up small so I am in a 30 d with them.... worth trying on a few, as i find different brands/styles come up differently

Just weaned my last baby and nothing fits! So frustrating when the smallest size is too big. I can't belive there aren't women out there smaller than me.

I was fitted by Bravissimo as a 30E.
I've always bought Freya in virtually every style they produce and an odd Bravissimo own brand.

Agree with Hettie that Elle McP comes up small but didn't think she went down to a 30.
Lepel I think also come up small and do a 30 back.

Elle quite slender but cup sizes smaller too.

If you are any where near northants there is a bra factory shop that carries all the big brands and fits too.

However no one, as far as I can find- and have searched , makes 26 back bras with a decent cup size.

Also struggling to find a swimsuit/ tankini in a 28 back that actually fits- we found one but it was made for a 6 foot tall 28 back person- which I struggle to imagine is possible.... Dd is 5 feet tall!

Have to agree, I can't help wondering how long it will be before they start making 26s. I go down to a 28 when I am less fat than just now, and even them I am far from skinny!

I normally find that panache are smaller than bravissimo, who are smaller than Freya (in terms of back sizes)

I am a 28 but a 30 in a Calvin Klein customized lift bra is perfect for a small back. The "customized lift" aspect gives a great shape to a bust which has seen four years of breast feeding - double win!

I'm a 28 back, and find Panache Tango the only bra that fits. If you ring Bravissimo and chat to the girl on the phone, I have always found they give excellent fitting advice.

Depending on the shape of your boobs, the Cleo Juna is a nice style, and Panache Porcelain Plunge comes up tighter in the band than all of the other options you have in Bravissimo. If the back is too loose, it's really hard to get a good fit.
