Bra for Tiny Tits, here

[GoodnessKnows]

I love balconette styles but they're not suitable, even in small sizes, just completely flat all the way to my nipple. No exaggeration. Been measured a billion times. Still not found The One (the bra that my boobs don't fall out of by popping under the wiring).

Any other small-breasted ladies which found a soliton?

Sorry. Correction. I bought 2 and the 34F was too small in the cup and the 34FF was better.

Ah you might be fine then!

Can't remember if I have posted this before, but rubbish name, good site for bras for little Women.

I'm reading this and don't think any of it helps me. I usually wear a 28B and its a bit big tbh..

What do you measure art? Mimi holliday do some lovely bras in that size

I'm not sure but that's what I was measured in rigby and peller. I'm a clothes size 6-8

What I'm wondering is if you are actually less than a 28 and that's the cause of the gaping. 26s are rare but there are a couple of companies who do or will make them.

I will get the tape measure out later

In the last year my weight has fluctuated due to IVF hormones, I seem to be back to normal now (size 8-10 on top). None of my bras are comfortable, they either slip off the shoulders or I can feel the band riding up. I've just measured myself and I'm between 27 - 27.5 band and 31 cup. Surely that can't make me a 26 or 28 C or D?!?! I've been a 32 A or AA all my life!

Added complication, I measured in cm as don't have inches on my tape, and I live in a metric country. So in cm I'm 69-70 band and 79-80 cup. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I would try 28c and do as 26 isn't readily available.

In terms of conversion- way back when God was a boy and we hadn't heard of elastic, you used to add 4" to your back measurement. In the UK this meant that a 30 would wear a 34.in Europe they decided that it would be easier if you wore the size you measure and so they built this extra 4" in. So historically if you measured 30 you'd wear a UK 34 or an eu 75. Then bras got stretchy so a 30 wears a 30 but the eu one now needs to deduct 10cm. Long story short a 30 is a 65 and a 28 is a 60. Generally if you Google bra conversion chart they get that bit right

France is different again iirc

Thanks for this Stats! I understand UK sizing now but have been mystified by EU sizing and conversion charts that don't add up! If the 10 cm is built in, it all makes sense now!

Can you clarify again - if you want to maintain the cup volume of D75 / 34D but go down a size or two in band sizing, what size will you wear?

Marking my place for when I can find the tape measure.

Although I'm thinking you'll say trainer bra.

Thank you!

Roughly down one band up one cup but it really only works one band either side if that makes sense so 34d try 32dd ie 70dd

Thanks! The size conversions are really difficult. Italians express band size with Roman numerals and God only knows what that means but I will stick to UK and EU sizing.

Does this also mean that although Americans use inch-based measurements they might be following the old system?

So if a measurment is 31 under & 33 over what size does that maje using the size guide?

try 30C, 30B, 32B and 32A as a starting point. What are you wearing just now and how does it fit?

Thanks statiscally. I've been wearing a 32B, depending on the brand it seems ok, except not all cover the sides near my arms. A 34A is too roomy around my ribs & a 32A feels too small in the cup, barely covers!

You might want to try one cup size up if its not covering enough at the sides - the measurement is only a starting point, so I'd maybe add a 32C and 30D to the list

Been keeping an eye on these bra threads for some time - after measuring I work out that im 28D - trying to find the lepel fiore padded plunge in that size but everywhere that sells it seems to only start with 30 band. Do they do this bra in 28D? Also any ideas where I can find a nice bikini in this size?

Well, thanks to this thread, I have discovered that I have been wearing entirely the wrong size bra my whole life, having defaulted to the standard "I have no boobs therefore must be a 32a " assumption (helped in no small way by my fitting as a teen in m&s). Turns out I'm more like a 26 back. Fortunately, I am now pregnant, so will get away with a larger back for a while at least. Unfortunately, due to recommendation to avoid wires (partly I think because the fitter didn't trust me to know whether a bra is fitting properly given my past form!), I am now stuck in unexciting teen bras, which seem to be all that is available in a 28 back with no wires. Unless anybody has any good tips for nice wire-free bras in a 28d/dd?

you don't need to go wire free, so long as the cup fits properly and the wire is not resting on breast tissue.

However, the deco soft cup starts at a 28D so would be a good wire free option

Thank you, will take a look!

Statistically does the lepel fiore padded plunge come in 28D? Also any idea where I can find bikinis in this size? Really appreciate all the advice youve given on these bra threads - stuck in a badly fitting 32A at the moment and going on holiday soon but all I have is 32A bikinis from la senza - would love to get something that fits properly for a change!
