if you're small then you should have plenty of choice. I used to buy nice bras from H&M for less than a tenner and they didnt look 'cheap'. Get yourself some nice push up bras

BrokkenHarted · 16/09/2009 12:10

Push ups dont seem to work for me. And we are talking as-unusual-as-a-FF-cup small

I am happy with my size, i just want a bra that actually fits as all my bras end up collapsing without anything to keep them in shape.

I am currently wearing a 34A and i can get my whole hand in one cup!

Very nice

JustAnotherManicMummy · 16/09/2009 12:29

Balconette style might be a good idea. Your boobs sort of sit in the bra rather than the bra going round them IYSWIM. Something like this?

You could also try a chicken fillet or two down the cup. Just googled (never a good idea when looking for boob related stuff) and found this site where you can get ones with or without a nipple

BrokkenHarted · 16/09/2009 12:43

Thankyou both although with Bonsoirs suggestion i would need to figure out sizes and with JAMMs suggestion i would be lucky to fit a 32A but guess i could buy and see.

Yes i have thought about chicken fillets (great name eh ) for my smaller breast

Thankyou both!

I have a few of these pretty wireless bras from Calvin Klein. They aren't cheap but they seem well-made and I find (as a 32A) that they fit me much better than any with 'cups'.

tobago04 · 16/09/2009 21:29

Same size and h&m bras are great,good price and give a nice shape

cleanandclothed · 16/09/2009 21:32

Great thread - I will want some of these when I stop breastfeeding. Love my shape at the moment (34A) but I know I will shrink quite a bit. I like BonsoirAnna's second suggestion as I like a fair amount of material between my nipples and my clothes. BonsoirAnna - do you know if an A cup corresponds to an A cup here - which because I am likely to be an AA would be too big?

missworried · 17/09/2009 22:06

You must also try max cleavage and little women catalogues. Great bras, esp under clothes.

bellissima · 18/09/2009 09:01

If you are feeling rich one day La Perla do great bras for small boobs - I'm even a '2' - ie there are people ( no doubt petite Italians) even smaller - always makes me feel good.

KWYM re uneven - blame DD2 and her preference for one side - never the same since.

Chandon · 18/09/2009 09:53

Calvin Klein ones are very good: comfy and chique and shape enhancing for smaller boobs. They can go in the washer, and last years, they don´t lose their shape. I am addicted to them!

purplepeony · 18/09/2009 13:05

One of the best bras I bought was a £12 padded push up T shirt bra at M&S. They still do it, online as well.

I am between a 32-34B/C and it really does push them up!
I'd say you def. need some padding and chicken fillets type padding.

Have you had a look at La Senza , New Look and Next?

Princess Tam Tam

Lovely and sexy in a very stylish way not at all Page 3.
Expensive so I get them when figleaves etc have a sale.

Princess Tam tam also do the best soft cup triangle bras that look grown up and not like a trainer bra FGS i am 41 now, other bra companys take note.
I am a 34AA.

PetiteMaman77 · 31/10/2012 13:17

Post baby I've just bought some H&M and Debenhams bras, I'm only 34A and the 2 pack from Debenhams was a new one i found, white and navy with a pretty trim. If you're looking for nursing bras in A and B cups try www.petitemaman.co.uk. xx

we are talking as-unusual-as-a-FF-cup small

Actually, FF is not that unusual..
What are your under- and overbust measurements?

StatisticallyChallenged · 31/10/2012 14:24

Hazle beat me to it. You may not be a 34a...most women wear the wrong size and if your last fitting involved m and s, it's got about 99% chance of being wrong!

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 31/10/2012 14:43

I used to wear 34A that were a little too big in the cups, but after pregnancy ("we don't do maternity bras that small") and hours and hours of reading mumsnet while breastfeeding, I took note of all the s&b threads about bra sizing and no longer adding 4 or 5 inches to the band size, and took myself out the other week to buy new bras. I was delighted to find that a 30 D fits me, however (maybe it was where I was shopping) there seemed to be even less choice of that size. I brought a couple of pretty black bras in m&s for less than £20 each, although after reading the other threads, I wasn't measured there. I measured myself at home (29 under, 33 over), and took loads of bras in different sizes to try on. I was expecting to fit in either a 30 C or 32B, but maybe it was the style of bra I chose, slightly padded and plunge style ). After getting used to the 30 band, which is comfortable, it's surprising how big and unsupportive the old 34 inch one feels.

toffeefee · 31/10/2012 14:50

Can I ask if you have been measured at a good place recently? I spent years believing, thanks to M&S, that there was no bra for me as a 32AA was too big in the cup. I even contemplated going back to vest tops as I could never get anything to fit me properly. By chance I was in House of Fraser (I had exhausted everywhere else!) and a lady asked me what size I was looking for. I told her a 32AA and before I knew it she has whisked me into the changing rooms as she knew that I couldn't be that size from just looking at me. I tried on about 10 different bras until she showed me that I was in fact a 30C. I never thought that I could be a C cup as a AA was so big on me, and I certainly said to her that there was no way I could wear a 30 back as the 32 was tight on me, but the new size was so comfortable, no digging in, no gaping in the cups - perfect!

cashmerewebsandspidersheads · 31/10/2012 18:19

Elle Macpherson Intimates would be worth trying too. Maybe go to a stockist like House of Fraser and try some on.

TickledOnion · 31/10/2012 21:01

Wonder if OP has managed to find any bras? It's only been 3 years since she last posted!
