I'm 24 and I hate being a 30AA. I love the fact they are more or less weightless and I can do all the jumping and rolling around that I want, but other than that, I feel very ashamed. I'm so sick of the constant barrage of "I'm a REAL woman. I have curves." - yeah, that's great, but do you have to put it that way? I've been made fun of in public several times because of them. I've honestly given up on finding things that fit or finding sexy lingerie in general and I'm saving up the money to get implants.

I'm 30AA too! I'm 29 and I've had 2 kids (I think I became a real A cup when I breastfed my kids) I've been trying to find a nice "adult" bra and have so much trouble! I found a size 30 Wacoal bralette at Loehmanns once and that is currently my favorite bra. I've tried the Little Bra Company and a lot of other "petite" places but nothing fits! I've gotten a lot of, you don't even need to wear a bra comments too. I thought the Hanky Panky bralettes were cute but the chest band is too large for me :T I'm figuring out if I can just sew a seam and take out an inch or 2 but that's another story. Did you ever find any good bras or get implants? I actually flirted with the idea of the latter and now that I'm done having kids I've started thinking about it again. I wonder if there's an implant thread on this forum -_-

Ack sorry, I just realized that I quoted something from years ago :T Anyone have any good suggestions for an AA cup that's in the continental US?

Princess Tam Tam runs smallish :3 Also just found out that bloomies carries it online, maybe in stores too? Haven't checked yet. I have two bought two years ago in france and they are still in lovely shape! :smile: They have such pretty stuff.

Intimissimi has opened more online stores, I keep hoping they'll open a US online store soon ;___; I've been stalking their FB page.

Calvin Klein (the basic nude, black, and white line) has a good strapless bra I use, sometimes you can find it super cheap at TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

So difficult having small breasts sometimes lol. I thought they would get bigger after pregnancy, but they're exactly the same size, might've even loss some volume @_@ but I did go back down to my original weight. Oh well.

There is something called the Brasmyth at the short hills mall. Not sure if you're locate in NJ or it's a chain? But it seems like they alter bras. Link here:

Thanks for all the good tips! I'm waiting for some stuff to arrive. I ordered a Jockey bra in 30AA thinking it would work but the cups were too big :T Why are bras so difficult?!

You know what used to always bug me ? When I had my kids I could never get a good maternity bra for my size - it was like "hello ! Smaller women get pregnant and breast feed too ! :sad:

Hi Ladies,

So glad I came across this thread.

Having a bit of a dilemma. I hate push-ups/padded bras and have thus avoided the mainstream lingerie shops a la VS, La Senza, LVR etc. When it comes to the bust area, I like modesty and I'm happy I'm not any bigger than a 34A (sometimes I wish I was smaller!)

I've settled for the Vogue Petite Bra line -- but at a very specific style: the Lined Wire Free Contour Bra.

$(KGrHqR,!pwE9eGeBW0ZBPcHEPONIQ~~60_35.JPG


It's really nice because it isn't too padded, but there's great coverage and it doesn't my girls bigger than they are. Although, I'd like it to have more back support, because I feel like I'm not getting the right bra to correct my slouching.

The trade-off though probably involves switching to something more padded which I don't want. In a perfect world, I would want the style and coverage of a regular bra with the flattening effect of a sports bra.

I checked out Lulula and I love this one: http://www.lulalu.com/products/delilah-wireless-bra. As a student, I'm still not willing to spend $60 on a bra. So, with that being said, does anyone of any recommendations of some bras they might think would meet my criteria? I've tried the Barely There CustomFlex 4085, but there's not coverage on that bra and it's super thin you can see everything under!

Hi! I have a question... How do you ladies wear low cut tops? And do you wear a bra/pasties with them? I'm a 34A and mine just look weird in low cuts so it just makes me avoid it... But I do want to start wearing low cuts... And which type/brand of bra would you get? Any advice would help!!

I just can't find a bra that's cut low enough so I choose to embrace the inevitable peeking out that happens with my bras. I choose bras that are lace in nice colors. I like black. I coordinate the color of the bra with my outfit and make it an accent to my outfit. I never wear a bra in a material that screams "plain old bra peeking out here," so no plain cotton or super shiny sateen, flesh/nude tones, etc.

Good thing about being flat chested is that it looks sexy but subtle. I don't really have much cleavage so the bra just sits flush on my skin with nothing to push up. We can get away with a lot more than big chested girls.

I like H&M and Free People for bras that can peek out. I'm a size 32B. With H&M, they rarely carry 32B but I find that their lingerie runs small so a 34A fits me just fine.

And I would never go braless with a low cut top. I'm also petite. So if the top is even slightly loose and I lean over, the person in front of me would see nipple! A bra is a must.

I'm a 34B. Good (and pretty) brands for us smaller ladies:

Eberjey (http://www.eberjey.com/intimate/catalog/product/view/id/2138/s/india-retro-bralet/category/13/ , http://www.eberjey.com/intimate/bras/colette-racer-back-bralet.html , http://www.eberjey.com/intimate/bras/pima-goddess-t-shirt-bra.html)

Honeydew (http://www.honeydewintimates.com/1168-Sunflower-Lace-Bralette_p_340.html)

Little Bra Company http://www.thelittlebracompany.com

Itty Bitty Bra http://www.ittybittybra.com

One of the only VS designs I naturally fit into: http://www.victoriassecret.com/bras...by-victoria?ProductID=88342&CatalogueType=OLS ) No padding, gives a nice shape w/ molded cups

When I was in HS I used to be really self conscious of being on the smaller side boobwise and wore lots of padded bras and such but now I reallyyyy dislike them and embrace my smaller size and tend to wear an assortment of the above bras....(in college now)

I want to share my holy grail bra. It's by Wacoal Petites. I discovered it at Nordstrom. I never realized what a difference petite sizing would make but this bra is absolutely perfect. No gaping and it gives me a nice shape under clothing. It also gives a noticeable push-up to the very little that I have to push up. Most push-up bras just don't do anything for me. The padding in is also removable, which is a feature I really appreciate. I can get a fuller shape when I wear something where I need to fill out more, and also when I don't want to look more busty. I'm a 32B but not very full.

Another brand I have a lot of luck with is Betsey Johnson. Maybe it's because her line is targeted towards a younger audience but it fits my size very well. I'm petite, 5'1.5" and 103lbs. I like this "Stocking Stripe" bra for my everyday bra. The lining is very lightly molded. It's molded enough to give shape under clothing and hide any cold looks, without any padding or increase in bust size. Her bras are also so pretty and girly for when you want pretty lingerie. I have several.
