This is my first post in the forums and of course, it's going to be about bras. I wear 'em every single day, and yet I'm still not sure about my exact size!

I've been wearing 34A for years, but using this calculator: http://www.atlastravel.nazwa.pl/mini/, as recommended by Petite XXS (http://www.petitexxs.com/2010/06/tlbc-how-to-find-your-proper-bra-size.html), I am a 30C! Oy.

So, does anyone have recommendations for a great-fitting small strapless bra? My main complaint with all of the strapless bras that I've tried is that the cups gape at the top and it doesn't feel like it'll stay on all day long. The only one I've found so far that doesn't do this is a bandau one at Gap, which had that plastic sticky "make-this-bra-stay-up stuff" all across the top, but the bra showed underneath anything low-ish cut.

So a strapless bra, small size (30C, 32A or 34A)...any suggestions?

The Little Bra Company now makes C cups, and go as small as a 28 band!

I got measured as a 28C, but can wear the TLBC Sasha in size 30B (their bands run about one size small). I could probably go down to 28C because I like my strapless bras tight, so a 30C would probably fit you snuggly.

I second TLBC. It gives a nice boost, doesn't slip, and doesn't have the silicone "grips" along the side.

One thing I did notice with my 30A though, is that the band has a tendency to "crumple" downwards on itself - I'm between sizes though, and it would probably be solved with a 28B + back extender.

Hello,

One of the best places to get a strapless bra is from a company in Poland called Ewa Michalak. The site is in basic English. Make sure you follow their fitting instructions because they are different from most companies, but they work. You might find you go up a band size, from a 28 to a 30, because they are really tight. But they fit great . The website is http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/. Good luck!
