Most stores stop offering bras at size 32 bands. I'm pretty sure I'm somewhere between a 28 or 30 band! So here are some online stores that offer small band bras. Please add any that I may have missed...or share your experiences with any of these companies:

Nordstrom:

I made the most unbelievable discovery this weekend, that I am just so excited about. Victoria's Secret does carry size 30 bras online! They are hidden under the "PINK" section. You have to click on the "PINK" link at the top, and then on the left side under bras, there will be a link for "Size 30". I just can't believe I never knew about this, but they certainly have these hidden well. They have their pink collection bras along with some of their regular collection bras like Very Sexy®, all available in size 30! I really couldn't believe it, because I've looked high and low for size 30 on their site in the past and was convinced they didn't exist.

Just a note that only the UK La Senza offers size 30 bands. The Canadian stores DO NOT. Here in North America, size 30 is, for the most part, only available in specialty boutiques.

I love figleaves.com! As a 30b/30c...it's rather difficult to find a great fitting bra and for a great price. I don't want extra padding or a pushup...just something for the everyday. I fell in love with the figleaves brand bra in 30c...though in the US, i'm a 30b. I'm not sure about the difference in sizing, but as long as it fits, who cares about the size.

I've tried the CKU T-shirt bra in 30b but their cups are too wide for my preference and in their petite department, I haven't found a 30b to test out. I also have a Chantelle bra in 30c and though it fits, it's not as comfortable as the figleaves one despite being twice the price.

But figleaves, I went with the padded basic bra because the unpadded felt very sheer. Also, they have a multiway bra/strapless...which I need but I don't want to spend $50+ on a bra. So for less than $25, I'm going for figleaves brand again.

Basic Bra:

Strapless/Multiway:

Here is a site that specializes in large cup sizes (D-KK), and they go down to a size 28 band!

http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie

They even have a size 28 band bathing suit:

I checked out the 30 band bras and I was hoping that it'd fit. The band is perfect, but I guess I'm a 30C at VS because the cups are too small. Sigh...

My favorite bra by Calvin Klein:

http://www.cku.com/product/index.jsp?pr ... age=search

The picture is not the best, but it is the smallest size 30 I have found in stores (Belk's and Dillard's). This bra runs a bit smaller than Victoria Secret's size 30.

Stats: 5'2"/89 lbs.
