    Default Push-Ups for small waistline?

    So I got my bra size measured at Victoria's Secret, and I am a 30C. The employee recommended I try their 32B or 34A bras, and so I did. The cups ended up covering too much of my breasts, and there was never really any lift. All of their push-ups just sat on top of my boobs, even when I tried going down to a 32A. The 32A pushed my boobs to the sides and flattened them.

    I tried looking for bras in my size at Nordstrom. They had three models, none of them really push-ups or particularly sexy. I tried ordering one online from FigLeaves, which specialises in small waistbands. It makes me look completely flat chested and has NO support even though it was labeled a push-up. Basically lace with an underwire.

    Does anybody have advice for how to get a push-up that will give me a little definition here? Do you have to get them custom made? At the moment I've been wearing a transparent babydoll at a topless club because when I use one of my bras the customers think I'm 12 years old.

    Well VS isn't really the most helpful, I've found. What you're referring to is the bra band..unless you're wearing a corset or bustier? Maybe cause your band size is so small, it's affecting the cup size?
    I'd suggest trying a professional bra fitter, I don't know your area, but there's stores that sell lingerie that have them.

    I would just get bras that fit and that you think are beautiful, and then sew in some padding on your own. Like these for example: http://www.teddygirl.com/bra-pushup-pads.html

    Also, for better fit if regular bras provide too much coverage, specifically look for demi-bras and balconette bras. Here's one: http://www.figleaves.com/us/product/...=&colour=Pinks

    ^ Bras cut low like that are very flattering on smaller boobs. Although FYI I don't recommend Elle MacPherson balconette or push-up bras, they tend to be nothing of the sort.

    Hmm, I might try that. The last bra that I ordered online was a balconette bra, but it definitely was not flattering at all. The best bra I have at the moment, which I've had for ages and is a bit out of shape now, is an unpadded demi. It used to provide some cleavage even without padding. I don't think I would wear something from figleaves on stage again to be honest. The last time I did the customers literally looked away, and two people commented on my "little A cup boobs". >.> It would be more advantageous to just keep wearing the babydoll, since my boobs apparently look a full cup size larger without a bra.

    First things first go somewhere else to get fitted.

    My wife always felt that Fredericks of Hollywood bras were a bargain, because they were well made, and reasonable if you caught them on same.

    I also notice an onlinevvendor called "The Little Bra Company", they claim to specialize in small band size bras.

    First of all, if you're a 30-C, a 34-A bra makes no fucking sense. Neither does a 32-B.
    If you're a 30-C, you need a 30-C.

    Based on the infinite "wisdom" the VS associate provided, I'd actually suggest that you get measured elsewhere or measure yourself. Because ANYONE who thinks a 34-A is equal to a 30-C is not someone that I would trust... on any level.

    Check out this page to measure: http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits...eginners_guide they will direct you to the bra size calculator: http://www.brasizecalculator.tk/
    There is also a brand guide here: http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/buying_guide

    It's accurate.

    Here is another idea!
    Go to a good store or two. They'll measure you. Be sure to tell them that VS told you that a 34-A is equal to a 32-B which is synonymous with a 30-C. Trust me, a good laugh will be had. You can try on bras in YOUR SIZE... and see what works.

    Get a better idea of what brands/designs you like. Buy some in the store, then get some deals online...


    These sites have small-band bras. They start at size 28.
