A few Sundays ago, I bravely battled Fairfax traffic (easily one of the most trafficiky streets in LA) to go see
The Little Bra Company during their shopping event/sample sale. I’ve wanted to try their bras for a quite a while, but being more of a “gotta see it in person” shopper, I had never gotten around to ordering online. Since the merchandise was going to be in my neighborhood, I had no excuse not to go see what they were all about.
The Little Bra Company specializes in petite sized lingerie, specifically for A and B cups. Sizing ranges from 28 A&B to 36 A&B, and because this is a petite lingerie line, the bras run small. This means, if you wear a size 30 band in non-petite sized bras, you will be a size 32 band in The Little Bra Company. This is excellent news for those of us with tiny band sizes! That means if you are a very hard to find size 26 band, you will most likely find a great fit in The Little Bra Company’s size 28 band bras. The petite sizing also means the cups are set closer together than a non-petite bra, perfect for those of us with small proportions.
When I got there, I met Emily Lau, the founder of The Little Bra Company. She gave me a quick intro to the bras, and then helped me find the perfect fit. I was really excited to try the
Lucia, a beautiful lace detail, deep plunge push up bra that I had drooled over while perusing the online store. I picked out the pretty dusty purple color called Aubergine/Blush, and Emily helped me figure out I was size 30B!
The next bra I was really excited to try was the
Sascha, a convertible push up bra that can go STRAPLESS! Oh wow…I have gone
forever without a strapless bra because I just could not find one small enough! I’m convinced there is nothing more frustrating or uncomfortable than a too big strapless bra. All the tugging and yanking just trying to keep it up is enough to drive a woman nuts. The Sascha goes down to a size 28 band (size 26 in non-petite sizing), and I found my perfect fit with the size 30B. I picked this one up in creamy white, and will probably get it in black once summer comes around and I’m wearing my little skimpy tanks and tube tops again.
All in all, I was really impressed with The Little Bra Company. The bras are beautifully designed, come in great colors, and the matching bra and boyshort sets are adorable. Not to mention, their push-up abilities are amazing. Let me just say, I’ve never seen my girls so…um…well, you know what I mean. =) It’s amazing what a proper petite fit can do for a petite woman.
I also tried their t-shirt bra, but found the cups to be too small for me, which is amazing, because very rarely do I ever find anything too small!
The list of retailers in the US and abroad carrying The Little Bra Company is expanding, so see if a store near you is carrying them so you can try them on in person. If not, they are offering free shipping (US & Canada only) on orders of $100 or more.
