Who wears The Little Bra Company®?
The petite customer in the intimate apparel world is not necessarily just 5‘ 4” and under. We have taller customers who happen to have a smaller rib cage and/or bust frame who fit our smaller bras as well. Our scale is based on a petite body type, so our proportion is based on a smaller figure, but as you can see, there is more than just one kind of petite woman.
It’s all about proportion.
The Little Bra Company® bras are different because we design our bras especially for petite and smaller-framed women. Our scale is based on a petite body type, so our proportion is based on a smaller figure. Just like petite-sized clothing fit a petite woman better because shoulders, waists, and inseams are proportionately slimmer, narrower and shorter, TLBC’s bras fit similarly. ALL details are scaled down to better fit and flatter your petite frame.

STEP 1: BAND SIZE
Measure around the top of your rib cage right under the bust (not too tight, not too loose). Make sure the measuring tape is level in the back. If you are in between a measurement, always round up to the nearest half inch. For example, 26.25", round up to 26.5". Find your measurements below on our chart to determine your band size.

Now, you’ve got your size, but don’t stop there! Use this as a guide, and try our bras. When trying on The Little Bra Company®, please remember we are designed especially for the petite body type, but every body is still unique and may differ slightly in shape. We’ve taken this into consideration, and created a collection of bras to fit a variety of silhouettes, and to meet different wardrobe needs. Therefore, not every bra style will fit or flatter you the same. Check our fit tips on each style page to find more details on which style will work best for you. And remember, although others may sell smaller bra sizes, TLBC bras are designed to fit a smaller body type giving you a better fitting and more natural-looking curve...without giving up any prettiness. And, don’t forget to "scoop" for cleavage! If you need more assistance please watch the video on How to Measure below.
Are you wide-set or close-set?
There are different breast shapes that can affect the way different bra styles look on you. At The Little Bra Company®, we categorize our bras into two different styles: wider-set and closer-set.
Wide-set
If your breasts gravitate closer to your sides and three fingers or more separates them from each other, you would look best in our wider-set styles.
Close-set
If your breasts are closer together and less than two fingers apart, you would be considered closer-set in our bras.
Do-the-scoop
How to get the perfect push-up?
1.) Put THE LITTLE BRA® on. Lean over to allow your breasts to fall naturally into the bra cups.
2.) While leaning over, take your left hand to hold the bra, where the back wing meets the underwire. Now, use your right hand to scoop your "little goods" to the center of THE LITTLE BRA®. Repeat step with the right cup.
3.) Adjust shoulder straps - tight enough to keep your breasts in place and supported, but not so tight that there is pressure on your shoulders. You should be able to put two fingers underneath the strap.
4.) You've got cleavage! Wear your favorite fashions with a bra from THE LITTLE BRA COMPANY®.

When trying on The Little Bra Company® for the first time, you may feel that our bras in your current size fit more snug than other bra brands. Our petite sizing is just that, PETITE, so don’t be afraid to size up. For instance, you may currently wear a 30B in a different brand and our fit calculator suggests a 32A. “What?! 32A?, you say. Well, a 32A has the same cup volume as a 30B and even a 28C! Therefore, although you may be used to wearing a B-cup this will change as your band increases or decreases. This is called sister sizing.
