Shopping a bra for smallbusted woman like me is not a picnic. Most of the bras are manufactured for big breasted women. Look at the bras with the size 36A and bigger, they have the soft fabric, laces and beautiful colors and patterns.
Sometimes I found the bras that I like but I hate the one centimeter padded they inserted in. When I try it on, I feel so fakey. A few times I find a bra without an excessive padding, but I hate the underwire. Why do I need the underwire bra for? There's not much to support in that department. It's not like my breasts are as huge as cantaloupe.
Many years ago I opted to camisole. I have tons of camisole: cotton, playtex and silk. I wear a beautiful made sport top of Jockey, Puma, Adidas and Zen too. They are comfortable and breathable. But sometimes when I wear silk shirts, or kebayas, wearing camisole is not an option. My nipples are visible a mile away.
I was not totally give up looking for my kind of bra.
Late afternoon, after I left the post-office in Chinatown, I stopped at the bathroom at Macy's in lower level. On my way to subway station, I took a short cut through lingerie. And I am glad I made the decision. Walking through aisles of bras islands, I noticed the bras that I haven't noticed before. Maybe they have been there all along, since I stopped shopping for a bra long time ago, I guess I missed it.
It's Olga Petite. I stopped short in my track. And I didn't have to look for long either. Less than 20 minutes I found what I like. I found my size, and top of that, it's seamless, wire free and it's soft taupe. What more can I ask for? I bought two pairs. Finally, some bra designers got the side of their heads whacked and learn there are small busted women on this planet who like to wear fine, lacy and comfortable bras.
There are a lot of small busted women who like to wear sexy bra without feeling trapped with wires underneath or excessive padding. This is the answer for my long search. Thank you, thank you.
lol...........I thought I'm the only one bithcing about buying bras...
