They are called Freya. They have bands from 28 to 38 with cups up to a K cup. I just looked in their catalog and they have some super cute styles with a 28 band that go up to the UK J cup which is the equivelent to the US M cup and UK 30K/US 30O. I hope this helps. You can see their selects at freyalingerie.com. Happy shopping!<br />Oh, and for the plus size ladies, Freya's sister company Elomi has some fantastic bras. I'm a 40HH (UK) or a 40L (US) and they are the only bras I will wear. <br /><br />(note: I am a professional bra fitter. I have taken numerous courses on fitting the correct bra for the correct body type. I work primarily with women who have had matectomies, large busted women, and nursing moms.

A brassiere commonly referred to as a bra is a woman's undergarment that supports her breasts. Bras are typically form-fitting and perform a variety of functions and have also evolved into a fashion item. Women usually wear bras to support their breasts. Many women, with age, lose their breast volume along the tops of their breasts. This loss of volume along the top of your breasts creates an empty space in the top of your cup. you can beauty solution go to step.<a href="http://byebra.be/" rel="nofollow">Soutien-gorge bretelles</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-57356170015250133192013-11-06T14:41:00.559-08:002013-11-06T14:41:00.559-08:00I am so glad you published this!

I loved the video and your blog review...Hi there! <br /><br />I loved the video and your blog review. Like you, I'm a petite Asian girl with an underbust measurement of 24" and I wear 28 bands. I've had my share of troubles looking for a correct fitting bra. TLBC has some really cute bras but unfortunately, I'm out of their range as they don't carry my cup size so I never had the opportunity to try them. =( <br /><br />I've realized that smaller bands existed in 2008 and I've been shopping online for bras overseas ever since. Like you, I just couldn't go back to wearing my old Victoria's Secret bras. ;)<br /><br />I wanted to mention a company that I wish I had known about when I was younger (like when I was in high school or college). I think it may be of interest to you and/or your readers. It's Marks and Spencer (or M&S), a UK company that offers free international shipping and affordable (about $13-28 per 2-packs of bras) lingerie in a great range of sizes. For 28 backs, they currently carry cup sizes from 28AA-28D (they use to offer 28DD-28GG in the past, these can still be found on eBay). <br /><br />~*Though, keep in mind that they are UK sizes which means they are 1 cup bigger that US sizes. So If you wear a 28B in TLBC, you'd need a 28A in M&S.*~<br /><br />M&S bras in 28 bands are also readily available on eBay and can be commonly found for as little as $5 with free shipping. =)<br /><br />I also have problems finding bottoms that fit since I am also petite below. I usually wear size 00, 23/24, and XS/XXS bottoms in the US. So it helps that M&S also carries matching bottoms from size UK 6 (which is US 2 but I think they fit smaller because M&S bottoms run small).<br /><br />Too bad M&S don't carry my cup size anymore. =(Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083899030902912811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-169436739341991792013-07-05T08:51:10.316-07:002013-07-05T08:51:10.316-07:00This is the first time I've seen any of your v...This is the first time I've seen any of your videos, and I think you are the cutest!

I also love that you are confident yet modest, unlike so many 20-somethings who put themselves "out there" in the media.

Knowing that I'm not the only one out there that considers bra shopping a touchy subject feels great! I am very petite like you, I get so emotional when I go bra shopping and I find bra shopping difficult because I can't just go with my friend into places like Victoria Secret or any lingerie store for that matter because here where I am they don't carry my size in stores. I recently went bra shopping with my boyfriends mom and his sister and I had a fitting scheduled and to make it a short story I just couldn't find the right fitting bra so the fitter brought me bras from the little girls department and it was so humiliating especialy because I am going to be 20 this summer. I recently ordered a 32AA because an employee recommended to but in the cups there is gaps on the top and in the outer center, and I was wondering if you think I should try a 30A?<br /><br /><br />Thank you for your time.<br /> -CrystalCrystalLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532452746813476060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-89857467527274554102012-02-10T04:02:13.535-08:002012-02-10T04:02:13.535-08:00Hi,

This is so rare and very frustrating. I can completely relate to you, going to Victorias Secret, getting measured, and then feeling ashamed and embarrassed at the fact that their smallest bra size was too big for me. The Little Bra Company sells expensive bras compared to the ones I have, but because of your tutorial I think I'll buy it. I think its inspiring the way you talked about yourself. I've always had such a hard time over my self image after not having 'large' breasts, but it's nice seeing someone who feels confident and has the courage to share this. You're awesome.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076980308880199447noreply@blogger.com
