Bras and Tips for Petites

Women of all shapes and sizes deserve to find bras that suit their body type and make them feel confident, and it’s not just women with larger busts that struggle. There is a misconception that petites have an easy time shopping for clothing and lingerie, because it’s believed that designers cater to these women. This is not always true, and we understand that. Shopping for bras can be just as tricky for a petite woman as it can be for any other woman. Now That’s Lingerie has lots of styles of bras, from flirty and fashion-forward, to simple and cozy, that can help give a petite woman the proper support and even give her some extra lift and padding if she desires.

Before a petite woman goes shopping, there is one thing she must do. She needs to be measured! It is just as crucial for a petite woman to know her proper bra size before she begins shopping for bras.

Once you know your size, make sure you shop that size! Going a size up in a bra with lots of padding to “emphasize” your bust doesn’t work.You can find padded bras in your size that will embrace the gorgeous shape you are and emphasize your breasts in a natural way.

Lastly, if you aren’t looking to emphasize your breast, go for a bra with a fuller cup. The more full your cup is, the more accurate your breasts will appear in terms of size. A demi cup, however, will create the look of a fuller breast.

Now that you’re ready to shop for petite-friendly bras, here are some options straight from Now That’s Lingerie!
