Petite isn’t a height–it’s a proportion.
Women of all heights can have smaller band sizes or a more petite bust frame, and that’s exactly who The Little Bra Company® is made for. Our bras are engineered with petite‑specific proportions to eliminate gaping, slipping straps, and oversized cups. This photo shows the truth: petite comes in many shapes, sizes, and heights. Every woman deserves a bra that fits her frame beautifully.
It’s in the little details...
The Little Bra Company® designs bras that actually match the proportions of petite and smaller‑framed women, giving you the fit you’ve been searching for. Instead of shrinking a standard bra, every TLBC style is engineered from the ground up for a smaller figure. That means underwire shaped for petite frames, shorter cups, closer‑set straps, and a band that sits exactly where it should. Just like petite clothing is tailored with slimmer shoulders and shorter inseams, our bras are scaled in every detail to eliminate gaping, slipping, and oversized cups. The result is a bra that fits better, flatters more, and feels like it was made for your body—because it was.

Bra Size Chart
Measure your 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
| MEASUREMENT (INCHES) | 25" - 26" | 26.5" - 28" | 28.5" - 30" | 30.5" - 32" | 32.5" - 34" | 34.5" - 36" |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BAND SIZE | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 |
Measure your cup size
Measure around the fullest part of your 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, 27.25", round up to 27.5". Find your measurements below on our chart to determine your cup size.

Use your new size as a starting point and explore bras designed specifically for petite proportions. Every body is unique, so different styles will fit and flatter differently. Our collection is built to enhance smaller frames with natural-looking curves, comfort, and pretty details. Check each style’s fit tips to discover your best match, try a few silhouettes, and don’t forget to scoop for extra cleavage. For extra guidance, watch the “How to Measure” video below.
Are your breasts wide‑set or close‑set?
Understanding your spacing helps you choose styles that truly fit and flatter. At The Little Bra Company®, we design bras in two key categories—wider‑set and closer‑set—so you can quickly find the shapes that match your natural silhouette and give you the best lift, comfort, and cleavage.
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
Put on your TLBC bra and lean forward so your breasts naturally fall into the cups.
While still leaning, hold the bra where the wing meets the underwire with one hand, and use the other to gently scoop your breast tissue toward the center. Repeat on the other side.
Stand up and adjust your straps so they’re supportive but comfortable—you should be able to fit two fingers underneath.
Enjoy the cleavage boost and get dressed with confidence.
Trust us...and your sister size.
You may notice your first TLBC bra feels different because our sizing is truly petite—and that often means you’ll need to sister‑size. If you normally wear a 30B and our fit calculator recommends a 32A, that’s correct: a 32A, 30B, and 28C all share the same cup volume. As your band size changes, your cup letter changes too. Don’t be afraid to size up for the best fit, comfort, and shape.

We’ve got you covered from top to bottom.
Our panties are cut on a petite scale, similar to our bras, so you will find that they will fit smaller than other brands in the same size. Please consider going up a size when purchasing our underwear or use the below size chart to find your size.
