Victoria's Secret does not carry our size. If you have narrow shoulders be sure to find a bra that has straps that go into a V in the back and get a decent gore in the front of the bra that lays against your chest. At this time, I have asked Nordstroms to send a few I thought might work to a store here in Jackonville, If they do not work then I am going to re order from Poland since I finally found my size. You would be a 65F since I am a 70F...I am an E too. I am assuming you mean UK size since most US sizes do not use E. Good luck and hope this helps. Amazon and Ebay help too....Gorsenia, Gaia, Avacado, Konrad,and more. By the way, if you want to keep your girls perky then a balconette or pushup with just a little bit of padding will help. Good luck and happy bra hunting! There are a lot of pretty ones out there you just have to find what you need.Lady Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029090673034318856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-72772780385169801602016-04-20T18:16:28.635-07:002016-04-20T18:16:28.635-07:00Yes, I am petite and 51 myself.

I am a size 4 to 6 depending on the manufacturer....38...27...38. Do you shop in the junior section like I do sometimes? Now I am looking on line at some places in Poland where the women are petite and busty.

I find bras and tights are better in the UK - Bravissimo for bras and M&S for tights. It took ages for me to realise that balconette were better for a shorter frame, both Freya and Chantelle are pretty comfortable and look really pretty too.<br />Clothes - to be honest most UK retailers assume petite means thin and curvy means tall.

I too have always had friends that are over 5'7" (some even pushing and even over the 6' range), so shopping has been a painful experience for years. I am 4'8"...not sure on my exact measurements, but I am a 4P, with a 34DD bra. <br /><br />While any kind of shopping is miserable, I am most frustrated with finding clothes for the office and shoes (5 and 5.5). <br /><br />I do The Limited, Ann Taylor, Express, to name a few since they tend to have clothes for petites and even some curvy clothing. The problem is that even in those stores, the selection is very limited, especially if you are also curvy. All I have are pants and skirts in black or tan, no fun prints and no fun materials. <br /><br />Any other suggestions?

This solves the problem of 'the chest taking up a lot of fabric,' maintains the correct proportions, and ensures your waist is accented. If you are not confident in your midsection, then choose items that have some stretch (5% elastine for instance) but not too much - it will cling to you boobs and just under your boobs (the smallest part of your body) and hopefully skim over your midsection.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443890552736968363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-70450919224775005132013-06-28T08:14:21.036-07:002013-06-28T08:14:21.036-07:00In the fashion world, a woman is considered petite...In the fashion world, a woman is considered petite if she is under 5 feet 4 inches tall, regardless of her weight.

I'm so sorry you have to go though the silent pain of standing in your closet and wondering how to balance your top with your bottom and wishing you could just put a t-shirt on.... but you cant. And no one in your house understands. It makes you want to cry before a night out to dinner or the movies - God forbid the beach or the pool! And even when you think you look great - sometimes you catch a glimps of yourself in a window while out and think - holy crap - this top makes me look like I'm pregnant! I am 5' tall and weigh 109. I'm petite and thin with 32G. But I cant ever find 32G bras that don't cut under my arm pits! they are all made for larger women, not petites... same with the racerback bras... the X is so high on my back it's at my neck! Anyone else have this problem? So this leaves out a lot of tank tops for me. I also have to buy shirts in a large size to accommodate my bust... which makes me look dumpy. I relate to so many of your posts on here. I too have tried to sew up my bras to make them fit properly. I too shop at Goodwill so I can "re-size" - and the reason why I shop re-sale is because it has already been washed - no shrinking - this is crucial for big busted girls like us. I too was embarrassed in highschool. I too am frustrated. I too don't want to be stuck in this sterotype of big boobs tight clothes.... and other women DO resent the way I look unless I dress like a grandma. I too am tired. There must be a designer out there brave enough to take this on.
