The Little Bra Company's bras are designed and cut on a petite scale. Unless you are very petite, when sizing yourself, please round up for a more perfect fit. For example, if you usually wear a 30, try a 32.
HerRoom Fitter's Comments:

Center front is 3/8" tall with bow accent.
The top of cups are 3/16 ", and the fullest part of pad measures 13/16" in thickness.

Elastic straps are 1/2" wide and adjust in the back with metal hardware.
2 row, 3 column back hook and eye closure for all sizes.
As with the Angela, going up a band size as suggested by TLBC did not work for me. The Lucia in ivory 34B was too loose in the band unless going to the tightest hooks, and the cups were too big and gapped. I exchanged for 32B in Auberigne/Blush. This one is almost a bit too snug (I read on a blog, wish I could remember which one, that this color has a tighter band than the other Lucia colors: they even held 2 up together to demonstrate), but it will be okay I think, once the elasticity relaxes a bit. This one gives more push-up and a bit of actual cleavage for me than the Angela. It's got more padding than the Angela, but it's still very comfy and once you have it on, it doesn't really look or feel like there's a huge amount of padding there. Very cute. Thanks LBC!!!

My husband almost fell to the floor. Yes, it is that hot. I have never had a bra fit so perfectly and give such exquisite shape. Because of the lace overlay, you have to be careful what shirts you wear. Other than that, I recommend this product for someone looking for lift and has more coverage.

It's made for petite women! First bra I've ever found that fits my narrow ribcage and gives me real cleavage :)

I'm normally a 30B-C and I ordered the 32B after reading all of the reviews that the band runs large. I probably should have stayed with the 30 though. Right now I wear it on the tightest hook and it fits nicely but I have a feeling it will eventually stretch out and be too big. I'm awkwardly sized because my entire frame isn't petite (I'm 5'3" so I'm on the tall end), I just have very narrow shoulders and rib cage. The straps and cups fit nicely and it's a pretty bra. I like that the cups are so close together because that's always been my problem with other bras. I bought the aubergine color and it's a little darker than the picture but still pretty. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it didn't do as much for my chest as I expected, although it does round them out a bit.

A beautiful, well-made and comfortable bra. I highly recommend it if you are very petite (short and small-boned). I'm a 32A in Wacoal Petites and Timpa, but The Little Bra Company runs even smaller. The 34A Lucia fits well on me and looks really pretty. The straps are a little too short, as I am on the taller end of the petite scale (63.5"). I'm giving it five stars because it is perfect for women who are built truly tiny, and that's why they are called The Little Bra Company!

Finding a bra to fit me is next to impossible. What I really need (according to measurements that I've taken at least a dozen times and come up with the same size each time) is a 36A. They NEVER fit right - the distance from outside wire to outside wire is always too small leading to bulging under the armpits. This bra in a 36A was no exception, so I tried the B - it fits better but is still not great. I wish bra companies would make bras for thin people with broad shoulders and small breasts...

Her Room is not kidding about this bra--it runs small. I'm a petite-framed 5'2" 100 lbs and I always wear a 32B. Well, a 32B squeezed my ribcage so much I had to go up a size. The 34B is great, and this is a very good bra for small breasted women. The cut is good for v-necks, but not scoop necks.

One of the best that I have ever bought here or elsewhere. The only "imperfection" is that the color is way way off. In the pic, it looks like... lavender. But, in reality, it is more like maroonish light purple. That is, if you look hard enough for the purple component. I tried all the lights at my place to convince myself that it was My fault that i picked the "wrong" color. (I did not.)

I usually get a 28 A because it's as small as I can find and still find it a little loose. This 28 A is a little tight for me, but I think it'll break in well. My smaller breast still want's to go it's own way rather than work with the push-up, but when I first put the bra on, it looks fabulous.

Love this bra..Cleavage is unbelievable! My best friend thought I had the "magical" surgery. Nope, just the bra. Very comfortable. My "girls" are very happy!!
