Tomima's Tip "What is a petite bra? It's a bra where the cups are positioned a little closer together and the distance between the cup and shoulder is shorter than average."
This Wacoal Petites Stretch Lace Bra is part of the Wacoal Petites collection.
I love the bra and the service was great!

I'm a breast cancer survivor that had a lumpectomy and radiation therapy a couple years ago. I lost about 1/3 of one breast, and have been trying to "make due" with my old bras. I'm small busted, and have been looking unbalanced and started to only wear very loose fitting shirts. I went to Nordstrom thinking I was going to get a prosthesis to put inside my bra, when the fit specialist told me that I needed a bra that fit. I love this bra! It's the first underwire I've ever had and I find it very comfortable. The padding makes me look balanced again. I can even wear tight fitting t-shirts and not feel self-conscious. I would recommend this product for women that have had lumpectomies!

I find this to be a very comfortable bra, but cup Size is a little larger than most bras. I started with an A and returned it for an AA. (Easy service on the return!)The padding is a bit overwhelming for my tiny frame (being 5'2" and built like a toothpick) but I've been using it for those shirts that just fit better if you're a bigger bust size.

CON: I'm a 32C who is very very petite so that even the petite bras have too much space between the shoulder and the breast. The insane amount of padding in this bra compromises the fit. The center doesn't rest against my breastbone, gapping away from my body. This along with the heavy molding and padding causes the front of the bra to gap significantly if I haunch of shrug even a little.
PRO: I love the side support it provides. Love it.

This is my all-time favorite bra- fit, comfort, looks- it has it all. It is ironic that the Petite size fits me better (I am 5'10") but it fits my torso perfectly! I learned of this bra at a three-hour marathon bra fitting at Nordstroms. I occasionally try other brands, but always come back to this.

I ordered this bra first in a 30A, and the cups were way too large, so exchanged it for the 30AA. This fits well. My right breast is smaller than the left which creates a bit of a problem with fit, but that's not the bra's fault! This is also a really pretty bra. I just wish there were more 30AA bras available, and Herroom is the only place that has this size.

This is a beautiful bra, but even the AA cup was too large for me, but then, I'm pretty small. I'm considering ordering a 30 AA as opposed to the 32. I really want this bra to work!

Does ride up, but I am very happy with the over all fit. The best I have found so far, for us LITTLE women.

The fit around the band is good, but the cups are huge and have so much padding that it doesn't look natural under shirts. I personally hate looking like I'm ashamed of having a small chest by wearing obviously fake boobs/padding in my bra. "Enhanced" is OK, fake is not. As usual, the quality of Wacoal is excellent, but that's about it for this bra. I have some of their other bras and am otherwise a loyal customer of the brand.

The bra is very pretty but the padding is overwhelming. There's way too much for a AA cup. I find the underwires aren't very comfortable but maybe that's because I'm just not used to underwires. I wish they'd make this bra with WAY less padding and no underwires.
HerRoom Response: Paula, perhaps you are really an A cup.
