Made from luxe materials like satin and lace, the best lingerie for small boobs is designed to comfortably complement your body, and you can choose from a wide array of styles, from simple bralettes to plunging bodysuits to cute two-piece sets.
Shopping for the best lingerie for small busts tends to be a far easier task than finding the perfect everyday bra to fit a small cup size. Still, there are a few things to keep in mind when you start perusing lingerie. For example, if you like to mix and match sizes and colors, you may want to avoid buying matching two-piece sets, and would be better off investing in a bunch of different separates. You may also want to consider avoiding styles that come with underwire cups because they often don't fit smaller chests as well. Instead, choose lingerie with either built-in support or no bra component at all. And be sure to think outside the traditional lingerie drawer, if you will. Things like bodysuits or sheer robes can also work wonderfully, whether you’re buying lingerie to wear in the bedroom or to feel more fabulous while you lounge around the house.
Above all, the most important thing to remember when shopping for lingerie is that we’re all different — and that's okay. Don’t worry about anything besides how good you feel in your new piece. Whether you’re a lingerie newbie or fancy yourself a connoisseur, these are some of the best pieces of lingerie for small-chested women.
1A Sheer Bodysuit With A Lace-Up Back
This sheer one-piece has no cup to get in your way or cause discomfort. The halter bodysuit, which connects to a rose-patterned bottom, has a deep V-neck and adjustable tie of the halter means it can accommodate smaller busts easily. The back is mostly open, with a corset-like lace-up detail that can be adjusted to to various sizes, fitting up to a 42-inch back. It comes in 11 colors, like violet, peacock blue, and black.
Fans say: "I have a petite pear body type, small chested and fuller hips and this fit great and looks amazing, I can’t wait to surprise my husband! I also was impressed with the material, really soft and feels good on.”
