I got a handful of emails after my last post about the latest bra from the Wacoal Petites collection. You know, the beautiful one that comes in ivory and purple? I’ve yet to try it, but I know several of the other styles in this line very well. They don’t all fit exactly the same, so I figured maybe it would be helpful to provide some information about each of the individual Wacoal Petite bras I’m familiar with.
All of these are current styles, available as of October 2010 in the Itty Bitty AA-List store. I’ll update this post in the future if any are discontinued, but hopefully I won’t need to (hear that, Wacoal? No more getting rid of our favorites, please).
Delicate embroidered lace flowers at the center gore and sides make the Wacoal Petites 75891 a sexy, sophisticated choice for special occasions.
This is an underwire push-up bra with removable cotton pads. Sizing is about average for the collection, meaning it runs smaller in both the band and cups like most petite bras. I take a 32AA in this style.
The cups are molded with significant padding already built in, so if you prefer non-padded styles you will certainly want to take out the cotton push-up pads.
I’ve heard from several adult women of average height and build that size AA bras are too tight across the front. The underwires are too narrow and close-set to fit an average figure properly.
