Maternity Clothes for Small Bust

BethanyAnn27

Ok ladies, I need your help! Are there any stores or brands of maternity clothes that are cut for small busts? Pre-pregnancy, I was barely a "nearly-A" or "AA" (I know, practically a concave bust!). Now I am starting to fit into my "A" cups that I have. Unfortunately, with the small bust, I was also blessed with a wide rib cage so finding shirts to fit is challenging at baseline. I am not optimistic that my cup size will increase much until I start nursing (this is how it has been for all the small-chested women in my family, though I am keeping my fingers crossed that one day I will wake up with boobs before baby pops out!). I also live in a pretty rural area so most shopping will have to be on line or at least an hour plus drive. Help!

I'm in the same boat and with my first pregnancy I mostly wore non maternity tops that were more flowy or just a size up. All maternity clothes seem to think your boobs get huge!

Good idea! I totally didn't think of that (pregnancy brain already, I guess!). I am praying that my boobs will decide to grow one of these days, but since I have been praying for that since 6th grade, I don't have much hope it will happen   :P

I'm a big busted girl (DD) and even I have issues with maternity tops. I second flowy/larger tops.

I wore a 38AA pre-pregnancy.  I'm already out of most of my A cups, even the ones that were too big, are fitting nicely now.  I bought a few B cups last week, and 2 fit, and 1 is HUGE. lol I didn't even notice my boobs were growing until I took my bra off and saw the marks on them last week.  I just bought some size small and medium maternity tops off of Zulily that looked more snug in the boobs... I'll let you know when they get here!  

Itty Bitty Materni-titty Gals UNITE!

This is just...perfect! I love it, and literally almost fell off the couch laughing!

I have A cup boobs. They don't grow with pregnancy and I like Old Navy tops. I'm not a fan of their pants, but their tanks are all I wear when my belly grows. They fit perfectly on my teeny boobs.

The good news is it will likely be pretty warm by the time you really "need" maternity clothes.  I found that lots of the stretchy maternity tanks were tight all over.  You may also be able to get away with just sizing up in normal clothes, some of my Old Navy tanks were great throughout the entire pregnancy.

This. I am on pregnancy #3 and I'm in xs and s maternity tops from ON. I find that the shirts with the gathers on the sides fit so well. For what it's worth, I could not find a nursing bra that fit even after I started nursing because they never went small enough. I ended up having to find a couple of padded bras that didn't have underwire. They worked really well.

Any ideas for work clothes for this issue? I am a 38A, and haven't grown so far (I'm 10w tomorrow). I wear a L shirt generally (occasionally M)...

I was a barely A cup before getting pregnant and am just now filling my A's. I was given a few small/ medium Henley type (soft cotton with a bit of stretch) maternity tops from Motherhood by a friend and they actually fit well in the chest. I think paying attention to the material and avoiding the overly thin, flowy type tops may be our best option.

I just cant wait for a good maternity tank.  I'm in the awkward transition phase.

I can relate!  Now I'm happy to see some cleavage. Woohoo!  Has anyone tried the Coobie bras? They don't have a snap, it's the kind you wear over your head.
