Wanted: petite focused lingerie lines and brands for naughty/sexy lingerie.
Are you petite? 28 to 30 band size with a A to B cup? If so, I need help finding some naughty and sexy lingerie for a bachlorette party!
I am perfectly capable of googling around to find some but I would prefer recommendations from real people. Also, many brands use the word 'petite' but don't actually mean petite sizing.
The Little Bra Company is already short-listed, any other lines out there like this? The don't have any naughty/sexy sets although some of the bras and undies are very nice - and anyway, it would be nice to have more variety from other petite brands.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hanky panty! Also perfect for something like a bachelorette party since it's stretchy lace and fits a range of sizes (unlike a normal underwire bra). Love the basic bras/underwear and they also have a more risqué line called "After Midnight."

Mimi Holliday runs small and has 28/30 band sizes but I'm not sure they go down to an A/B cup. It might be worth trying one of their XS or a 28C though.

I wear a 30C (but measure 28" on the underband.)
Figleaves. I'd also look for soft cup sort of lacy stuff. Check Amazon too. I like the stuff from Seven Till Midnight and Dreamgirl. It tends to run small. Check the reviews. (I jump for joy when someone says their boobs were too big for something. That's when I know it will fit me.) I have this in a small and it's amazing. (Also I cut the underwire out of most of my bras and it helps them fit my boobs. I cut the underwire out of that one from Amazon and it makes my boobs look amazing.)
I do have a bridal triangle top babydoll from Victoria's Secret. Some of their stuff comes in XS and lots of their babydoll tops have tiny little triangle tops. This has an adjustable top in XS.

Another possibility is to look for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean lingerie lines. I once did some lingerie shopping in Hong Kong and found that even applying the "standard" size conversion to US sizes (convert cm to inches for the band, subtract one cup size), the bras were a size or so smaller than the conversion suggested. There was definitely a lot available in the 28A/30A range.
ShibuyaSJ carries Japanese lines, but I've never purchased there
Wacoal seemed to have some Asia specific lines that ran smaller than their US counterparts

Response by poster: Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming!
Runs small is good but I'm specifically looking for lines that cater to petite sizing.
asphericalcow, any suggestions for these asian lines and whether I'd be able to get them in the US? I should add that these brands need to be available for me or anyone else to order.

Best answer: AFAIK the only specifically petite bra lines in the US or Europe are The Little Bra Company and Lula Lu Petite Lingerie. The latter, which I don't think has been mentioned above, carries both its own line and other lines like TLBC, Timpa Duet, Honeydew bralettes which may not be specifically petite. And it looks like Lula Lu's own bras mostly cater to the 32AAA-38A size matrix, which is still petite but different from your requirements.

Best answer: Oh! You can also take a look at the blog Of Lambs and Lace, which reviews fancy lingerie on a very petite frame. European brand focus, so you might have to order through a shipping forwarder. A lot of the stuff she showcases is naughty/sexy but not at all supportive or practical for also wearing everyday.
