Small bust, big heart

When you need a little boost: this strapless gel bra adds an extra cup size to your bust

Are you in the Know?  If you’re AA-cup to B-cup bust size, you really should be.

Meet Know Knockers, a lingerie company devoted to dressing women blessed with smaller assets. Co-founder Sheila says, “I know from experience how difficult it can be to find small bra sizes.  So we set up Know Knockers to provide a well thought-out range of quality lingerie, with bras starting at AA-cup.”

Refreshingly, for those of us familiar with the dowdy “training bra” selection usually offered to small-busted women, Sheila adds, “We’re always looking for small bras that don’t look like something your mum would buy.”

Actually, my mum can be quite open minded about glam undies — but still, the concept of sophisticated, sexy bras in small cup sizes is music to my ears.

As a special treat for SBBH readers, Know Knockers is offering a 25% discount on the Atlantis strapless gel bra from Panache. This great gel-filled bra comes with detachable straps and multi-way fastening options. Available in AA, A and B cup sizes, it promises an enhanced cleavage and a boost of one cup size.

And IL2L’s generosity doesn’t stop there — I caught up with them to hear their insights into the best silhouettes for neat-busted frames. Here are their pearls of wisdom:

The edgy biker jacket: perfect to team with a super feminine floaty dress

Work this season’s meld of hard and soft

Florals and lace are everywhere right now. Give the look some edge with a biker jacket that will look great on a more angular frame. Opt for a light grey jacket for a fresh Spring take on the trend.  Your neat curves will carry this blend of hard and soft perfectly. We love: Asymmetric leather biker jacket, £90, IL2L.com

Dare to be bold with a splash of colour

Bold colours can broaden your silhouette, so adding a dash of tomato red up top isn’t something everyone can get away with. If you’re petite-up-top, however, you’ll look striking and strong. Stick to one colour under your bright jacket to lengthen your silhouette. We love: Red quilted leather biker jacket, £89.95, IL2L.com

Flirty and rouched

For days when you’d like to add a little extra volume up top, or to balance your upper half with your hips, opt for a style of jacket with a lavish use of fabric around the bust. Ruching create a really pretty, feminine look, which works well to soften your favourite jeans. We love: Ruched funnel neck leather bomber jacket, £69.99, IL2L.com

Big-up your look with a statement bag

Small-busted girls can carry off a big bag, so top your leather jacket with some very glam and oversized arm candy. We love: Fiorelli amber large grab handbag, £43, IL2L.com
