                    I want to buy my girlfriend some lingerie, she is aware of this and I've asked her to look for something that she likes and will feel comfortable in.
Now the stumbling block, she is very slim a size 6, and she has "no" boobs. This is not a problem for me, in fact I've always preferred smaller breasts and to me she is perfect and I wouldn't change her for the world, but it is a problem when coming to buy lingerie.
It seems that buying lingerie for women with very small breasts is near impossible, so was wondering if anyone knew of a site that caters for small women.

            I just googled 'lingerie for AA cup' and tonnes of sites came up, one in particular called 'littlewomen.com' says it specialises in that, going as low as a AAA cup.0

 I did look at that, and that is pretty much bras only.
 She doesn't get lingerie as she is not very confident in herself, so this is her first time really.
 She found a nice outfit from Victoria secret, but this is no longer on their site.
 She is going to have a look later but I just wondered if there was any smaller sites that anyone knows of instead of the big players like Ann summers etc.0

            Boux avenue do nice sets. Often have sales on and exclusives. They say the do from an A cup.
 To be really MSE thet often come up on cashback sites too. They do have some stores so depending on location you could go shopping0

            Ann Summers is still the "cheap & nasty" type of underwear .....I would not be happy to receive it as a gift.0

            Sometimes for a less common size, a simple Google search can throw up companies that may not be mainstream, but have what you are looking for.0

 As a AA myself this is the only decent site I have come across - they do sell matching panties for some of the bras.

            I second Marks and Spencers, worked there in the past. They do lovely good quality lingerie and usually have inclusive sizes, even AA cups in the pretty stuff- have a look online or maybe take your Mrs in to try on. They definitely do matching sets aswell. Good luck! I know the struggle!!

            I'm sure you mean well marc but wouldn't it be better if you perhaps treated her but she chose herself?
 The first thing I'd say is that she really needs to go to a shop and try things on and maybe get a proper fitting. Don't rely on online shopping for lingerie particularly as it'll probably be non refundable.
 I find the assistants in Victoria's Secrets very helpful or John Lewis or M&S (although they sometimes want you to make an appointment). In my area there's a good independent shop too but these are few and far between. You could go with her if she needs help but maybe wait outside or you may get some strange looks.
 Please don't go for Ann Summers. They're tacky and tarty IMO.0

 Speaking as a male who has attempted to do the the same thing as the OP, I would agree with this.
 A couple of years ago I decided to surprise my wife with some lingerie for Christmas. Way outside my comfort zone but I thought I would be fine as she had recently had a proper fitting at the local Bravissimo shop. I noted the sizes of the two bras she bought from there and just ordered another one in exactly the same size from Bravissimo's web site. Not only was it too small, I don't think she really liked it either.
 I gave her a vacuum cleaner this Christmas just gone. She loved it.Please don't go for Ann Summers. They're tacky and tarty IMO.
 I'll second this too. Just nasty!0
