Who Makes Size 38A Bras?

After two years of surgeries and a TRAM reconstruction, I am finally able to get new bras.  It seems that there are none available that are wireless, do not provide full coverage, and that come in colors, have lace, etc.   I have radiation burn damage from 12:00 to 3:00 on one side that will be fixed eventually, and had a 9:00 lumpectomy on the other - bilat clevage disfigurement.

Does anyone know who makes the pretty ones I used to wear.  Who would think that size is almost non-existant?  They make them for 8 year olds now.  With all of the surgery that is done these days. 

Thanks!

    I can't find any bras and have been fitted at several stores.  I know it sound ridiculous but I wear a 44 A so the only thing I can wear is a sports  bra or nothing.  Have you tried being fitted?  Hope you have better luck than I did.  I was fussing to my onc about not being able to wear a decent pretty bra and she told me so what, your alive.  So I figured i could live with sports bras, at least they make them in different colors and they don't cost much.

    If you have a smaller cup size and a wider back size, you may do better with a bralette rather then a bra.

    Nordstroms has a mastectomy fitter on staff, and they have great knowledge of bras for reconstructed women as well. The thing is, once you find one bra that works, buy 5 of them.
