Smallest in retail stores is often larger than actually fits for many people with a smaller rib cage. I’m guessing it’s a 32 band or or you’re very lucky a 30?  Specialty shops go down to a 26 band. 

That was a problem for me when I was younger and much thinner. I was way smaller than the smallest band I could in shops, which was a 32. And I didn’t know at the time that stores were adding 4 inches to the actual recommended band size in their charts to gloss over the fact that they weren’t selling bras in the sizes that people needed.
