If you want small oval tinsel then you should try the Largartun Tinsel. It comes in a range of sizes, the extra small would even suit down to a 16-18.

I'm sure you can get them in various places but I have always bought from here-

UNI do a french oval tinsel in extra small that is suited to size 14's, available in gold or silver, they also do a french embossed suitable for size 12's, I am placing an order tomorrow and should get before end of week, will order a couple of each colour and send one of each down to see if it is what you are looking for if not, no worries will use myself.
