A: This top is too big for me. I need a (smaller) one.
B: I’m sorry, this is the (smallest) size we have.
In the first sentence, the correct comparative form of the adjective «big» is «smaller» because we are comparing the size of the current top to the size of the one the speaker needs.
In the second sentence, the correct comparative form of the adjective «small» is «smallest» because we are comparing the size of the available tops and indicating that this one is the least big of all the available options.
