Schedule your FREE Bra Fitting Appointment today!:
Appointments for a bra fitting experience are not required but recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday. A fitting takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, so please allow additional time if you have special needs. The last fitting appointment is at 5:30PM. Bra fitting is complimentary. Please note: There will be no bra fitting appointments scheduled on Valentine's day.
Why does it take 30 minutes for a bra fitting:
Customers sometimes wonder why it takes 20-30 minutes for a bra fitting. Well, the short answer is that we don't just measure: we try on different styles, brands, sizes and determine the best fit, support and shape for your body. We will adjust on you every single bra from straps to band and will let you know why it fits or doesn't fit. You will try between 10-15 bras within your size range. This process is designed to address the range of concerns that face our customers: sagging or uneven breast (very common),red marks, straps digging or underwire poking. We do our best to address your concerns and make sure you are happy with the fit and your purchase.
Demystifying the bra fitting experience:
Are you reluctant to go for a bra fitting because you think you will have to be topless in the fitting room? Fear not, we will never ask you to go topless at any moment. We usually gage cup size after trying on a few bras so no need to take it off! There is nothing to feel embarrassed about! So, don’t be shy and schedule your bra fitting appointment today and see how wearing the right sized bra can improve the way you look and feel.
A Bra that fit perfectly can make a real difference to your shape and comfort. Our fully trained bra fitters can help you find the right bras for every part of your life. Visit our store and enjoy a personalized bra fitting and see for yourself how the right bra can change the way you look and feel. Our professional bra fit experts are specially trained to determine your correct bra size and recommend the most flattering bra style for you!

The right bra can greatly improve the way your shape, lifting your bust, eliminating bumps and ridges under your clothes and improving your posture, yet according to a recent survey eight out of 10 women are wearing bras that don’t fit. A badly fitting bra can be very uncomfortable too. Straps that dig in and underwires in the wrong position can cause discomfort and soreness: a bra that’s too tight makes you more likely to hunch your body which can exacerbate back pain

Breast size and shape change over time too- especially in your teens and twenties, during and after pregnancy and at the menopause, and most of us gain and lose weight periodically



From Tim Gunn's Guide to style, TLC's What Not to Wear to the Oprah Winfrey show, the importance of bra fitting has been extensively mentioned in the media. "Undergarments are the most important part of dressing. They are the foundation on which a good outfit is built on" says Tim Gunn.

PERFECT FIT CHECKLIST

  • A good fitting bra should be comfortable and breasts should be supported by the body of the bra, not the straps. As every woman's figure has individual differences we recommend the following checklist to ensure your bra fits properly.
  • The back of the bra should lay straight across the back and should never ride up the back. If a band rides up you are not being properly supported.
  • The front center of the bra should lay flat against the body.
  • Cups should never gap or wrinkle anywhere and breasts should never spill out or bulge over the cup.
  • Most importantly, the underwire of the bra should rest just under and around the breast, the wire should never rest on breast tissue even at the sides.
  • Straps should have some tensions but should never fall or dig into your shoulders.
