The Huffington Post Christina Anderson agrees with us - 5 Things to make shopping for bras easier:
1. Work with a
professional bra fitter/specialist, with over 250 brands and
styles you need a experienced person to advise you on the right type for your
figure just like you would go to a lawyer for legal advice.
2. Buy your bra at a
small lingerie focus shop, you will find a staff that is more
likely to be experts. The main reason for ill fitting bra is that many women
are shopping in department shops that carry sizes to DD. There is definitely a
disconnect between the people who manufacture the bras and womens current
sizes...they have changed. Cups sized are up to N now and department stores
just don't carry that range.
3. Cups are not created
equal,
you must know
your back-size to cup size ratio to get the right fit. Even armed with this
information size within each type and style can be tricky because each
manufacturer has its own rules. So you must try bras in your size
range.
4. Invest in your bra, we have all purchased
the $20 bra (the bra that is not on sale for $20...it is $20), they won't last
or give proper support for long. Our best selling bra range in price from $40 -
$80....we also carry $25.00 bras. The difference in price is the material and
design. Remember your your bra is investment in the way you
look.
5. Hand wash your
bras, we believe the frequency of washing your bra depends on your
activity. We suggust at least two wears then wash in a lingerie wash and do not
wear your bra two days in a row. You must allow your band to go back to its
natural state (24 hour rest).
