Fit to burst?

Wind, rain sleet and snow but still we are open after the Christmas break. Tricia as finally dried out from the Christmas excess and has managed tidy up the boutique and sort out the new window display. Despite being promised the new range from Prima Donna called Twist, we have yet to see it. We have our suspicions that those chaps from customs may be sporting the pretty spring collection.


Had an interesting phone call from a customer last night asking for fitting advice over the phone. Bit of a challenge to do a virtual fitting, we would always recommend that you do get a proper fitting at least once a year to make sure your lingerie purchases are perfect. But if you see the fitter getting out a tape measure it’s time to politely make your excuses and leave. Any good fitter will pretty much be able to get the right size for you by eye.

We’ve had many a woman who has been emotionally traumatised by a bad experience. Even when you’ve got the courage up to go and get fitted a shocking 80% of fittings from high street shops and department stores are right. A good fitter will never try and get you to fit the bra rather than get the bra to fit you.

Don’t get disheartened if a bra doesn’t suit you or doesn’t fit well. It’s just like trying on dresses, you will always get styles that just don’t work for you. It doesn’t mean you are a funny shape, you’re just not that shape.

Well that’s enough of the do goody bra expert malarkey, I’m off for a G&T.
