It’s fairly well documented on this blog that I’m pretty obsessed with lingerie (duh!). But it’s not all about pretty bows and eyelash lace – it’s so much more than that. I’m 100% in the ‘the perfect bra can change your life’ camp, and I’ll unashamedly and unapologetically chat all day long (or for two whole years to the interweb to anyone willing to read) about it. One of the founding posts which helped chisel and shape this blog into what it is today was my High Street Fitting Challenge. Written on the, it’s to this day one of my most popular and talked about blog posts. And here’s why I think that is. Most women in the UK – and across the World for that matter – hear about how important it is to go get fitted into your bras.
We hear, probably every time we enter Marks & Spencer for our weekly dose of Percy Pigs, that ‘80% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra’. But what about those of us who are ‘getting fitted’ but still not completely happy with how their lingerie fits and feels? Going from a 34D to a 28FF in Bravissimo’s Covent Garden store in 2009, I noticed an instant change in the lift, support and shape my bra was giving me. Despite the ‘increased’ cup size, my boobs looked smaller and more in proportion, with no gaping, double-boob, soreness or sag (I’d previously been rocking all the aforementioned all at once). Not only was I assisted into the ‘right’ bra, it was explained to me in a fair amount of depth just WHY it fitted me. The results, however, spoke for themselves. o, has anything changed in the past two years for women who get ‘fitted’ on the UK High Street? I took my blogger’s eye view to all of the top players, this time two years older and wiser, and with the expectations of thousands of blog readers sitting on my shoulders.witter
