FITTING BASICS

What happens during a fitting? It's all a very simple process. After taking into account your history and any problems that you need addressed, measurements are taken with your shirt off, your bra on. Measurements only get me into the ballpark for fitting you. You are measured around the upper chest, around the breasts and around the rib cage. These numbers draw a picture of your body shape along with giving me the numbers to calculate the cup size and band size. The shape of your breasts, the distance between them, and the amount of breast tissue under your arms help determine which style will work on you. Each bra style fits a different body type and since there is no standardization in sizing between styles or between bra manufacturers, you might wear a different size in each style you try on, and some styles will not fit your body type at all. All of my bras are sized in half-cup increments for better fitting, which is unheard of when you go to a store. So, if you are inbetween sizes, we can find you a better fit than you've been able to find. True cup sizes and sizes unavailable in stores (like cups going up to K) are what make our bras unique.

WHERE ARE YOUR BREASTS?

Where should your breasts be positioned? The APEX, or nipple line, is suppose to be located half way between your elbow and your shoulder when wearing a bra (or, approx. six inches down from the top of your shoulder). Why is that? It's because that's where manufacturers of clothing place the darts and design clothes to drape properly. (It's also where your breasts originally started from!) Bringing them up to where they are suppose to be means you will get your midriff back again, which will make you look thinnner! You will find your figure has more definition and your clothes will fit better as well.
