INVENTORY
Yes. We have a variety of sizes for wireless bras. Our post-masectomy and lumpectomy bras are all pocketed and wireless also.
Yes, we have an ever-growing collection of different swimwear brands, with a focus on bra-sized styles. We carry one pieces, bikinis, tankinis, and swim cover-ups.
Currently, we go up to a US O / UK K in most band sizes.
We do, and we’re currently expanding our style variety in sports bras and nursing bras!
We do not carry the brand Spanx, BUT we do carry a collection of shapewear from other reputable brands.
We carry regular strapless bras from A-M cup in store. We do not carry a full range of bustiers or corsets. We can fit for sizing and suggest brands and/or styles to order or purchase based on the design/fabric/color of your formalwear. Please note that if a seamstress, tailor, or dress consultant is suggesting a longline, they're probably not aware of the limited sizing pertaining to longlines.
MAINTENANCE
Technically yes, but we advise against it! If you have a favorite bra then great! But do remember that your favorite bra will not last as long if you have no other bras in rotation...especially in between washes.
We have always believed that you need 7-10 bras, with 3-5 for everyday wear in rotation.
You should wash your bra every 2-3 wears depending on your personal hygiene and lifestyle. Remember a bra is considered underwear as well! Washing in the machine is fine as long as you use a mesh bag, gentle detergent and never use your drying machine (fine in a pinch but do know that the heat will break down the fibers and elasticity). Handwashing is usually the best recommended way to take care of your undergarments so they last you!
Our rule of thumb is a bra shouldn’t celebrate more than 2 anniversaries (unless you have dozens that rarely get worn in rotation).
No, that isn’t true. There is no scientific evidence that correlates the wearing of bras with wires (or any specific kind of bra) with breast cancer. Many different breast cancer organizations/outlets have all disproved that myth!
A bra size can change with every 8-10lbs of weight loss. You’ll be able to see or feel the difference in your bras and how they fit. Once you notice major fit issues is when you should get refitted. That includes your sports bras!
If you have any of these issues: Cup overflow - Cup under filled - Straps falling down even on it’s tightest adjustment - Backband rises up - Front center of bra doesn’t touch chestplate
