Fitting Service

We understand that coming for a bra-fitting can be a daunting prospect, but please don’t worry. We will do our very best to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable. You will be brought into our fitting rooms, where you will be fitted a wearing your current bra (and don’t worry – we don’t care what it looks like). We fit by eye, we don’t use a measuring tape, so it will be a hands-off approach until we need to adjust your new bra.

We will bring you the bras that will suit your shape, size and of course your needs and preferences. You will never be rushed; we want to ensure that you are completely happy before you buy. 

You should aim to get fitted every 6 – 12 months. Weight fluctuation and hormones mean that our breasts can change rapidly, so getting the right fit will ensure maximum support and comfort.

A good quality bra will last 6 – 12 months. BUT - The lifespan of your bra will depend on a few things. Obviously the better you look after it, the longer it will last. Handwashing your bras is important as it will keep the elasticity and integrity. If you have a few bras that you are wearing in rotation, your bras will last longer, as they will have “rest days” Don’t forget that your bra can be doing some “heavy lifting”, so it won’t last forever. If your (previously comfortable) bra starts to feel uncomfortable, this can be a sign that it is time for it to retire!

Unfortunately, no! Bra sizes can vary with brand, style, material and even colour. This is why we don’t use a measuring tape instore, our motto is “it’s not about the size, it’s always about the fit.” If you use our 6S BFF as a guide, you will be able to get the perfect fit every time.

Your bras should be washed every few wears. It is really important to handwash your bras. This will preserve the integrity and elasticity of the bra and therefore extending the lifespan. We recommend Soak which is a rinse free wash, ideal for underwear. A washing machine, even on a gentle cycle can twist your bra, and cause damage to the wires (and if they pop out and get stuck in your machine – that’s a whole other disaster!) Do NOT use a tumble drier, the heat will cause damage to your bras. Hang your bra by the centre gore, or lay flat to dry, don’t hang by the straps or the band as the bra can stretch unevenly.

We absolutely do stock non-wired bras, but we often find that when a customer thinks that they cannot wear an underwired bra, it is because they have been wearing the wrong size. If a bra is the wrong size, the wire will generally be sitting in the wrong place, which will pinch, chafe, dig in, etc. Often by getting the right size and shape you will realise that an underwire is not the enemy and will usually offer more definition and support.

If you are planning to do sports, it is a really good idea to invest in a sports bra. A sports bra will offer extra support, so will help to reduce breast movement and prevent discomfort and possible damage to your breast tissue. Most sports bras will have breathable and/or moisture wicking materials, and the technology that is used to design them will help to prevent injury It’s important to note that a sports bra is NOT a light bralette, a piece of lycra with a sports symbol does not make something a sports bra.

There is no exact age when a girl should get fitted, as every person develops differently. Look out for signs instead,

• The breast tissue is beginning to form, or “bud”
• Your daughter is starting to express interest in getting a bra, or is starting to get a bit uncomfortable
• If she is playing sports and needs extra support

Getting fitted for a bra is a daunting prospect at any age, but we are only too aware that it can be even more so during those formative pre-teen/teen years, so please be aware that we will be incredibly sensitive this. Getting a young girl used to bra-fittings and knowing the signs of a proper fitting bra is a great gift which will last the, a lifetime.

We stock bras from an A cup, but please be aware that many people are surprised when they get fitted as they are far away from the size they originally thought they were!

There is no correct answer to this question as it will vary from person to person. For some people they will need to get fitted very early on as their breasts may have increased in size, and a bra that is too small will feel very uncomfortable, especially if the breasts are tender, so it’s important to listen to your body Some people will continue to increase in breast size throughout pregnancy, while others might not grow until the last few weeks. It’s a good idea to come and get fitted for a maternity bra at about week 36.
