Why does it take 30 minutes for a bra fitting?

Customers sometimes wonder why it takes 20-30 minutes for a bra fitting. Well, the short answer is that we don't just measure. We try on different style, brand, size and determine the best fit, support and shape for your body. We will adjust on you every single bra from straps to band and will let you know why it fits or doesn't fit. You will try between 10-15 bras within your size range. Some customers come in with different concerns -sagging or uneaven breast (very common), straps digging or underwire poking- every one is different. We do our best to address your concerns and make sure you are happy with the fit and your purchase.

Simone Perele Merveille: Why we like it? This collection is stylishly bold and daring. We love the subtle animal print design. It's chic and classy which sometimes can be difficult when you mix animal print. We guarantee this one will sell out fast.

Simone Perele Tresor: Why we like it? We love the contrast of the light (Ivory) and dark (black). The pleats are also unusual.

From 38DD to 36H bra size: Yes, we see it all the time!

"A full busted women wearing the wrong bra size can do serious damage to her back and neck. A well fitting bra will alleviate the weight on your shoulder and improve your posture. If your straps are digging into your shoulders and leaving marks. try a smaller band size and a deeper cup"

FACT: 90% of the support of the bra comes from the band not the straps.
