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.

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.


"Bras are personal but also technical, ask a professional for help".

Where to shop for bra size 32-40 EFG?

Did you pick up your copy of the Washington Post Express this morning?


We love Fridays...because we are eager to read the "Style" section of the Washington Post Express...well guess what?....Coup de Foudre Lingerie is mentioned in this week end edition!


"Hollywood babes are both buxom and skinny ,and, while this combo is usually endowed by God, we must wonder where they buy bras. Brassieres with large cup sizes are rare, but Coup de Foudre Lingerie (1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW:202-393-9878) is joining the teeny club of shops carrying E-G cups in sizes 32-40. Prima Donna Bras are pretty (There's lace!), meaning ugly elastic contraptions can go to the back of the drawer"
