I stumbled upon an interview that Serafina had with Ellen Shing of Petite Lingerie shop Lula Lu, and I just knew I had to share this with all of our readers… Who says small isn’t beautiful? We sure don’t! Enjoy the interview on Serafina, I’ll be posting an excerpt for you right here:
“Don’t give up on finding a bra that works because it’s out there! Bras are like pants — they fit every body differently. If one style doesn’t work, move on to the next one. I always tell customers, “It’s not you, its the bra.â€
Play around with sizes; there is no standardization with bra sizing, even by manufacturer. The main thing is to pay attention to the fit and don’t worry so much about the size. One of my customers normally wears a 36A, but because the bra style she was buying ran very small in the cups, she fit the 36C the best.
One fit tip to remember is that cup sizing grows as the band gets larger. It matters that you get the correct band size, otherwise you’ll be swimming in the cups.”
