The last sentence of the above video is so true – “there’s no point in buying bras that don’t fit right.” If you’ve looked over our bra sizing guide but still want something a little more interactive, check out the Fit Matters feature from US department store Macy’s. On the Fit Matters page you can view a bra fit calculator, Q&A, helpful videos, and more. Remember: this isn’t as good as a proper bra fitting at a quality lingerie boutique! But it’s a great place to educate yourself about proper bra fit, which is something every woman needs to know.

b.tempt’d from Wacoal

TLP showed a little from b.tempt’d in February. Here is more news about the brand. It is a special offering from mega-brand Wacoal. It is aimed at a younger demographic with embellishments. The brand features a lot of skimpy knickers and sizes for 34AA to 36D. With Wacoal’s broad reach, this brand can be found at Macy’s in the US.

On the left is “The Flirt” with a push up bra for $45 and suspender knickers for $29. On the right is the “Demi Desire” with a demi contour brad for $40.00 and suspender thong for $20.00

On the left is the “Sheer Brilliance” in black, pink, or “naughty naked”. The push up bra is $43 and the thong is $19. On the right is the “Pretty and Witty” in baby blue or pink. The contour bra is $43 and the thong is $18.

B.tempt’d also offers plenty of knickers like these “Itsy Bitsy Thongs” in five colours for $12 a piece.

The “Teeny Weeny G-String” is in four colours and are $12.

Macy’s has many pieces from last season which may be going on sale soon. They are also running a promotion for a free knicker with purchases of b’tempt.d totaling $60 or more (probably a $12 value). Her Room also has a selection of b.tempt’d and offers some great closeups.

Way To Blow It, Macy’s!

I’m usually not one to be too critical when it comes to brands and their sizing. For some reason, I’ve never really felt like the lingerie brands were so wrong in their sizing, and I actually never really thought about it… At “A Slip of a Girl“, however, a blogger has quite a shocking story to share about the Jezebel lingerie being sold at Macy’s (also available at Figleaves). Here’s a small excerpt straight from “A Slip of a Girl“.

“She blushes and replies as best she can under the circumstances (retail supervisors at department stores are notorious for watching staff at any given moment — do well, get a Frango; do poorly, get written up), “Well, it’s made for younger… er, smaller, um, like for Junior customers.” A slip of a girl measuring the sizes at macysJunior my ass is what I am thinking. I know of no 16 year old who could fit in this stuff — big boobs or no. But I can’t terrify this poor clerk and say this to her. So I nod and go on my way. In my way out I pass through the children’s department. There on a 4-way is a collection of swimsuits (spring, remember?). I impulsively grab two bikinis, a size 7 and a size 12, and head back to intimates…

There I find the hidden corner of small smalls, and hold the size 7 child’s swimsuit up to the size Large women’s lingerie top, comparing (under) bustline to (under) bustline. Both garments have Lycra or other stretch so it’s a fair comparison. Held snugly, with enough tension to line the garments up and compare them I made my discovery: The size 7 is almost an inch and a half smaller. A full grown woman is supposed to be, at most, just 1 and 1/2 inches larger than a little girl who wears a size 7?

I swallow hard. I’m stunned. Hands shaking, I do the same with the size 12 … Holy crap, it’s one inch larger! The size 12 little girl’s swimsuit is one f****ng inch larger than a woman’s size Large.”

I just had to feature this, even though (and I want to stress this) I’m going to try and find out first hand on the next occasion… Feel free to do the same! 😉
