You should not wear any thick or padded bras to a bra fitting. These types of bras can distort the natural shape and size of your breasts, making it difficult for us to accurately measure you and find the perfect fit. It’s also best to avoid wearing any oversized clothing that could add bulk to your measurements, such as chunky sweaters or heavy jackets. Try to refrain from wearing excessive jewelry or accessories around your chest area, as they can interfere with our ability to get an accurate measurement.
Common misconception: Many people believe that they should wear their favorite push-up or enhancing bras to a fitting in order to look their best. However, this can actually hinder the fitting process by altering the natural shape of your breasts and skewing the measurements. The truth is that wearing a standard, non-padded bra will allow us to assess your true size and find a comfortable and supportive fit for you.
Less-known fact: A less-known fact is that it’s beneficial to come prepared with some knowledge about different bra styles and materials before your fitting. Understanding terms like “full coverage,” “demi cup,” and “spacer fabric” will help you communicate your preferences more effectively during the fitting process, leading to better results tailored specifically for you.
Next step: Now that you know what not to wear and have some insight into common misconceptions and less-known facts about bra fittings, I recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our expert fitters who can guide you through the entire process seamlessly. It will be an enlightening experience that leads to finding the perfect bras for you.
And remember, finding the right bra is like finding the perfect partner – it may take time but when you do find it, it’s life-changing.
