In my former life managing and buying for the best bra fit store in the world (in my humble opinion ;) ), I was asked to write an article about sport bras for a local fitness magazine. It was a wonderful opportunity to share my fitting expertise, as well as the knowledge I gained from working with women of all shapes and sizes, each with different athletic goals. Some of my clients practiced yoga, competed in crossfit, ran marathons- one lady participated in long-distance canoe races and needed something to last her three water-logged days! Listening to their needs (and personally testing any product that fit me!) taught me alot about sport bras.
Writing this got me to thinking about all the other unique bra and foundation situations I dealt with everyday. There are still so many misconceptions about bras- what the different types are supposed to do, how they are supposed to fit, how long they should last… I realized there were many more articles to write, such as:
-How long should a bra last- and what makes it die?
-Bra sizing- why is it so confusing?
-Men did not design bras to torture women.
-Wire vs. Non-wire.
-Molded bras- or solving the fear of headlights.
-When and why should I wear a bustier underneath my wedding dress?
-Shapewear- what, when, where, how!
... and more! I’ll be sharing my thoughts on these subjects in the coming weeks, along with my other ramblings. I hope you’ll laugh as well as learn a little something useful!
