Real Experiences

Clare Lapping, 22 was a 36C True size 30GG

Clare

I'd never had a professional bra fitting. I'd just bought bras in 36C and imagined that was my size. I'd never really thought that the bras I was wearing might not actually fit me. Then a friend recommended me to Bravissimo...

"As a teenager, I'd always been quite insecure about my boobs and felt that my clothes never really looked right on me. It wasn't until I had my first proper fitting when I joined Bravissimo that I realised how much wearing the wrong bra size had contributed to how I felt about myself and how my clothes looked.

"The fitter talked me through how a bra should fit, and put me into a few different styles. She asked me to try on my top again over the bra and I was shocked - I could see the difference straightway. I just couldn't believe the difference in shape the bra had given me, the transformation was amazing!

"When the fitter told me I wasn't a 36C but a 30FF I was really shocked. I'd been wearing a bra which was too big in the back and too small in the cup for years, letting my shoulders take the strain. It's something I now know is one of the most common mistakes women make when buying bras.

Since then I've not looked back. I now love buying lingerie and looking at all the different styles available - my confidence has soared". Four years on, Clare is now a 30GG.

"Breasts change for all sorts of reasons over our lives, from weight variations and age, to pregnancy and the Pill. You may not be the same size for longer than a few months let alone a lifetime which is why it's important to always try on bras before you buy, just as you would a pair of shoes or jeans. We can show you how a good fitting bra should look and feel so you know yourself when trying on bras what to look for".
