Sizing Across Brands - Do Your Homework! Wednesday, Oct 1 2008
Hi Ladies,
I would like to share a question that I received from Linda in Texas.
Linda called up Va Bien to ask about how its bras fit, since she wisely knows that most brands fit differently. For example, a 34D in Panache is going to fit differently from a 34D in Victoria’s Secret.
So when Linda considered Va Bien, she wanted some more information before ordering her bra - specifically the ultra-Lift Strapless Style 1506. In other brands she wears a 34DD, but upon learning that the cups of Va Bien’s strapless bra have a deeper projection than most brands (they are very ‘full’), she decided to try out a 34D.
Here’s the email that she sent me after she received the 34D:
I usually wear a 34DD and this is the first strapless bra that I have ever found that fits and won’t slip down. I did have to drop to a size 34D but it is perfect. I am about to go to your Internet site and order other styles. I am so excited!! Thank you.
Linda
So what’s the moral of the story? Do your homework when trying out a bra from a new brand. Find out how that brand - and the specific style that you’re interested in - fits compared to the brand that you usually wear.
All the best,
Marianne
