Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if my bra is fitting me properly?
The best bras are designed to support you from the bottom of the bra (including the band around, the seam system and the cradles in the bra), rather than the straps on your shoulders. Your bra should not pinch the breast or bulge over the top of the cup. The strap on your back should sit slightly lower than the front and your shoulder straps should not be tight. If you are not sure if your bra fits, please visit the store and have our bra fitting experts fit you perfectly.
- How long should a bra last?
There are a number of factors that will determine how long your bra will last. How often you wash your bra, the detergents you wash it with, if it is laundered in a machine or by hand, how many bras you wear on a rotating basis etc. European bras are made to last much longer than a domestic bra and taken care of properly can give excellent support for years.
- Which brand of bras is the best?
Each European company makes a very unique shape and fit. Each woman is her own unique shape and fit. The best brand is the one that fits your shape and style perfectly. We can help you find the perfect bra for you.
- Do I need an underwire bra?
Your better bras are designed to support you from the bottom not from the shoulder straps. This includes your wire, the seam system on and around the cup and your band. By taking away one of the components, you reduce the support of your bra. I recommend always wearing an underwire bra everyday. If it is fitting properly you will find it extremely comfortable and stress reducing.
- Why should I pay $100.00 or more for a bra?
Better bras host a technologically superior design that gives optimum support in the finest fabrics. Many of these pieces are hand made using the finest laces from the best lace factories in the world. They last longer, they are better made, and they designed for a perfect fit and shape. If you have never purchased one, do so, and have it professionally fitted. You will see the difference immediately!
- Does my bathing suit have to look like a suit of armor if I have a larger bust?
No, definitely not. Come in to the store and try some on. We carry hard to fit sizes with cup sizes to G in the latest colours and styles of the season. You will have a hard time choosing which one to buy!
