2012 BRA-SOLUTIONS!

The following is a list of important issues that we work on solving at Bertha Church on a daily basis.

Get a proper bra fitting from a professional:

We recommend that all women get fitted at least once a year due to the fact that our bodies change shape all the time. Gravity is simply getting stronger as the days pass by! 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Make it a goal of yours to get out of that 85% and become knowledgeable on your body shape. Read more about the many ways that wearing the right size bra can benefit us all here!

Be open minded during your next bra fitting experience:

If you go to get fitted by a well trained professional, they should offer to spend one on one time with you to help enhance and simplify your shopping experience. Let them take care of you and bring you bras to try on. Go into the fitting with an open mind and be willing to try anything. Lingerie is this persons specialty and they have the ability to help you, take advantage of this.

When customers are closed minded to trying new things they are depriving themselves of getting the full experience that we strive to give everyone in some cases leaving them dissatisfied. An open minded customer is the most successful. If you don't try new things,you will never get new results.

Start wearing no panty line underwear when necessary:

How many of you notice when the lady next to you is wearing the wrong undergarments for the occasion? This problem occurs more than you think and yes, people around you are aware of it. There are too many solutions for this problem that it is unacceptable! Get yourself some seamless underwear to wear with tight fitted pants so you don't look as ridiculous as the person above.

Add a little color or fashion to your lingerie wardrobe:

Black and nude bras are basics and are essential to have, but too many women stick to these basics causing their lingerie wardrobe to be dull. Change up the game this year and splurge on some fashion bras that will make you feel good and are fun to show off to your friends.

Re-organize your lingerie drawer and keep it that way:

When my bras reach the end of their life, I tend to tuck them away in the back of my drawer instead of simply getting rid of them! This takes up half the drawer and makes it much harder to keep organized. GET RID OF THE BRAS AND PANTIES THAT DON'T FIT YOU! Say hello to new space in your drawer and utilize it appropriately.

Get a well fitted strapless bra and sports bra:

These are two types of bras that we find customers are amazed that we have in their size. If someone is a very small band size such as 28 or 30, or if someone is a larger cup size such as G or H, they usually assume that they do not make strapless bras in their size. Well now that would just be WRONG! Women of all sizes need to be able to have both and with the help of your local lingerie boutique, you should be able to find the right ones in order to suite your particular needs.

I've always had trouble purchasing a sports bra because I am somewhat dis-proportioned with a 34DDD. No S, M, L athletic bra works for these girls. No worries though, I have recently found out that a lot of the designers that make bras in my size carry sports bras too. This has made my life so much easier and my breasts no longer hit my face when I do high impact activity! Read more here to learn more about choosing the right sports bra.

Step your hosiery game up:

Purchase a good pair of hosiery, we recommend Spanx or Commando, and try it out. You will immediately be able to tell the difference between them and the old $5 pairs you are used to wearing and wonder why you didn't try them sooner. Better quality hosiery is more expensive, but completely worth it and you will thank me in the end. Also, branch out and try some patterned tights. These are a great addition to your wardrobe and can make your favorite outfits look like an entirely new one leaving you with the option to wear it more often without it being noticeable - that equals a girls dream right there!
