Why Get Fitted?

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our website!

I'm Liz Smith, the Director of Retail Services and National Spokesperson for Wacoal America. I'm the bra lady that you may have seen on television or may have read an article about in a magazine. I hope to give you the right information to help you build the best intimate apparel wardrobe that fits your lifestyle. A woman's bra wardrobe should be as well thought out as the one she wears over it.

Liz Smith. Wacoal America Spokesperson and National Fit Expert.

Let me give you some basic facts about your most intimate apparel. 8 out of 10 women are in the wrong size bra A bra should make you feel beautiful as well as enhance your wardrobe A properly fit bra should contain, support, lift, and shape, your bust as well as be comfortable. You should be professionally fitted for a bra once a year. You must try on a bra before you buy it. (Think shoes, don't you always try on a pair before you purchase?) Always wash bras and panties before you wear them for the first time.

Let's take a little quiz:

• Is your bra uncomfortable?
• Do your straps fall off your shoulders?
• Do the underwires poke or bother you?
• Does the back of your bra ride up?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are probably in the wrong size bra or the wrong garment for your figure type. We are all too busy to be bothered by the wrong bra. Take 15 minutes, go visit a Wacoal consultant at your favorite store (check out our store locator for a Wacoal retailer near you) and get measured.

Your bra size will change if:

• You gain or lose 5 - 7 lbs.
• You start or stop an exercise program
• Get pregnant or have just given birth
• Or if it has been more than one year since being measured.

I meet so many women who are amazed that a bra could be comfortable and beautiful. Wacoal spends a lot of time and energy making sure we give you the best garment possible. If you wear Wacoal, I hope you will take a look at our newest styles for this season. For those of you who are just learning about us - I can promise you one thing, once you wear a Wacoal bra, you will never wear anything else.

See you in the fitting room at a store near you!

Best wishes,

Liz Smith
