Now that I am officially done with pumping...
WAHOO.....
my bra size has drastically changed.
After thinking that I have not really purchased myself a Bra in the last two years other than 3 very cheap Maternity Bras, I decided that I was ready for some support.
Either due to my changing breast size or bra's getting stretched out,
I completely felt unsupported and uncomfortable in my old bras.
Some were too loose, some rode up in the back, and some were just uncomfortable.
My bra's up to this point were just bought a Macys, or Khols- never spending more than $30 on a bra.
I decided that it was time to make an investment.
I reached out to some friends to see where they had gone to
1) Be fitted
2) And to invest in some good bra's
The two names that kept coming up with Nordstroms and Trousseau in Vienna.
After considering both options I decided to go with Troussea because
1) It had awesome reviews
2) It was closer to home
3) Their reviews were particularly good about actual bra fitting which is what I was the most interested in.
I woke up on Saturday and after putting Collin down for a nap at 1000- I headed out.
The reviews said that Saturday's are crazy busy so I was expecting to have to wait.
It is located in Vienna between Fairfax and Tysons on 123. It took me less than 15 minutes to get there. I walked in and was greeted by two women who asked in they could help me.
I said "Yes actually, I just stopped breastfeeding and none of my bra's are fitting me so I would like to be fitted and possible purchase 2-3 bra's."
I was shown to the dressing room by Karleigh who was awesome.
She first measured me- boy was I wearing the wrong size bras!!!
I was wearing to big of a band size and too small of a cup size.
After measuring me she asked what I preferred in a bra.
I request a demi molded cup bra.
I advised what colors I liked vs dislikes.
She returned in 5 minutes with 8 bras.
She then showed me how to adjust my breast tissue and also make sure it is on correctly.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
She was great about answering questions and never made me feel pressured to buy anything.
I was in and out in less than 30 minutes with 3 new amazing bras (all by Chantelle) that not only make me feel supported but also made me feel good about myself. I purchased two from the Essensia line and 1 from the Hendona line.
I hate bra shopping and it is one of my body parts that I would change if I could- yes we all those body parts that we hate.
The bra's ranged from 50-80 dollars on average.
Yes you might this this is a lot for a bra-
but it is amazing how much more comfortable and confident I feel in them.
Totally worth it.
I was home before Collin woke up for his nap.
I would totally recommend going here to be fitted even if you just learn how to fit yourself.
It was only 30 minutes in my day but left me feeling very happy!!~
