Guide To Boston Bra Fittings
Once you've worn a bra that fits well, there's no going back. The girls are supported; you can look like you've lost a few pounds and what's more - your clothes fit better. As a woman who's been there, trying on 20 bras and leaving the store with nothing, it's nice to take the guessing game out of the experience. Just remember, don't get too hung up about sizes; your size will change depending on the bra company, and on what you want from your bra.
