Hello Mamas,
About two weeks ago Kate and I were invited to an Open House at a store in Dartmouth Massachusetts called Fabulous Foundations By Nancy. When we arrived we were very impressed with the store's decor. It had beautiful built in cabinetry (Custom built by Nancy's Husband! Awwww!!) that housed bra's galore, matching undies and even some swimwear. In the center of the store was a beautiful chandelier, lots of comfortable places to sit and ample fitting rooms.
We introduced ourselves to Nancy and immediately sensed she had found her passion in life. Nancy had a 13 year old niece who was very large busted with no option. After researching places she relized there was nothing in this area for women with this problem. She decided to open a store that sized bra's 28 up to an N cup.
The Bra Whisperer of the south coast was born! She had a women leave crying for joy one day because she had found in Nancy's store a 48 H Bra and matching panties!!! She discovered Beautiful Bra's from European Companies. Nancy explained to us that "European women are different than American women when it comes to undergarments." "Lingerie is very important to them, they believe in the fit. Unlike American women who will think nothing about spending $400 on a dress and then running through Walmart and grabbing a bra that doesn't fit right."
Okay, by this point I couldn't wait to see what size I actually was and what it felt like to wear a Bra that fit right. So I took to the fitting rooms with one of Nancy's very knowledgeable sales associate. She measured me and brought me a few options. She showed me how to properly fill myself into a bra... lots of grabbing and pulling up!! hahaha!! But it works they were in the right place again!! Holla!!! When I had on my old Bra and I lifted my arms up I almost fell out of the bottom and when I sat down the underwire was hitting me almost around my waist! hahahaha!! Okay..... Are you ready......I went from a 36 C to a 34 E! HA! She explained that the band is 90% of the fit.
Fabulous Foundations By Nancy carries Bra's by Le Mystere, Fantasie to name a few. She also carries Swimwear that fits teens and women with tiny backs and full busts as well as big backs and big busts. Bra's with air and gel, bridal bra's and nursing bra's.
We really enjoyed our time with Nancy and her staff and so will you. We give her the Haute Mama seal of approval!!!
Nancy's Motto......
The right bra puts you in the right place again!!
Xo Kimberly, Kate and Christina
The Bra whisperer sounds like someone I could definitely use. I usually take my chances when I buy my bras and have relied on the measurements given to me last time I was at Victoria Secret's. A little sad I know!
