beneath it all vs bodacious

this all starts back in april before i had a blog

i hate bra shopping

i have had a lot of trouble finding a bra that would last for a while

i asked on facebook where people went bra shopping and where i should go

the consensus was beneath it all or bodacious

funny thing about it is that everyone that commented is on the other end of the spectrum then me: i have a broad rib cage and small boobs

i decided that i would try both and give a kind of review

well here it is

beneath it all

i went here first

i walked it and was the only one there

they measured me over my clothes

then went and found me some bras to try on

i was looking for something with no padding and one with padding, i usually don't have much trouble finding ones with padding, without is the problem

so she tries a couple

then someone comes into the store and i almost get forgotten

she comes to tell me that my only option is one with padding

i pick the most comfortable and buy it for-

$ 60.00

i am not used to that price

i am used to wearing sports bras or la senza when pregnant and bigger

so i ask how long a bra is supposed to last

if worn on a daily basis 4-6 months

she was right on that

the band stretched and the padding is squished at almost exactly 6 months

which was this month

so that leads us to.....

bodacious

so i walked in there

there was one other lady in there but two workers in there

the lady measured me with my clothes on, but got me to move my bra at certain points and my arms to get good measurement

she was also writing it down

i asked what happens to that paper

it gets put into the computer for later reference when you come in again

so she gets me a couple of bras

i let her know that i wanted an unpadded comfortable bra-still formed but no up lift

she bring one just to see

she now understands why i hate bra shopping and go and gets a bunch more

she checked every single one i put on and showed me how to "fluff"

we found one that fit IT FIT

i decided to challenge and say that i didn't really like the straps

(they had laced leaves lining them :( )

so she went hunting

and came back with like 6

out of those 6 2 fit....

so now i have a choice of 3 i tell you THREE bras

i have never experienced this without being pregnant

so i let them know which one i wanted and they said that was great

also that they would write the other ones down on my card for when i came back to know which ones fit me well....

i just about hugged her

i hate bra shopping and i had a good experience

i got the bra paid for by my mom for a birthday gift

it was the same price as the last one i bought ($60)

but i would have paid more myself for an experience like that

and probably will in the future...

good by la senza and any where else.

PS they have a referral program sooo if you want a card i got one for you
