Welcome to our retailer-facing blog dedicated to helping you provide your customers with the best bra shopping experience. Below, we'll discuss the essential questions to ask consumers when they shop for a bra and highlight the significant impact of finding the right fit.
Questions to Ask the Consumer During a Bra Fitting:
What are you looking for today, an everyday bra or something for going out or working out?
What do you want the bra to do for you, such as extra support, minimizing or enhancing cleavage?
Do you prefer underwire or wireless bras?
When was the last time you were fit for a bra or went bra shopping?
What brand do you usually wear? Is it a UK or a US size they refer to from the brand?
How long have you been that size?
Do you find your dress and pant size has changed recently?
Do you wear a padded bra, a bra with seams, or a molded bra?
Do you experience any discomfort or pain while wearing your current bras?
Have you recently experienced any significant life changes that might affect your bra size?
Do you have any specific fabric preferences or sensitivities?
Do you want any specific styles, like balconette, plunge, or T-shirt bras?
Are you looking for matching underwear or other lingerie to go with the bra?
The Impact of the Correct Fit:
Finding the perfect bra fit can profoundly impact your customers' lives. Here's what a well-fitting bra can do:
Boost Confidence: A well-fitting bra can make your customers feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Health Benefits: Proper support can alleviate back and shoulder pain, reduce breast sagging, and contribute to overall breast health.
Clothing Fit: The right bra can make clothing fit better and create a smoother silhouette, enhancing the overall appearance.
Tips for a Successful Bra Shopping Experience:
To ensure a positive and enjoyable bra shopping experience, consider the following tips:
Get Professionally Fit: If possible, encourage your customers to get professionally fitted. Professional fitters have expertise in finding the right size and style.
Try on Multiple Sizes and Styles: I recommend trying on various sizes and styles to determine the most comfortable and flattering options.
Pay Attention to Comfort: Suggest that customers pay attention to how the bra feels, not just how it looks. Comfort is crucial for long-term wear.
Invest in Quality Bras: Emphasize the importance of investing in quality bras that provide the necessary support and comfort. Refer to our article "The Value of a Bra" for more information.
Measuring at Home: Customers can also measure themselves at home between fittings to monitor any size changes.
Regular Fittings: Remind customers that bra sizes can change over time, so regular fittings are essential for maintaining comfort and support.
Explore Different Brands: Mention that sizing can vary between brands, so exploring different options is worthwhile because various brands have different levels of support, shaping, style, and comfort.
By asking the right questions and highlighting the impact of a good fit, you can guide your customers toward making informed decisions and achieving the comfort and confidence they deserve during their bra shopping journey. Happy bra shopping!
