8 Tips to Make Bra Shopping a Smashing Success
Maximize Your Bra Shopping Experience at The Perky Lady
We’re so excited you’re here, and we can’t wait to make sure your bra shopping experience is fabulous, fun, and totally stress-free. Whether this is your first fitting or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ve put together some essential tips to help you get the most out of your visit to The Perky Lady.
1. Trust the Process—We’ve Got You Covered! 🛋️
At The Perky Lady, we believe bra shopping should be empowering and fun, but we know it can also feel a bit overwhelming. That’s why our expert stylists are here to guide you every step of the way. We ask that you come with an open mind, ready to try on new styles, and trust that we’ll help you find the perfect pieces.
Reminder: Your stylist is an expert, but ultimately, you know what feels best. We’ll provide recommendations, but the final decision is always in your hands!
2. Come Fresh & Clean with Minimal Jewelry 🌸
To ensure a comfortable and hygienic fitting experience for both you and your stylist, we ask that you come to your appointment fresh and clean, with minimal jewelry. This helps us focus on fit and style without any distractions.
If you’re post-surgery, sunburned, or have healing wounds (even if they’re bandaged), we kindly ask that you reschedule your appointment until you’re fully healed and cleared by your doctor. We want you to feel your best, and that means coming to your fitting when you're comfortable, healthy, and ready!
3. Bring Any Special Outfits💃
If you’re shopping for a specific outfit—whether it’s a wedding dress, date night look, or something else—bring it along! This helps us find the perfect bra to complement your outfit.
Breast prosthesis wearers: Please bring your prosthesis with you. Our stylists will ensure your bras fit perfectly around your needs, so you leave feeling both confident and supported.
4. Be Positive and Open-Minded 💫
When you come in for your fitting, positivity is key! We want you to feel comfortable trying different styles and stepping out of your comfort zone. Who knows? You might fall in love with something you didn’t expect.
Our goal is to help you find bras that make you feel fabulous and empowered—but keep in mind, lingerie shopping is all about exploration. Don’t be afraid to experiment and trust our team to guide you through the process. We’re here to support you every step of the way, but the choice is always yours. So bring that fabulous attitude, and let’s have some fun!
5. Wear the Right Outfit for Fitting Day 👗
On fitting day, wearing the right outfit is essential. Opt for something easy to slip on and off and indicative of your wardrobe so you can see how each bra looks under your clothes. This makes it easier to visualize how different styles will work with your wardrobe.
Pro Tip: Ideally if you are shopping for a special occasion, like a wedding, it is ideal to shop for your underthings before making a final purchase and before alterations. However, if you are past that point, bring the outfit with you! We’ll help you find the perfect solution to make you look your best!
6. You Take the Lead on Your Final Choices 🎯
While our stylists are experts in fit and fashion, the ultimate decision is yours. We’ll guide you, offer recommendations, and help you navigate different styles, but we trust you to make the choice that feels right for you. Your comfort and confidence come first!
7. Take Care of Your Beautiful Pieces 🧺
Once you’ve found the perfect bras, it’s time to give them the love they deserve! Hand wash your bras with a lingerie specific wash in a clean sink or basic, and always air-dry them. NEVER put your delicates in the washer or dryer - no matter the cycle. Taking care of your lingerie ensures it stays beautiful, fits comfortably, and lasts much longer.
Why it’s important: Investing in quality pieces means treating them well. This way, you can enjoy them wear after wear!
8. Regular Bra Shopping & Refreshing💖
If you want the best fit and lasting comfort, shopping with expert guidance should be your main approach for most of your bra purchases.
Having a personal stylist who knows your body and preferences can save you so much time, money, and effort. Plus, the right fit from the start means fewer returns, more comfort, and more confidence every day. We’ve seen the difference it makes, and trust us, once you experience it, there’s no going back.
One thing to remember: Just because you’ve been "fit by an expert" doesn’t mean you can take that size and replicate the same success elsewhere. Sizing varies between brands and styles, and there’s so much more to a perfect fit than just a number. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you only need to come back when you “need a size”—the magic is in the experience, not just the measurement.
Shopping with us is about so much more than finding a size—it’s about finding styles that work for you, with personalized recommendations you can’t get from a simple size chart.
And as your bras reach the end of their lifespan or your body changes, so should your bras. That’s why we recommend checking in every 6 months to a year, especially after changes like weight fluctuation, pregnancy, or surgery. Regular visits keep your collection fresh and ensure you’re always feeling fabulous.
