First Bra Fittings
HOW TO BUY YOUR DAUGHTER HER FIRST BRA
Intimo Stylists have been fitting, supporting and servicing women of all ages to feel comfortable and confident in their lingerie for nearly 30 years.
No fitting experience is more formative than the first bra fitting, which is why it is so vital that it feel safe and be conducted professionally to build confidence in young girls. This first foray is impactful in the progression from young girl to teenager, to woman; not only in a physical sense of providing comfortable and well-fitting bras to support a growing body, but also in education around breast health and overwhelmingly in a young woman’s growing relationship to her body, confidence and emerging style.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR FIRST BRA FITTING?
There’s no right age for a first bra fitting however between the ages of 8-14 can be used as a general guide, alongside physical and emotional indicators such as: physical breast development, discomfort or growing pains, requirement of support when playing sport or a desire for modesty with extra coverage.
WHERE DOES A FIRST BRA FITTING TAKE PLACE?
Through years of experience in first bra fittings, Intimo understand the importance of the physical space itself in emphasising a non-intimidating, comfortable and ultimately enjoyable experience. For this reason fittings can be conducted in one of our private studio spaces, or virtually in the comfort of your own home.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A FIRST BRA FITTING?
Equipping her with the a personalised bra capsule of styles, at first bra fitting Intimo Stylists measure to assess size, make recommendations based on her lifestyle needs and educate around how to take care of bras, the importance of breast health and signs you’re due to return for a re-fit.
