Finding Comfort & Support at

CONEYS DEPARTMENT STORE, SPALDING

A professional bra fitting from a team combining expertise and empathy, calmness and knowledge will result in you looking and feeling better than ever before...

Finding a well-fitting bra isn’t just a matter of style. It can help you achieve a better look and feel, but it also alleviates any potential discomfort associated with an ill-fitting one. According to Harpers Bazaar, over 80% of women are still wearing the wrong-sized bra despite being – sometimes painfully – aware of the irritation that an ill-fitting bra can often cause. Coneys Department Store can provide a personal, calm, friendly and empathetic professional fitting service, and that’s why the store’s womenswear team has created one of the best places in the area to find a proper professional fitting service. “A bad fitting service would fail customers, and some womens’ bodies vary often in size and shape due to diet, menopause and so on. So, even those who have experienced a decent fitting should check their sizing at least once a year.” “We do use tape measures, but we fit by eye. You have a rough idea of what looks right on you by the way it feels, but someone needs to stand back and walk right around you to really assess whether your bra fits correctly. It’s something done best by eye and by experience, not by a tape measure or an online video.” “Even between manufacturers, sizes vary just like any other item of clothing, so buying a bra online is so hit and miss. There really is only one way to go, and that’s with a professional fitting service like the one we offer.” “We tend to recommend a nude bra, a black one, and a pretty design, perhaps a strapless design too.” “We also stock many ranges from a number of manufacturers like Fantasie, Freya, Wacoal, Triumph, Pretty Polly and Pour Moir, including Royce specialist mastectomy wear. All of our brands are chosen for their quality and comfort. They’re tried and trusted.” “The internet is awash with advice but in reality, every body is different. It’s common to find people opting for bigger back sizes and smaller cup sizes. In fact, doing the opposite – opting for a smaller back and bigger cup – will prove more comfortable.” “Much of the support in a bra comes from the underband not the straps, so it should sit around the ribcage, level at front and back. There should be no squashing or bulging, and the back clasp should be flush against your back with just two fingers worth of space behind it.” “Comfort isn’t a luxury; it’s a must. When we fit a customer, they’re usually overwhelmed by how much more comfortable they feel and surprised how a well-fitting bra can improve posture and appearance. That’s what makes the job so rewarding, so please do come in for some free advice or a no obligation fitting from our friendly team!” n
