Hottest New Spring Lingerie Looks
Hi everyone,
Did you know 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size? I used to skimp when it came to bras, but the constant adjusting and elastic digging into my sides has made me think twice. It's definitely worth spending a little more on a bra that's both comfortable and sexy. People start to stare when you mess with your underwire too much.
I was never properly measured and never knew those services existed at Nordstrom. I was curious to know what my proper bra size was, so I headed on over. Nordstrom lingerie was like a candy store–so many colors, shapes, sizes. I was really impressed.
My Fairy Bra Mother came over with a measuring tape, made me feel very comfortable, walked me through the process. She measured me and found out that I have been wearing the wrong bra size. I was shocked and blown away that I been wearing a bra that was two cup sizes off.
Most lingerie brands don't carry a wide range of bra sizes, but Nordstrom does: Low A to GG. I tried out my favorite styles and colors in an intimate dressing room area that reminded me of a chic bedroom. Now I've got bras that fit perfectly, and I never knew what I was missing.
Ladies, I really recommend getting your bra size measured. It will change your posture and help you feel better.
So head over to the Nordstrom Frill Seekers event.
You and your girlfriends are invited to a fun lingerie event at Nordstrom, where you can check out the hottest new looks for spring with the help of your own lingerie stylist. Whether you're looking for romantic, flirty, seductive or a little of everything–Nordstrom lingerie stylists are specially trained to find your perfect size in the styles that make you look great and feel confident.
Even better, for every bra purchased from a participating brand at Nordstrom Frill Seekers events, $2 is donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Nordstrom is proud to make a combined minimum contribution in 2012 of $200,000 to Komen for the Cure® through these events and select Komen Race for the Cure sponsorships.
How great is that? You can find some great new bras for yourself and help find a cure for breast cancer.
The Nordstrom Frill Seekers event is Friday and Saturday, April 20-21. Don't miss it!
Have you ever been fitted for a bra before?

I love bras that have floral patterns and lace. I love polka dots too. I usually like bras that are lightly lined. Sometimes I wear push bras if I feel I need more lift. I have been fitted for a bra at Victorias Secret Pink, but it was not very accurate. -

You look super cute in the bright spring colors!
Never been fitted for a bra actually.
Might try it next time I head to the big city. Thanks for the advice Michelle! <3

I've never been measured but I feel like I'm wearing the right size, I am a little curious to see if I'm wearing the correct size though

2 things that should never ever fit wrongly: a bra and your shoes. It pays to pay a little bit more to feel really good in both of them. Belive me, when an underwire bra cut me until I bled (they put in an unprotected wire, so the wire cut the seem and my skin to boot all in 3 hours), it spoiled not only a day ...

Me Too. I just wore bras that look pretty. i NEVER minded the SIZE :))

I've been fitted for right size bra when i was 13. at that age you will be fitted to teenage bra which comes in assorted colors and patterns. Then, at the age of 16, again you'll be fitted to a perfect bra size.
A perfect size bra will make you comfortable and looks like you've been gone for a surgery...

this post is a good one! :)
plus right size bra could make your twins look and stay younger looking because of good support :)

When I first grew into a real size, my mom took me to Victoria's Secret JUST for a fitting since most stores don't. After they did my fitting, we took the measurements and went to cheaper places for bras. Anywhere has a range of sizes but some have them marked differently so it's good to get actual measurements so you can take them and find a good sizing with any bra and store.

I feel bad now...I can't afford one decent bra. Most of mine are hand-me-downs or thrifted bras that I've had for years. I want bras that don't hurt. Stupid rich people...gotta ruin everything by making stuff too expensive.

They are cute bras. The lingerie shops in my town have the worst sale stuff. They wouldn't be able to even size themselves.

OMG SHUT UP ABOUT PLANNED PARTENTHOOD!!!!! You all sound like a bunch of republicans. Makin up stuff and believing rumors. It's our GOVERMENT that does things behind the scenes. I love Planned Parenthood they stand up against those nasty republicans. I rather have my birth control for my cyst on my ovaries that is cheap,than me not be fertile. Planned Parenthood this,or that.Government pays big companies like that to do bad things. WELCOME TO AMERICA!!! NOT the land of the free...

No i have never been fitted for a bra. I think I definitely should since my chest size runs pretty small and sometimes have issues of finding ones that fit me well. Especially since I'm uneven. =(
I am always hesitant about these % of proceeds benefit X deals. Do you know exactly which fund the organization is going to use the profits towards? I'd prefer to go directly to the cause rather than overhead. It's always a bit tricky and not blatantly stated when marketed/promoted.

I used to work at a lingerie store for several years. I was wearing two cup sizes too small and a band too big.. Ladies if you do know your bra size and the store doesnt have your exact size, try going up one cup size and down two in the band size. soo a 38A, 36B, 34C, 32D.. or vise versa 32DD, 34D, 36C, 38B, 40A.

:( I'm too embarrassed to go measure professionally because I'm so small and tiny. I'm probably an A, or worse... T_T

To everyone talking about planned parenthood. I heard this last night on the radio. It's called Planned Parenthoods "plan" For You.
1. Give you the lowest ranked condom
2. Give you bad birth control that they know doesn't work and has been linked to breast cancer
3. Provide abortion for you since all those other things didn't work.
This lady on the radio last night (I don't know who it was because I started listening after they introduced her and where she was from) also said when she was pregnant with her son she had gone in to 3 planned parenthood locations to ask for a recomendation for an OBGYN since she had just moved. None of those 3 locations could give her any information on local OBGYN's, prenatal vitamins, etc. So, if you go in there, really the only information they can give you is about abortion. They can't help you find people if you want to actually raise your baby or give it up for adoption.

For those who are complaining about Planned Parent Hood, did you know that 7 of them in the United States allowed Sex Trafficing? Look it up. I just found out about it last night. While Planned Parent Hood has helped out a lot of women, there's also a lot of negative things that has gone on behind the scenes against the law.
Anyway, thanks for the post Michelle! The "My Fairy Bra Mother" comment made me giggle.
