First time in my life I had so many options to choose from. I used to wear 34I, but after losing 15 lbs, my band is closer to 30 and I can’t fit in any of my bras. I’ve been looking everywhere. People looked at me as if I had two heads. I even drove 4 hrs to a store in Melbourne, found 1 bra. At least 1.
Googled bra fitting Orlando. This store was less than an hour away, in Maitland.
Irina, bra guru who works there, understood the assignment. In about 30 minutes she found over 10 bras that were my size. They have bras from everywhere, Canada, Uk, France, Poland, Latvia, Bulgaria.
It’s insane. Sizing is different across the board, so I was anywhere between 30K and 34GG.
She didn’t focus on sizes, just the proper fit. She made me test the bra, lift my arms, then touch the floor, then sit on the chair and touch one leg of the chair, then the other leg to see if the wire was digging into my armpit or not. If the bra was comfortable, I’d put a shirt on, and she would send me walking around the store for 3 minutes to make sure I had no red marks, no rubbing, no discomfort. She kept bringing more and more bras, until I had a tub full of bras that passed the test.
These bras are not cheap, but considering how much I paid for my bras in the past, they are very reasonable. From $60 to $115. I also found 1 bra on sale for $25.
I got two everyday bras, a sports bra, a lounge bra and a fun bra with matching panties.
It was easy and fun! Great experience!

Oh, and they moved.
They are still in the same plaza, but few doors to the left.

Thank you! I’ve updated the address.
La Bella has the Polish brand Kris Line, too. One of the few stores that carries them.
Thank you! I’ve added the additional category.
