The Brazen Blog

Parfait is a brand our store loves to carry and customers love to wear! Their blog is full of fun stories and interviews like the one below; and inspired us to start a blog of our own! Last summer we were lucky enough to be featured, and we're so excited to share that interview with you in 4 parts. Parfait: Why is it important for women to get a professional bra fitting?   Christine:  Women’s bodies never really stop changing and I feel that is the most important reason to come in at least once or twice a year for a professional fitting.  A woman may gain or lose weight, she may be pregnant or have just given birth, or had a procedure, or is going through puberty or menopause, or so many other factors, and all these things can affect the size and style of bra that would be best for her.  Sometimes a style she has been wearing for years is no longer right for her body.  A professional fitting can diagnose and fix any bra issues she has been having.

Parfait: What about the lingerie industry interested you?   Chris
