Family in Feast and Feria

This post is just for woman interest. Before today my blog was rated "G" but now I think I've lost my clean rating. ;-) Forgive the "commercial". I don't get any money, I don't sell this product, but I just had to share. Everyone is going to think I'm nuts for writing this. My comfort has definitely gone to my head!!

Eight years ago, shortly before my wedding, I heard from a friend about a woman who was nicknamed "The Bra Lady". I hosted a fitting party and was fitted for the first time in the most supportive and perfectly fitting support garments ever. They weren't gorgeous, but oh, did it change my outlook. My clothes fit better, I had better posture, no straps falling, no tugging, no cutting into my skin, no hanging out. I was in blissful comfort. Mary made a customer for life from that night.

Over the next eight years I've been fitted and refitted for all sorts of needs -- pregnancy, nursing, weddings, everyday wear. I've just been so pleased. The Custom Fitted Jeunique brand (formerly Colesce) has been wonderful for my needs. I have a small rib cage in proportion to my cup size, so most stores don't carry items that fit. And then pregnancy and nursing expands the chest area and require different size.

At 16 weeks, I've expanded and gone up 1 1/2 cup sizes. I outgrew my old bras and was wearing a maternity bra from last pregnancy (not from Mary). I was extremely uncomfortable and I wasn't supported. Today, I met with Mary and now I have relief! Support and comfort, and I'm modest again--another benefit of a properly fitting bra. And these garments should last the rest of pregnancy (with an expander) and into my post-partum nursing days.

All the bras can be used for nursing, since they have a drop down style. She also sells pregnancy support garments (one in lace, the other in cotton, very comfortable) and a post-partum (or surgery) support garment. They aren't inexpensive, but are very durable.

Custom fitting women for undergarments can become a mission. After finding comfort, I look around and see so many women who would use help in this area. The undergarments aren't just for the larger sizes, although those are the ones that find the most benefits.

If you're local (near Manassas), I highly recommend making an appointment with Mary. She will give you a private fitting, and usually she has all the types and sizes on hand so you can go home in comfort. She now only focuses on the support garments (both upper and below). The garments take some getting used to, as most people have never actually worn undergarments that are fitted properly. But it's for your good health and posture AND comfort to give it a try. Most of the women I know never go back.

Contact me if you want Mary's information (jennifergmillerspam@gmail.com--remove the spam). She has a generic website that shows many of the products, but I don't want to put up a link that could be considered "PG". Besides, if you're trying these garments, it's not for looks, it's for function.
