10 Things your Victoria Secret Bra Specialist Wants You to Know

Victoria Secret is one of the most popular lingerie brands and sells more bras than any other lingerie company. We are also dedicated to finding your perfect fit. Bra Specialists at Victoria Secret have been trained in order to be able to help you and find your perfect fit for you, seeing that the majority of women wear the wrong bra size. I am here to help you. However, you, the shopper, could also help me. Here are 10 things that I as a Victoria Secret Bra Specialist, would like you to know.

1. Please don't tell me that you are "just looking"

When someone walks into a lingirie store, the majority of the time, they are not just browsing. Either you need a new bra to go with this new outfit you want to wear, you want to shop promotions, or you are in need of a new bra for whatever reason, nine times out of ten, you are in the store for a purpose. I am a bra specialist. It is my job to help you navigate the drawers and direct you to the exact style that you are needing. Utilize me, I really want to help you.

2. I have been trained to help you find the perfect fit.

Every time I work, I will measure someone and have them give me a blank stare about the size I tell them, until they try on the bra, and realize how much more comfortable the new size is. Victoria Secret as the completely incorrect reputation that we size everyone into a D. We want you to be in the perfect size for your body. Trust us, 85 percent of women wear the wrong bra size. Let us measure you and give you the perfect fit.

3. Cup Sizes are not Universal

If you come into the store wearing a 32D and I measure you as a 36 chest size, your cup size will go down. The D cup for 32 is drastically smaller than the D cup for a 36. Try on the new size, and see for yourself how much more comfortable you will be. The only thing that matters about size is that it fits you, not how it sounds or looks. You may be a much bigger or smaller cup size than you assumed. Try it on and then we can discuss how it fits your unique shape.

4. Sister Sizes

If you go down a band size, you must go up a cup size. This is called a sister size, and the sizes for the band and cup will be very similar. If you are in love with a color but we are out of your measured size, lets check for your sister size. Chances are, it will fit you just as great. As an example, if you wear a 32B your sister size will be a 34A.

5. Please don't rummage over the tops of the Panty Bar

Every night, we delicately fold and color coordinate the panties displayed on the tops of each panty bar. This takes hours and can be very frustrating. Every panty on the top of this bar is a size medium, so there is no reason to go through the stack looking for sizes. If you wear a medium, and we have a color you like, check the drawer first because chances are that color is available in your drawer and we do not need to touch the tops. The top of the panty bar is to serve as a display to make shopping better and easier for you. Utilize the drawers, and leave the tops to serve their purpose as a display.


6. Do not be embarrassed to talk about your fit issues, or breasts in general

I have heard and seen it all when it comes to women's bodies. Do not be embarrassed to talk to me. What you may think is completely embarrassing, is probably nothing compared to the things I have heard. I do not judge, I am just here to help you get what you need. I can only do that if you share with me your story. Most of the time I have to ask a variety of questions to get you to open up to me about your needs. I am here to help you, and it is just as fulfilling to me to see you leave the store comfortable and happy as it is for you.

7. The majority of your support comes from the band, not the cup.

I want your band to be nice and snug around your back. No, it should not be squeezing you so tightly that you are uncomfortable, but in order for it to do its job, it needs to be snug and lying flat. If the band rides up, it is too small and cannot do its job. Likewise, if it is too loose it cannot do it's job either.

8. You need a bra fitting every six months.

Hormones, weight gain or loss, gravity, etc. all have a strong affect on your bra size. These things are changing constantly, and can make your bra size change about every six months. Sometimes your bra size will not change over this span of time, but you need a fitting to make sure as often times your size does change.

9. Please try to remember the name of your Bra Specialst

Just like in every job, measuring success is the key to ensure that you are doing your job right. If I help more women get a new bra that they love, then I know that I am doing my job well, and helping you out to the best of my ability. If you forget to say my name, then my success is not accurately measured. The amount of customers I was able to help, is a large portion of feedback from my customrs. It allows me to make adjustments in order to help you out and better serve your needs if my numbers were low on one particular day. By remembering my name you are giving me feedback on my ability to help you.

10. Give us feedback

If we give you a bra to try on that you don't like, please tell me why so that I can find you something better. My goal is to make sure your needs are met so please provide feedback. The more you share with me, the more I can help you.

I hope to see you at Victoria's Secret soon! Come in and Ill be happy to find you your perfect fit.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.
