Help Me I Can't Find the Underwear!

How important is Underwear? From the experience of a seamstress, it can completely change the way your cloths fit you. I have seen SO many women not need major alterations, by putting on a pair of SPANXS. Also lately brides have been coming in with corsets. While these will give you tiny waists, they flatten and push the breast up like cupcakes. This look is great for S&M, or a Medieval Bride, but contemporary designers give a rounder and fuller curve for the bust. When you re-shape the bust of a wedding dress that is covered with beads and embroidery, add another $50 to $200 to the price of your dress. Believe it or not the right bra or even bra cups can save you a lot of money. Most important to remember, bring the bra you are going to wear on THE DAY OF to your first alteration fitting. And don't forget the shoes.

We have stopped selling bras, only because you can go to Wal-mart and buy a very similar long line bra for under $15. We sold ours for $55, and David's Bridal has the same for $75. The other reason was, we felt that we could not carry enough styles to fit all the different needs of our clients. For many years we would refer our customers to Pennyrich Bra Shop. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. We have been looking for somewhere else to send our patrons, they must truly understand how to measure and find the cut to fit all shapes and cup sizes. If anyone who reads this has a suggestion about where to go in Tampa,FL PLEASE let me know.
