Most of us T*'s claim that it is no problem to go shopping for us, but once in the shop suddenly it becomes more difficult then thought,if not impossible.
here are some suggestions:
I went into a lingerie shop in a busy shopping mall and said to the lady that I wanted to purchase a complete outfit: bra, slip and garder-belt. On her question "what size?" I answered :"er,.. it is for me".
She seemed to hesitate only a split second and started to discuss cup-sizes with me. I even went in on of the boothes and tried on one or two bras (well maybe not really, just tried if it went around the chest). We both agreed that a small size would be more natural, but the problem is that the bras with small cups are small around the chest too, and that is painful after some while. She then proposed something I had never thought off: take the small size bra (pushup bra french size 100 A/B) and lengthen the part where you close the bra in your back. She gave me some pieces of material identical to the one of the bra, with the little hooks already on it and I just hat to stitch them on and my new bra fits perfectlt, I can wear it for a whole day without problem.
By then I was completely relaxed and had some fun, especially when she asked me if I wanted a string or preffered to have "my back-side covered". She must have enjoyed it too, and I never had the impression she laughed at me, I felt I was treated as a women. Guess I have to go there again!
I left the shops a couple of hundred french francs poorer but with a fitting set of underwear and an interesting experience more.
what do you think about these proposals? Do you have any tips or interesiting experiences? Please tell me about it and I may add your input to this list: beatrice_fr@yahoo.com
