The last Friday in September, I had the pleasure of attending a fall trunk show at Bra-vo Intimates in Royal Oak, Michigan. This is an excellent week long promotion for Bra-vo clients to pre-order everything from lingerie to swim to our clothing line - Bratique Helene for women with large breasts and misses sized bodies!
Bra-vo's owner is the wonderful Rebecca Aughton, a lingerie industry veteran and master bra fitter. In addition to its urban location, hardwood floors, and resident cat, my favorite section of the store is the bra alcove. Lots of goodies I wanted to get my hands on. And on one of the many sample racks I saw a Freya bustier - Nadia - that I'm excited to see in stores.
As I worked with the Bra-vo staff that day I heard them say, "There is no normal size. Women come in all sizes & shapes, just like snowflakes." All they talk about is fit, fit, fit and I knew I was in good company when looking at a new bra that had just arrived Rebecca briefly inspected it and said, "Looks like jiggle to me", meaning she thought the fabrication wouldn't offer strong support.
Bra-vo stocks Rosa Faia, Prima Donna, and Simone Perel in addition to the standard full bust brands Freya, Fantasie, Panache, etc. Every woman who emerged from the dressing room(s) had more than just one bra in her hands. If you are in the Detroit vicinity and need a bra intervention or update, the place to go is Bra-vo!
