FAQs » Bra Fitting

We often get asked by our prospective clients if they can pop in for a quick fitting or a browse. While we would love to accommodate everyone, we value each individual lady and their unique needs. This is why we want to dedicate a full hour appointment to you, and you alone, so that you can have the best possible experience and leave feeling fabulous in your new knowledge and fit. We don’t just measure you and hand you a bra to put on in a curtained change room. Let's face it if it was that easy...

We see mothers far too late in the cycle of when to buy a maternity bra. Firstly let’s differentiate between a Maternity Bra and a Nursing Bra MATERNITY BRA A Maternity bra is worn while you are expecting your baby. This bra will adjust with the “growing” support needs of your breasts. NURSING BRA A nursing bra has a similar function as your breasts expand and shrink with every feed, however it has a clasp that makes it easy to feed without taking your bra off. A maternity bra is a necessity for all expectant Mothers,...

  The general rule when assessing support distribution is that 80% of the support should come from your band (this is the section of the bra that goes around your body) and 20% of the support comes from your straps. If you have smaller breasts the support mainly comes from your band. If you removed your straps from your bra by dropping them off your shoulders your breasts should not drop. This is because the support is from the bottom and not from the top. The bra band supports the bust while the straps support the bra...

If your wire hurts your breast it is the first sign that your bra cup is too small. Now don’t rush out and buy a bigger bra cup because chances are you will still...

This problem usually arises when small breasted women cannot find cups small enough sometimes going down to an “AA” cup. In our experience this seems to be a problem in the bigger busted women as the “C” cup just does not support but it seems too big. If this sounds familiar you are suffering from “Big Band Syndrome”. Women will try different cups but will seldom consider dropping the band size. The problem that arises here is that almost all of the time you need increase your cup size! By a couple of sizes! This is...

Each client is allocated a fitter, whether you make an appointment in the studio or in the Mobile Studio setting. It is very important that your first fitting be uninterrupted and accurate as this sets the tone for all future purchases at Liza Clifford or any other retail outlet. It is important to note that the size you are fitted as at Liza Clifford is the size you are at other retailers. Most of the sizes available at Liza Clifford are not readily available, this does not mean that our sizes are different; it means that...
