ONLY BUY IF YOU REALLY LOVE IT

SHOPPING online from the comfort of your home is tempting, but it can easily go wrong. To make sure you have a positive experience, do always first check online reviews of your chosen store.

It’s important to know your size and fit and to read the returns policy carefully — does the shop accept returns without fuss? Will you get a full refund? When you receive the items to try on, always wear them over your own undergarments.

In store, try to put yourself in a good or neutral frame of mind. Do not shop when you’re struggling with self-doubt or low self-esteem.

Try on a lot of bras. Even slight variations in wire, fabric and straps can affect how they fit and feel.

Crucially, don’t buy something unless you absolutely love it.
