ARE YOU WEARING THE RIGHT BRA SIZE? FIND OUT VIA THIS FREE SERVICE

Marks & Spencer invites women to a fitting in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

-

Time and time again, we’re reminded that nothing remains constant—not even our bra sizes. Marks & Spencer has launched its bra fit campaign to remind customers to come in for a free fitting. Available in Marks & Spencer stores all year-round, the Bra Fit Service gives women the chance to update their undergarme­nt wardrobe with properly sized bras and flattering cuts, while kicking off the habit of getting fitted regularly.

In time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Marks & Spencer has partnered with Icanserve Foundation, a Philippine-based nongovernm­ent organizati­on that promotes early breast cancer detection, and access to accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Until Oct. 31, everyone is invited to be involved as Marks & Spencer will take 15 percent off all bra styles, and when customers make a P50 donation to the Icanserve Foundation instore, they’ll receive 20 percent off from purchases made in the same category.

Marks & Spencer was the first UK high street retailer to launch post-surgery lingerie. The style was designed for women who have undergone a mastectomy. The thoughtful design means maximum comfort with super soft fabrics and straps and dual cotton pockets to discreetly but firmly hold prosthesis in place.

“A good-fitting bra will help your posture, give you confidence in your outerwear, and even make you look slimmer and discover your waist again,” says Marks & Spencer lingerie expert Julia Mercer.

Mercer stresses that finding the right bra starts with a correct-size underband. Women should only have enough space to get two fingers under their bra’s band when worn.

However, finding the ideal fit once is not a long-term guarantee.

“Your breast shape can change, when you gain or lose weight. Therefore it is imperative that you are fitted by a fully trained bra fit expert to ensure you are wearing the right size bra,” Mercer explains. It is recommende­d that women get remeasured every six to 12 months.

Marks & Spencer’s specialist­s are trained to provide nononsense assistance in tracking down every customer’s perfect match—regardless of size, shape or occasion—from the brand’s extensive roster of undergarme­nts.
