Lingerie Epiphany

I have written before about the misconception of the word "petite." But here we go again: petite refers to a person who is 5'4" or shorter. Petite does not mean skinny or slim or small boned; it means short!

A petite client expressed a recent revelation: petite bras! These are for women who are small in stature and wear a size A or B cup. They are cut and designed especially for petite women. This client was over the moon to find bras that finally fit her properly. I think she sent the lingerie salesperson a gift!

This goes the other way, too! If you are athletic and taller, and are not incredibly well endowed...often the bras that "fit" around the chest, do NOT have long enough straps! How frustrating, indeed....
