Bra Makeover

Here in the Dallas area, Bratique Helene offers a personal bra shopping service to our clients. As you know, when it comes to the full bust, its almost like one has to be or have been well-endowed herself in order to know our pain. Its akin to wanting a woman OB/midwife who has delivered a baby herself before she delivers your baby. I have witnessed countless lingerie sales people, in both large department stores and small boutiques, that don’t know their D’s from their G’s so to speak, which frustrates the full bust bra buyer.

The Before Bra. This woman is a standard small on the bottom, usually a size 6 and sometimes a size 4. She is not short in stature either, about 5 feet 5 inches tall. This terrible bra creates a bust mound – a real term that garment pattern drafting books use in reference to the bustline. We use it as a negative term, in that you don’t want a bust mound, you want a bustline.


Talk about lift!!! This is the deal: lifting the boobs creates a waist, which immediately makes you look slimmer. A bust mound is an eye catcher, people will definitely notice a pair of low and and large boobs, so go for it if that’s the effect you’re wanting. Overall her bustline looks closer to her body’s proportion. We call this a silhouette makeover. Try it, it works wonders and is a lot cheaper than surgery or pills. Just FYI, her size is 32GG.

We have clients that immediately say, “wow, I look smaller” when they have on a well fitting, supportive, and often times seamed bra.

Please contact us – Bratique Helene – if you need input and counsel on bras. And if you’re in the D/FW metroplex, call us and we’ll go shopping!!!
