SIPSEY LINGERIE BRA FITTING

The shop floor of Sipsey Lingerie

A while back I was invited to the launch of a brand new independent Lingerie shop in Solihull. It was a beautifully glamorous event with music, champagne and a lot of photos. You can read all about the opening night of Sipsey Lingerie here.


Fast forward a few weeks and I was invited to host a bra fitting party for me and a few friends. Unfortunately for one reason or another no one could really make it and our plans fell through. Although the party didn't go ahead I was still very eager to get my hands on some of the gorgeous pieces I eyed up at the launch and took myself down to Sipsey for a fitting. 

Some of the bra and pants sets for sale at Sipsey Lingerie

When I arrived at the shop it looked as beautiful as before and I was greeted by Sukhy the owner. I was taken straight into the changing rooms to be properly fitted, something I hadn't done in quite some time. It had been at least 4 years since I had last been fitted and to be honest it was well overdue. I'd been putting if off for a while as I didn't really think I had the time and I guess I was also quite embarrassed.

Before the fitting I was slightly nervous, I didn't remember the procedure and taking my top off in front of someone I barely know wasn't something I really do. Well I don't know what I was so worried about as Suhky was so friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable straight away. It didn't take very long either, the whole thing lasting maybe 10 minutes. As it turns out I was wearing the right size but did you know around 80% of women wear the wrong size bra?

The lingerie set I bought

After trying on some gorgeous bras I finally settled on a pretty little Gossard set shown in the last picture. It fits perfectly and it is unbelievably comfortable. Whilst trying it on I mentioned just how comfy it was and to my surprise I was told that was because it was a non wired bra. Never in my life have I known a bra without underwiring to hold me so securely and give me the lift of a push up bra. I also picked up a pair of matching briefs and to say I was happy with the set would be an understatement. The bra itself was £39 and the matching pants were £16 which honestly is more than I would usually pay, but I've never bought lingerie that was of such a high quality before.

I'm really glad I went to get fitted in the end as it confirmed I was wearing the right sized bra and I came away with the most beautiful lingerie set I've ever owned. If you live in or around Solihull I highly recommend a trip to Sipsey as I'm sure you will leave with some pretty little pieces. I just wanted to say that I am in no way sponsored by Sipsey, I was just really impressed by the store and I think its important to support smaller independent retailers.

  1. Glad to hear the experience went well (it's always a little nerve wracking isn't it, no matter how many times you get it done). I'm coming across more smaller, independent stores recently and the service and selection to be excellent. Glad to hear there's another one out there doing well x
