FROM BUST TO BRIM, THE PERFECT FIT COMES DOWN TO YOUR SHAPE.
Welcome to our Real Women series, where we spotlight admirable everyday women from various professions and walks of life to understand their unique bra needs and perspectives. We’re excited to continue the conversation with some surprising fit tips from an expert hat shop owner. It turns out bras and hats have much more in common than we realized!
MEET LINDA
Artist, hat enthusiast, and owner of The Hat Shop NYC in Soho Village.
HER DAYS
Linda spends her workdays fitting customers for hats in her Soho Village shop, but her knowledge goes beyond just the brim. “When I am selling hats in my shop or fitting people in my shop, I tell them that hat size is a lot like breasts and bras, believe it or not.”
HER BRA NEEDS
Linda would benefit most from a versatile, supportive bra she can comfortably wear as she conducts fittings and interacts with customers. It should fit seamlessly under her most fashionable pieces. As an artist who values expertise, guidance from a bra expert is also key for Linda. “When I go bra shopping, I want someone to assist me,” she explains. “It’s invaluable to have expert advice.”
BRA SOLUTIONS
Whether you’re molding the crown of a hat or the cup of a bra, both require a profound understanding of shape and proportions to create a perfect fit. Our Shape Revelation® Collection is a testament to that. We identified three different breast shapes—shallow top, uneven, and pendulous—and designed three unique bra styles tailored to each shape.
SHAPE REVELATION®
This is the bra style we recommend most for Linda. It features a custom-shaped pad that lifts the breasts up and in, creating the appearance of a fuller-looking bustline. Women often lose volume at the top over time due to aging or motherhood. This expertly crafted bra targets that area for a more rejuvenated look, delivering form, fit, and function.
