Meet your favourite girl squad: VBF style!
Our Virtual Bra Fitters! Featuring some new girls on the block….
At Curvy Kate we’re passionate about creating lingerie that fits you so well it has you feeling a million dollars. We love to see the confidence transformation of our customers in our products.
Our Virtual Bra Fitting dream team has had a few newbies join and we would LOVE to refresh your memory and get to know them all a little better, so we asked each of them some questions…
Meet newbie Harriet!
What is something new you learnt during any lockdowns?
I learnt how to improve my baking by practicing my cake decorating I'm definitely still a beginner, but I have improved so much and really enjoy spending time in my kitchen.
Quick fire! Do you put the milk first or the cereal first in the bowl?
Cereal!!!!!
What is your ultimate fave cocktail or Summer drink?
A mojito is my go-to in summer, absolutely love them!
What is your favourite thing about being a bra fitter?
I love everything about being a bra fitter, but especially showing women that they shouldn't have to struggle through life with poorly fitting lingerie and that it definitely doesn't need to be boring. I absolutely love when women tell me they can only ever find bra's in their size in boring colours and I'm able to go "Look a yellow coloured lifestyle bra" or "a bright-blue wonderfull'
What is your tip to women who struggle to find the correct bra size?
Definitely seek some form of advice, there's no shame in asking for help with bra's because that is what us bra fitters are for and don't wait either, every day you are in a bra that doesn't make you and your boobs happy is a day you could of walked around feeling fabulous about your boobs!
That's right, we have not one, but two new girls on the block!
Meet Jaime!
What is something new you learnt during any lockdowns?
I love textiles and found myself learning to weave (on a little toy loom mind you) but it’s been satisfying and kind of meditative, on the same thread I have also had a little go with macrame too. This means I have been able to make some cute hangers for some of my jungle of plants I seem to have accumulated in the past year! 🌿
Quick fire! Do you put the milk first or the cereal first in the bowl?
Cereal first, always – the other way around is criminal!
What is your ultimate fave cocktail or Summer drink?
I am very partial to a gin and tonic if going alcoholic but otherwise I really love a rose lemonade with a big chunk of ice!
What is your favourite thing about being a bra fitter?
I love that by this point I have this kind of rolodex of bras in my brain that is always expanding. Being a bra fitter is learning all the time as no two bodies will wear a bra the same way and every customer is different! There is always something new to learn and that’s exciting, it’s amazing to see how much the right bra can change not just their comfort but their perception of themselves and the way they carry themselves. It is so satisfying to help people find that.
What is your tip to women who struggle to find the correct bra size?
Please don’t put up with uncomfortable, drab bras! Seek out a fitting whether in store (I will always bang my drum for independents in this case, especially after the year that has been – I’m not biased honestly 😇) or online through a virtual fitting, whatever feels more comfortable or is accessible to you. Try to be open to the process of trying different styles and sizes you may not have expected to have been advised. I know this can be difficult if you have had a poor experience in the past but I promise we just want to help you find something that makes you feel fabulous!
Meet Tina!
What is something new you learnt during any lockdowns?
I learnt how to send Zoom invites 😉
Quick fire! Do you put the milk first or the cereal first in the bowl?
I put the cereal first!
What is your ultimate fave cocktail or Summer drink?
Champagne and strawberries.
What is your favourite thing about being a bra fitter?
Seeing the amazing results!
What is your tip to women who struggle to find the correct bra size?
Always have the under-band of your bra anchored to your body.
Meet Freya!
What is something new you learnt during any lockdowns?
I've found my speciality dish, Lotus Biscoff Rocky Road! And there's no actual cooking involved, which is a plus for me haha!
Quick fire! Do you put the milk first or the cereal first in the bowl?
I don't actually like milk - controversial! So I have yoghurt with my cereal!
What is your ultimate fave cocktail or Summer drink?
Oooo this is a hard one! Between Blue Lagoon and Pina Colada!
What is your favourite thing about being a bra fitter?
I love seeing the change in confidence after ladies have had an amazing fitting experience. The fact we as bra fitters can do that... it feels like a superpower!
Last but not least, our very own bra whisperer Katie!
What is something new you learnt during any lockdowns?
COOK! Thank you Gousto 😍
Quick fire! Do you put the milk first or the cereal first in the bowl?
I’m a carb queen - it’s toast for me. But if I were to eat cereal, milk last!
What is your ultimate fave cocktail or Summer drink?
Virgin Mojito 🤩
What is your favourite thing about being a bra fitter?
Meeting all of the incredible women from around the world!
What is your tip to women who struggle to find the correct bra size?
Always have a fitting with a professional bra fitter! Don’t try and guess your way through the world of bras, it will only make you and your boobs unhappy!
Don’t forget to give all of our VBFs a follow on Instagram to stay up to date with what they’re up to or even tag them in your photos wearing your freshly fitted Curvy Kate bras!
May the 17th be with you…Happy Shopping!
