| - Tryst was recently mentioned in a Toronto Life issue as one of the places to go get a bra fitting. I've had a fitting here and there, but to be honest, I have my doubts as to what they are measuring when I'm wearing clothes and push up bras underneath said clothes. Not to mention, you lose and gain breast tissue (depending on a number of variables) and getting a proper fitting from time to time is good for you. As is replacing bras that don't actually fit you.
I've been meaning to pop by and check out Tryst since reading that they measure you in four ways/areas to get the best fit for you. I recently had some time and was in the area so I ventured in and was helped by a woman named Deb.
Deb was super friendly and completely professional. If you're uncomfortable being in your bra in front of strangers, maybe it will help to hear that at no point did I feel uncomfortable. Deb asked what size I wear, and then grabbed a bra in said size for me to try on. After I put it on, Deb would come in and check if the straps were too long, or the band too large or the cups too small. Once she had determined the right size, she asked what type of bra I was searching for. As I need ones for everyday use, I asked for neutral colours to wear under shirts.
Ironically, of all the ones she brought for me to try on, I ended up buying the prettiest pale pink one and a gray one that was edged with lace and has these silly flowers at the base of the straps. Aside from my deviation of neutral choices, Deb also asked that I either put a shirt on or go through the motions to make sure that the underwires don't get painful, and to test out sitting in the bra, as these movements can also help you figure out if a certain bra will actually be comfortable to wear.
The bras I bought were pricey. Not going to lie, the most expensive bras I've ever bought in my life. BUT, they are just so perfect! And I had such a lovely experience. Deb also told me that I should try to wash after each wear (hand wash or delicate/gentle cycle in a garment bag using mild detergent/natural soap). Definitely never wear the same bra twice in a row, and wash by the second wear.
I need more bras to be able to wear once a week, because I went home and realized how many of my bras need to be thrown away and replaced. But it will have to wait for another time as these ones were pricier than I expected. Still I think this is a great place to go and get a bra fitting because you learn a lot!
