| - I rushed into BraTopia knowing what I wanted and walked out with something completely different.
My friends at Espy got me switched over to more expensive bras, realizing dropping an extra dime or two will get me a far better fit than I could ever find by stuffing myself into a D from the usual retail spots, like La Senze or La Vie en Rose.
Dawn, the manager, gave a cheery greeting, even though the clock was ticking past 5 p.m. and it was time to get home for dinner.
I explained I was looking to replace my black balconette that suffered its death when an underwire came poking through.
She selected four different styles and directed me to the dressing rooms. She helped me ensure each style fit properly and explained the fit, style and adjustments of each bra.
I settled on a $125 convertible bra. Yes, the straps can switch to racer back and strapless. These styles are difficult to find when you have a jaw-dropping, eye-catching E-size rack.
BraTopia offers 'bridging brands,' meaning they fill that gap between the aforementioned retail brands and the more expensive brands you'll find at the *other* lingerie shops in Calgary. You'll be spending anywhere between $30 and $130 at BraTopia.
It also specializes in cup-size swimwear. No more wondering if these jugs will be falling out of a 'large' halter-style swimsuit.
I can't wait for my next visit to BraTopia, to start building a real, solid foundation for my jubilees.
