How The Buxom Beauty was created:
About Sarah: I used to be the person who often said, "I hate my bra." What I didn't realize is that I had never received a proper bra fitting, and my cup size was too large for what most stores offered. I was instead encouraged by sales associates to try "whatever is close enough," or (my personal favorite) my "sister size." I was completely unaware that I was continually given bad information and fit in a size much different than what I should have been wearing. As a result, I hated shopping (zero confidence in the way I looked) and I was plagued by poor posture and shoulder pain. When I finally received a proper fitting by a bra fit professional, all of that changed. I realized that I had been wearing bras one band size too large and 4 cups too small. What a difference it made to finally feel confident in my size!
Unfortunately, department stores and larger bra retailers lack significant availability of large cup bras in most cities- many of them have a variety of options for A-C cup, but larger cups sizes are difficult to find.
As I began talking to friends and family, I realized that I was not alone in this, and the idea for The Buxom Beauty was conceived. As a certified bra fit specialist, I believe that every woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her bra!

Did you know?
Many studies show that at least 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra
The average woman’s cup size is DD
These facts may surprise you, but the explanation is very simple. Some women have never been properly fit for a bra. As women gain or lose weight, have children, or their bodies develop, breast size can drastically change. Sometimes, we get busy and buy the same size we have been wearing for years without giving it a second thought. Some women know that they are size D cup or larger, but have a difficult time finding the proper size, and settle for an ill-fitting bra.
