In today’s episode of “A Secret Worth Sharing“, I answer, once and for all, the age old question of how to find your bra size. The wrong bra size and style can ruin any outfit! Here are the easiest ways to make sure you’ve got the right fit that will help you look and feel great!

In today’s episode of “A Secret Worth Sharing“, I share my ultimate bra secret for making even the toughest looks work - the convertible bra. Unruly bra straps are no longer a fashion faux paus!

Check it out!! A pair of sisters, Melanie and Elizebeth, get a new fit and a new look in the newest episodes of my Playtex Bra Makeover series!

Melanie’s sick of spillage and digging straps, but she doesn’t know what to do! She wants to know that beauty doesn’t have to mean a painful fit and hopes to find the look she wants with the coverage she needs. Her sister, Elizebeth, needs to retire her bras because her underwire woes are out of control! She’s sick of bras that poke, ride up and dig, and wants to make sure her wedding day is pain-free.

I’m going to rescue them from their bad bra fit and discomfort and show them that with Playtex you can look good and feel great!

Ladies, get “the girls” the best bra support

Last week I had the opportunity to meet eight fabulous women in NYC who were lacking support, and by that I mean that their breasts were drooping. Those girls and their “girls” needed a lift. They were among the many thousands who entered a contest - announced on ABC’s The View - to be flown to NYC for three days, receive an on-camera makeover from me and star in their very own webisode that would air throughout the year as part of the PlaytexBraMakeover series. This year, I insisted that we kick it up a notch, and besides giving our ladies a well-needed lift in the boob department with new bras, I wanted to give the ladies a stylish new head-to-toe look.

Let’s face it, once your breasts are in the right place, your clothes will instantly fit better and look better on your body.

I fell for these ladies hook, line and sinker. They came as duos - mother/daughter, sisters and best friends. In less than 72 hours we gals shared laughter and swapped plenty of stories of boobydom, boyfriends, husbands and our best gal pals. Whether we call them girls, puppies, melons, kiddies, boobies, too big or barely there, it’s true… we all have a story to share.

Thank you all for sharing your breast stories with me and letting me reshape your look with some bra and girlfriend support, along with new outfits to help you proudly stand tall and at attention.

And to cap off a return back to LA, I received these lovely thank you notes from two of the gals, Tuesday & Toniann.

Alison,

Since I have been back in Virginia all I can do is think about where I was this time last week.

It was in wonderful New York City enjoying time on the set with people like yourself, and the rest of the gang who worked on the Playtex Bra Makeover!

I can’t tell you how it has changed me. I wish I could’ve put it in words when I was there but I froze up. Anyway here is what I should have said when they asked me “What do you think about Alison”:

I think the world of Alison because she has changed my world. It is a wonderful feeling to look down and see my breasts standing up at attention versus sagging below my belt line! I am so happy with the way my new Playtex 18 hr bra feels. I would have to say for a woman who is beautiful outside she is also beautiful inside.

My experience in New York is one that I will forever remember and be proud of. I just hope the pictures reflect what I was feeling - like a queen!! Thank you Alison and if you are ever in Virginia Beach - please look me up!

Have a blessed week!

Tuesday
Aka “Boobsday”

Alison,

It was so wonderful meeting you last week! Thank you so much for the fabulous time we had and all the great fashion tips you gave us! We will never forget our time in NYC with you and the wonderful people involved with our makeover! We cannot wait to see the finished project! Thanks again!

Bra Fit Issues

Question: I just watched you on ABC talking about getting a great fit with your bras. I am having a difficult time finding anyone to help me. I am an older woman..74 this coming September. My husband passed away 5 1/2 years ago in a few months after his passing I lost 100pounds. My problem is bras. I was fitted not too long ago and was told I am a 36 C or B. I have size 38 and they feel snug. I just purchased three Bali bras size 38 C and they too feel snug around my body and the cups too large with some puckering. I am going to try a 40 B. Any help would be great?
Sincerely,
Donna

Alison: First off, each bra style can fit differently. Are you trying the same style or are you trying different bra styles? Here are some of my thoughts on styles: If you’re concerned about the shape of your breasts, you should definitely try a light foam cup. A compressed foam bra will not add any size but will give you a nice even, rounded shape.
