Practical Magic ~ Wacoal

My sister, Beth, is a terrific person and a great friend.  We grew up in the same house but we are nothing alike.  I tend to roam the edge looking at rainbows; she likes to stay on course preferring the pragmatic path. Several months ago I took her bra shopping.  Try as I might, there was no convincing her to buy a lacy European bra, which she did admire for its sheer artistry.  She could not rationalize the price or the pizazz. Beth spends all of her time in jeans and t-shirts tending to her herd of foster dachshunds, sometimes up to 10 at a time in her home.  When she is not shepherding her crew, she is driving miles a day transporting dogs from unwanted habitats to safe havens.  Her underwear is of no concern to her except that it needs to function, be comfortable and take no time to put on.  And it has to last because shopping is anathema to her.

So when she called me to ask where she could find a great fitting front closure bra that would actually support her through her 10 hour days, I suggested Wacoal’s T-Back underwire style (65124) from the Body By Wacoal collection, a best-selling mainstay in every bra-fitting store inventory.  Designed with a moisture wicking lightweight fabric and T-back construction, this 5 star bra is a perfect warm weather choice. It is also a practical alternative to a summer sports bra for women 32 – 38, B – DD cups.  Since Beth had no desire to go to a store, I pointed her towards Wacoal’s renowned fit consulting service available by phone.  Armed with all the information she needed, she made the entire purchase while sitting on her couch with a pile of wiener dogs stacked in her lap.  Then she called to tell me how perfect they were, the bras that is.
