Bra

Frequently Asked Questions

• What bras does Shirley Allum Boutique stock?

  Shirley Allum stocks a multi-brand bra range from Triumph, Fantasie, Wacoal, Charnos and Mey, in t-shirt, full cup, balconette, soft cup, non-wired and minimiser styles. Sizes run well beyond the high street, including fuller cups.

• How do I get the right bra fit?

  Fit comes down to the band and the cup working together. A band that rides up or a cup that gapes or overflows usually means the size is off. The surest way is to be measured, and our team can do that for you in store.

• Do you offer bra fitting in Dorset?

  Yes. You can be fitted in person at Shirley Allum Boutique on the High Street in Shaftesbury, Dorset. Our team knows the brands and the sizing well, so it is worth popping in if you are unsure of your size.

• What bra sizes do you stock?

  The range spans a wide spread of back and cup sizes, including fuller busts that can be hard to find on the high street. Exact sizing varies by brand, so a fitting helps pin down the best match.

• How should I care for bras?

  Hand wash bras where you can, or use a lingerie bag on a cool, gentle cycle. Reshape the cups and air dry rather than tumble drying, which protects the shape and the elastic over time.
