Sorry Oprah, Size Doesn’t Matter It’s the Brand of the Bra That Counts!

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie features the finest lingerie from around the world. Pampered Passions has custom fitters on staff to satisfy all your bra needs.

May 29, 2007 (FPRC) -- Everywhere you go, you hear that 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra. Oprah even touts this, but Oprah also knows her favorite brands! Well I am here to tell you that this trendy comment should be outdated sooner than later. A woman almost senses fear when she hears she could be wearing the wrong size bra.

It’s the brand of bra that matters then the size. Women will be at least 3 different sizes in a store depending on the brand. There is no such thing as measuring and telling a woman she is a definite 34B. In fact the finest Bra Boutiques in the world do not measure by a measuring tape, they “custom fit” women. The finest Bra Boutiques measure by a bra rotation not by a measuring tape.

Each and every client of Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie is properly measured by bra brands. Alicia Vargo, owner of Pampered Passions states, “We measure each client by bringing in 8-10 different bra brands and types. Types of bras can range from T shirt bras, Lacey bras, Demi bras, Contour and many other styles. A woman can be a 34B in a Chantelle, but have to graduate a bandwidth to a 36B in a Felina, and a Le Mystere Bra (Oprah’s Favorite) she can fit into a 34A. We start with the bra-size she thinks she is wearing and work our way from there. Each and every brand fits so differently, its all about the brand, then the fit. 9 times out of 10, its not the size of the bra that a woman can be identified by as she will be 2-3 different sizes depending on the brand of the bra.”

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie features the finest bras at every price point from all over the world. Brands such as Cosabella, Chantelle, Le Mystere, Antinea, Goddess, Fantasie, Lise Charmel, Felina, Fashion Forms, Le Jaby, Aubade and more.

The Park Meadows location is the first store with a forecast of one store in several other Metro/Suburban markets in the country.

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie was born through a not so warm experience. Alicia Vargo, an executive in the Wine Industry for 20 years, walked into Victoria’s Secret one day. She was about to speak in front of 200 people that evening at a Gala. Alicia was having one of “those” days where she just wanted that extra boost to make her feel beautiful “all under”.

A size 2, 18 year old came running up to her asking if Alicia would like to be measured. The Sales Associate instructed Alicia into a dressing room and proceeded to measure her. The Sales Associate gasped, and proclaimed loudly that Alicia was a 38 around in bandwidth. Alicia knew she was a 38, not your “cookie cutter” 34/36, but was startled at the reaction from the Associate. The Associate proceeded to tell Alicia she had nothing to fit her today.

Alicia, a professional in Customer Management, knew as she walked out of Victoria’s Secret empty handed, with no package,that no woman should ever have to feel disheartened. Women are beautiful in every shape and size and should be nurtured and cared for.

The next day, Alicia researched the finest Lingerie is the world, knowing there had to be life beyond Victoria’s Secret. http://www.pamperedpassions.com was born in the year 2000. Pampered Passion’s On Line Store is one of the most popular and fastest growing stores on the internet. The Internet store has been featured in In Style Magazine, Cosmopolitan and acknowledged by Alexa On Line as one of the finest On Line Stores.

The first “brick and mortar” store was opened in December of 2004. Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie, Park Meadows is up for the most presigious award in the Lingerie Industry. Lingerie Americas has nominated Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie for the “Retailer of the Year Award” given out in the Fall, 2005.

Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie specializes in the largest selection of Bridal Bustiers in the Colorado Market. Pampered Passions fits each bride personally to ensure the perfect garment underneath the wedding gown. They host after hours Bridal Showers and Bachelorette Parties. Alicia Vargo, owner of Pampered Passions states, “ Not many Brides can boast that they have had their Bridal Shower in the Lingerie Store!” They also have an On-Line and In Store Gift Registry.

Alicia Vargo wanted every woman to feel beautiful and comfortable whatever stage they were at in their lives. Alicia Vargo not only set up a full service Post Mastectomy Department, but a full service web-site to accommodate national and international clients. Pampered Passions hired on a Post Mastectomy Fitter, CMF who works with patients in the store, in-home visits and internet customers. Traci Yuran, CMF has been fitting prosthesis and orthotics for over 15 years.

Pampered Passions went one step further and takes almost every kind of insurance. There is no other store, not even Nordstroms that has this benefit. Alicia Vargo states “ Post Mastectomy patients have enough on their minds besides worrying about their insurance issues.” “We try to assist them with the billing in every aspect.” Pampered Passion’s Post Mastectomy Department offers many options for women who choose to wear breast forms. Originally, a woman’s choices were extremely limited. Very few styles of Post Mastectomy bras existed, and there was little choice in external breast forms. In addition, there were no professional fitters, and women had to guess which size breast form was best for them. Today, with a comfortable, feminine atmosphere, Traci Yuran places an emphasis on personal service and concentrates on making the woman feel at ease during the fitting process.

Pampered Passions specializes in Full Figure options up to a 50H in a Bra and Full Figure Loungewear options. Alicia Vargo claims, “ Every women whatever shape or size can walk out our door feeling like a Princess.” Pampered Passions has a special order service whereby women can special order items to try on. Alicia states, “Women love to get the phone call to come in and play dress up, when their special orders arrive.”
