Understanding all these different sizes is already a challenge, and now, you have to think about what country it is from! Have you ever spotted a European bra shop that only sells UK sizes? You can't simply shop for a 42DDD in one of these shops because you'll be looking forever. Here at Bras & Honey, we carry US and UK sizes, educating all of our storefront workers on which is which. Today, I'm here to educate you as well.  So why is it important to get to know your fellow countries special sizing chart?  Getting to know UK sizes isn’t too hard once you get a hold of it.

The pandemic has been hard on all of us, forcing some to move from job to job or even lose their job all together. Millions of people are unemployed or working from home, staying secluded and inside for most of the day.  Now, what does this have to do with bras, you ask? Well, when you work from home or are completely unemployed, there is no reason for you to want to wear a bra. Many women have abandoned their bras throughout the last year due to lack of human interaction and just for the fact that there is no need to be completely presentable. From the lens of your zoom camera, your friends, family, and coworkers can only see your shoulders and up. So why even try?  This anti-bra behavior will change the way you fit into your bra. Whether you have gained or lost weight during the pandemic...

Which Bra Should I Wear?? Figuring out which bra to wear with each shirt can be difficult. Why can't we just wear one bra for every outfit? Picking out which bra isn't going to show under you shirts is always hard and you end up trying every combination before you find the right match.

I've Gained Weight And Now My Bra Doesn't Fit, NOW WHAT?? Covid-19 has had many different effects on all of us, including new found depression, new hobbies, financial problems, and most commonly, weight gain. Every single day we have women coming in to the store telling us how they have gained "Covid weight" and don't have any bras that fit them now.  It's important to know that you are not in this alone. Many, many women have gained weight over the last 18 months and it is completely normal, especially based on the circumstances. We have been stuck at home for many months with nothing to do but take care of ourselves. Unfortunately, when you can't regularly go to the gym or walk around the mall like you used to, weight gain is the biggest side effect. But, again, you are not alone.  The first thing you need to do...
