Footsies

When Oprah tells you to do something – you do it. Even if it’s a year later and you don’t think a bra can really change your life. Although we’ve tried here and there, and despite being in a town where breasts are one of the main attractions, finding a specialty boutique that sells lots of brands and has qualified sales people to fit you right has been a challenge. We never left a shop with a bra that made us feel like we were 18 again.

Luckily, Footsie on Montana was found.

Despite a rather cheeky name for a store that sells nothing to do with footwear, this place is serious business. Whether you’re proud of your little ones (waves hand) or in-love with your new ginourmous ones (waves to Pamela Anderson), this little boutique has the bra for you. Trust us ladies, they’ll make you perky and proud without pain or embarrassment.

We went in looking for a great every day t-shirt bra and a strapless number for summer dresses. We didn’t want anything too padded (which is hard to find in this town) and our sales person instantly knew what bra would be best. After a quick measurement we found out we had been wearing the wrong size and then were presented with one every day bra the saleslady promised we’d love and the same with a strapless in the new, correct size.

Perfect fit on try one. And we know it fit because the sales woman came into the room and took a look and made adjustments. No more guessing about if the bra looks good or not – they’ll tell you here. That’s especially important because all sales are final. But trust us, you won’t be returning anything from here. You’ll be too busy strutting around, knowing that Oprah was right about finding the perfect fit.

TIP: It’s a small place so come during the week or early on the weekend to get more personal service. And bring money – with matching knickers and pretty but practical bra’s you’ll want to drop some dough.
