Importance of Correct Fitting Bra

Get Measured for the Perfect Bra at Burgess of Athlone

Wearing a badly fitted bra can actually make you ill! Both headache and neck pain can be caused by a wrong sized bra! 

With 8 out of 10 women wearing the wrong sized bra, many women use bras with too large band size and too small cup size. In such cases, the breasts are supported by the shoulder straps, which will cause a lot of unnecessary pressure on the shoulders (which again can cause neck pain and headache).

With a perfect fitted bra, the breasts are supported from underneath and not from the shoulder straps. This way it will be almost no pressure on the shoulders.

Even circulation problems and skin problems can also be related to bad fitted bras.

For your bra fitting consultation, pop in to our Lingerie Department today. No appointment necessary. 

Now Stocking Theya Healthcare’s Post Surgery Bras

Now Stocking Theya Healthcare’s Post Surgery Bras

With the input of breast cancer survivors, Theya Healthcare have now designed and produced a range of recovery lingerie that is specifically tailored to these women’s needs. Through speaking to these women and working closely with the medical industry, it became clear that the Theya Healthcare designs were also going to be extremely suited to women who were going undergoing radiotherapy treatment, and women who have undergone cosmetic breast surgery. In Burgess, we strive to offer all women who have had breast related surgery a range of lingerie that meets all their wants and needs with an emphasis on comfort, support, prettiness and functionality, hence why we now stock Theya Healthcare pieces.

To view our collection, pop in store and visit Veronica, our bra fitting consultant, in our Lingerie Department.

Burgess Supporting Panache’s Modelled by Role Models Campaign

Panache Modelled by Role Models Campaign Autumn 2016 - Burgess of Athlone

Top lingerie brand and a favourite to our customers at Burgess, Panache have unveiled its new Modelled by Role Models campaign featuring six inspiring women including an aid worker, a cancer survivor and a knife crime campaigner.

Members of the public were asked to nominate their role model: someone they know who inspires them and makes them want to be the best version of themselves, as part of Panache Lingerie’s Modelled by Role Models campaign for 2016.

The lingerie company received 7,000 nominations but they whittled them down to just six women

The final line-up includes Danish aid worker Anja Loven, Canadian born plus-size model and cancer survivor Elly Mayday, and anti-knife and gang campaigner Eliza Rebeiro, from Croydon.

The other three, are Polish blogger and author Sylwia Blach, fundraiser Emily Findlay who has raised money for charities across Scotland, and Jayne Hurditch, co-founder of the Sheffield charity Amy’s House. 

View the video interviews with these fabulous ladies by clicking here.

It would be great to see a few Irish, even Athlone faces as Role Models. Maybe next year! 

Panache is available in store with our Bra Fitting event in store on Friday, 28th October.
