Nordstrom Fits America


Get your girlfriends together and go to Nordstrom! From March 5 - May 2 they're having a National Bra Fitting and if you have four or more in a party, you can have a bra fitting party with your girlfriends at Nordstroms.

Why are they doing this?

Nordstrom is inviting you "to join us as we partner with 20 top lingerie brands to support Susan G. Komen for the cure, a global leader in the fight against breast cancer...

For every bra purchased during the in-store event, $2 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Research Fund: $1 from Nordstrom and the matching $1 from participating brands, including Badgley Mishcka*, Betsey Johnson Intimates, Calvin Klein Underwear, Chantelle, DKNY, Donna Karan Intimates, Elle Macpherson Intimates, Elomi*, Fantasie, Fayreform, Felina, Freya, Huit*, Le Mystere, Natori, onGossamer*, Panache*, Simone Perele*, SPANX, and Wacoal." (* is available at selected stores.)

Nordstrom Fits America to find a store near you with the dates and times available.


I used to have gaps in my bra cups, thinking that I was a 36A. When I finally got a professional fitting, I discovered that I was instead a 32C. That's a big difference. And I can tell you it makes a bigger difference looking at me just in my bra as well as under clothes. With a 32C on, no more gaps. To see some other positive results from Nordstrom fittings, click on Evie Gets Fit and Friends & Fittings.

I highly recommend anyone who hasn't been fitted, recently lost weight, had a baby or whose body has changed more than five pounds since your last fitting, go to Nordstrom and get a proper bra fit. It makes all the difference in how you look and feel wearing the right bra size.

It's all about feeling your best and Celebrating Your Inner Eve, having a bra fitting party is one fun-filled way to do it!

"The Perfect One" Bra & Spokesmodel

If I have to name one of my favorite people, then it would have to be Heidi Klum. From being a successful model, to host of Project Runway, to loving her husband, Seal, and children above all else, she's a woman who is comfortable in her own skin, Celebrating Her Inner Eve at every turn.


When I heard that Heidi Klum was launching Victoria's Secret's new The Perfect One Bra (image above), I had to find out more about it.

On The Perfect One website, Heidi tells us that the bra, "shapes, smooths, and supports" all in one, allowing for a seamless look under your clothes. With three types of foam, the bra "conforms to your body and fills the gaps between you and your body."

The Bra Lab video below, detailing Heidi building The Perfect One Bra, has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen since Man Cold. Click on the Bra Lab video below to see Heidi Klum in pure Heidi Klum form.

Main colors are intensive as spring sunshine – warm orange, coral, violet. There are also a few designs of bridal lingerie – with innovative tulle straps, headbands and cuffs. However, quality of fabrics and laces is still at the same high level. In one word – sexy collection full of subtle aesthetics.

Evie Gets Fitted!

Hello Lingeristas!

As Eve as told us, time and time again, it is so important to go in for a proper fitting. Try a local specialty boutique, or even Nordstrom. Trust me, you might be surprised.

For years, my "girls" have been growing. I went to The Big Pink a few times to get fit and I was a 36C consistently. However, the bras just didn't seem to fit right. They'd pucker in strange places and I had the lovely "under-arm fat" going on. It wasn't pretty but I though this was normal. But during fashion week in Las Vegas, Eve mentioned that I might be D-cup. Say what?? She said we needed to go to Nordstrom's and get me a proper fitting. So on Friday, we finally converged into the mega-mall and headed for the lingerie section at Nordstrom.

(Evie's new Silver Embrace Underwire Bra by Wacoal {image above}, bought after the fitting in Nordstrom for $46 AND in her correct size!)

The first thing we did was head for the sales rack. So many beautiful brands to try on! Elle Macpherson, Chantelle, Wacoal, and more. I was in lingerie heaven. A wonderful sales-woman, Jenny, came by to see if we needed anything and proceeded to make the entire fitting process very comfortable. It's not easy for me to take off my top and go naked on the upper-half in front of strangers, let alone good friends. But she was fantastically professional. The real shocker was the sizing. I'm not a 36C. I'm a 34D! Once we figured that out, Jenny went out and found bras that I loved and had to have (though I only bought one, I'm on a budget after all). I bought a lovely Wacoal bra that is sexy and perfectly functional to wear every day. Eve said this bra made me look as though I'd lost 10 pounds, which made me feel even better about myself.

The best part of getting properly fit and trying on the right size was that I felt properly supported. With a shirt on, I could see my figure and it looked different. I felt a little sexier, a little more beautiful (and let's not discuss my husband's reaction). My inner-Eve was definitely on her way out!

(Eve's favorite bra {above image}, this lingerie trip, the Rive Gauche Demi Cup Bra by Chantelle for $76. It comes in nude, black and red. The white dotted details on the bow and straps make this understated lacy and racy bra pop)

So Lingeristas, I ask that you go to Nordstrom and get properly fit, especially if it's been a few years since the last time and/or your bras aren't fitting right. Embrace your inner-Eve and see what happens!

Cheers, Evie
