Shapewear fitting
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:44 am
This week will take me to the Chicago area. I have built enough time in my schedule for a visit to the Sally Ann corset shop.
I called the shop and asked if one time of day was better than others...No not really was the answer. The woman (presumably the shop owner / manager) was just a matter of fact to all questions I asked: Do I need to wear anything special? Answer: you must be wearing panties if you want to try on girdles. As I usually wear a high waist long leg panty girdle with panties (Bali SkimpSkamp usually with a panty liner..just in case) anyway this would not be a problem. She asked if I had any special areas that needed help; answer: Yes...a muffin top problem and a "poochie" tummy. She indicated that this is the usual area of concern for both women and CDers alike. She had many different types of girdles, both OBGs and panty styles that could help with my problem areas. Also did I ever consider a waist chincher? I also told her that I would like to consider different bras both long line and regular styles....again not a problem. They will measure me and make recommendations based on their measurements and suggest different styles to try on. Once I put on the girdle / bra combination, they will check out the fit and see if my problem areas are being helped. This sounds as if they will want to see me in just the shapewear…this is an option I have never experienced…no one has seen me in my bra and girdle except me; but how else can they make an objective evaluation unless they can see the issues. Apparently they do this all the time be it a GG or a Cder and Cders are just customers and is not a problem what so ever as they cater to many Cders. I asked if I needed to be enfemme. She said no; I asked about do I need to be wearing panty hose? No not really only if I wanted to.....but it may make putting on a girdle easier...my choice. I asked if I needed to bring in my forms or should I be wearing forms for a bra fitting...again my choice
I has been a long time since I was at Frishmann's in New York but that experience was wonderful; I am looking forward to visiting Sally Ann Corset Shop. I am definitely looking forward to the experience.....I will let you know how I make out.
Cheers,
