\"Online<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve bought all my lingerie and sleepwear online for a couple of years now. I do it because:
\n– I\u2019d rather meet up with my girlfriends for drinks and chatter after a hard day\u2019s work.
\n– I can\u2019t drag myself to a mall specifically for lingerie shopping\u2026 Mall visits are for movies, brunches and friends.
\n– And finally, my neighbourhood shop, while reliable, is filled with auntie-jis dragging their children along, and a mostly male staff.<\/p>\n

It all started with an NRI cousin telling me how she shopped for her lingerie online all the time. I pooh-pooh\u2019ed her saying, \u201cDude, you\u2019re built like a stick, with mosquito bites for breasts. You can buy bras online all you want! It\u2019s not as easy for others!\u201d<\/p>\n

But she assured me no, that online stores were in fact, a haven for women with larger bust sizes. And there began my odyssey\u2026 I\u2019m going to let you in on my learning curve, in the hope of inspiring you to give online lingerie buys a try\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Online<\/p>\n

The test lies in buying the right bra<\/a>. Since we all come in wildly different sizes and shapes, bras are possibly the most fiddly and customised buys you can make as a woman. Sure, I knew my bra size, through salespeople\u2019s guesstimates, and my own trial and error. But I decided if I was going to do this, I\u2019d do it right.<\/p>\n

So, at home, on a quiet afternoon, I dressed comfortably and armed myself with a measuring tape, then followed the simple self-measuring guide<\/a> available on the site. After that, it was on to browsing. I figured I\u2019d ease into the experience with a simple style\u2026 I decided my first buy would be a T-shirt bra<\/a>. I got to the site, clicked on \u2018Bras\u2019, homed in on \u2018T-shirt bras\u2019, and that\u2019s it\u2026 I was hooked.<\/p>\n

From Browsing\u2026<\/span>
\nFor starters, the selection of styles that comes with buying lingerie online<\/a> can NEVER be matched by a brick and mortar store. EVER. I spent at least 20 minutes applying filters in various combinations to see the innumerable options the site presented me with (I dare you to resist)!<\/p>\n

To Selection\u2026<\/span>
\nFinally, I selected one \u2013 a grey, full-coverage, underwired T-Shirt bra, I added to my cart, and the deed was done! I had bought my first bra online. The price seemed a bit incredible at first; but then I realised it\u2019s something I would spend at least 8-10 hours in daily. And I have big breasts, so I\u2019m very finicky about fit and lift, and this would be more like an investment!<\/p>\n

\"Online<\/p>\n

Finding The Right Fit For You<\/span>
\nPrice is not my DECIDING factor, fit is\u2026 This bra had to meet a long list of expectations if it was going to swing me over to online lingerie shopping! The package finally arrived 5 days later and I dug into it eagerly\u2026
\nPraise be! Sing to the heavens! The fit was awesome!<\/p>\n

You’ll Love How It Feels<\/span>
\nI wore it the next day to office, to really put it through its paces, and it fared a lot better than the more expensive, store-bought ones I\u2019d worn over the years. Since then, I\u2019ve bought at least ten to twelve bras online on Zivame, sometimes as matching sets. But then, underwear<\/a> buying is easier to tackle online and sizing\/fit is usually not an issue.<\/p>\n

To be fair, a bra size is not gospel, it\u2019s a guide \u2013 and your size will vary, up or down depending on the style. For example, it took me one return (which Zivame picked up from my home), and a reorder (which the call-centre guided me with) to figure out that I need one cup-size larger than the one I was wearing, for a push-up balconette bra.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to return policies<\/a>. No store will offer you the same wide range of return options in case you\u2019re dissatisfied with your buy. In fact, a few stores will make quite the fuss to initiate the return \u2013 I\u2019ve been there, and it\u2019s not pretty. But in the case of an online store, the process couldn’t have been easier!<\/p>\n

So, get online ladies, leave behind the days of store-buying limited options in lingerie. Zivame even has an app<\/a>, so you can shop from the comfort of your phone! I\u2019m sold on the experience, and I\u2019m happy to sing about it from the rooftops. Hear me, world!<\/p>\n
