Another net search gets...
the same results

On March 30, 2008, at 7 pm Arizona time, I did another net search. I googled "how to measure for a bra." Out of the 10 listings on page 1, 8 of them were wrong. Is it any wonder, then , that the vast majority of women are wearing the wrong size bra? If the "experts" don't know themselves, where can the average woman go to find out what bra size is right for her?

The answer is the average woman will have a difficult time finding out what bra size she needs, but you found the place you can get the right answer when you found this web page

And 1 Year Later, you still can't find the right information searching for "bra size calculator"

On April 22, 2009, 7:40 PM Arizona time, I decided to check again and do another Google search for "bra size calculator."  The results that came up on the left side of the page looked a little different than they did 1 year ago.  There were still 9 bra size calculators that came up, but 3 of them were using the exact same page for the "bra size calculator," and the one website that had good information a year ago was no longer on page 1, for whatever reason I don't know.

This time I used 30 inches for the under bust measurement, and 34 inches for the over bust measurement.  And just like 12 months ago, the average recommendation from these "b.s." calculators was off by 4 band sizes AND 4 cup sizes.  One of the calculators was truly unique, giving me a band size that was 6 sizes off, giving me no cup size at all, and even suggesting that a woman with those measurements didn't even need a bra!

Out of the 10 listings on page 1 of this search, the only listing that was helpful was the very last one, which referred women to an article I had published a year ago in EzineArticles.com, which also can be found here.

"I love, love, love the support and comfort I get from this bra and I was shocked to see the difference in my appearance. I looked like I had lost 5-10 pounds. "The real compliment came when I went to work and several of my co-workers asked me how much weight I had lost and who my personal trainer was. That was the deal closer for me...  I’m also amazed at how much better I feel all day long now. My back is less tired at the end of the day, and that alone is priceless." Lainie Kluss, Phoenix, Arizona

Look how much better Lainie looks in only 5 minutes.  Follow along the red lines.  See how much firmer, how much slimmer she looks in the after picture?

Putting her in the right size bra was all she needed, and you can get the same results, too, maybe even better. Those are true, unaltered, unedited pictures.  No special camera angles, nothing different at all between them except
the “before” pictures are taken in the
wrong size bra, and the “5 min. later” pictures are taken in the right size bra.

And these pictures are of a small woman.  A taller, heavier woman looks even thinner when she puts on the
right size bra.

Are you covering up the skinny part of your
body with your boobs?

The thinnest part of our bodies is just below our boobs.  That's the area we need other people to see so we can
look our thinnest.  If you don't lift your boobs and keep them where they belong, you end up looking fat and frumpy.

In order to lift your boobs AND keep them up you MUST be wearing the right size bra, and you MUST be wearing it correctly.

The women I do bra fittings for love me for it, and their boobs love them for it. 

Can proper bra sizing help you
avoid the scalpel?

"The bra you put me in is better than a couple thousand dollar boob job." Joy Williams, Phoenix, Arizona

Some of my customers think so.  Some of them have told me that the bra fitting I did for them saved them from the risk and expense of reconstructive surgery.

You DON'T need reconstructive surgery, silicone implants, breast reduction, a lift,
etc., etc., in order for your boobs to look and
feel like you want them to.

All you need is the right size bra!

The one part of your body that gets the most attention is also the most misunderstood and gives you the most problems…

Your boobs!!!!

Your boobs can either make you or break you. If they look good, you look good and feel good, sexy, young, (even if you're old) thin, (even if you're heavy), and your clothes fit well.

AND

If your boobs look bad you feel bad and you look bad, frumpy, old looking (even if you are young), fat (even if you are thin), and your clothes fit terribly and on top of it all you are in all kinds of pain.

Because of the way you are built, it is the one part of your body that cannot go without support, and for as long as there have been women, we've been trying to get the right support.

We have even resorted to surgery, but there's also been wraps, corsets, bustier and brassieres, this last category the most misunderstood.

10 Worst Problems SOLVED
by wearing the Right Size Bra

How many of these are bothering you everyday?

If you are wearing the right size bra:

10. Your boobs won't be off to the side instead of in the front.  I’ll bet you thought this was fat.  Nope, it’s separated breast tissue.

9.  Your breasts won't be hanging low, making you look old.

8.   You won't have to adjust you bra every time you move, and you know how annoying that is.

7.  Because you will have the right support, your breast muscles will not stretch, weaken and break.

6.   Your straps won't continually fall off your shoulder.

5.  Your blouses and jackets will not gap in the front, and your bust line darts will actually fall in the proper place.

4.   Your breasts won't come completely out of your cups, either over the top, or fall right through the bottom.

3.  You will be able to tighten your straps, without your bra riding up high in the middle your back- between your shoulder blades- creating the ugly side back fat.

2.   Your neck, back and shoulders won't ache—and ache and ache and ache.

1. And the #1 problem SOLVED by wearing the right size bra is that you will look like you lost 10 pounds and you won't look fat and frumpy.

What do you mean I look fat?

"Thank you so much... I was skeptical when I first... [heard that] I could wear an underwire bra. I am a plus sized woman and I have not been able to wear an underwire bra for over 20 years. I would try from time to time, but they always gave me bruises on my arms where the underwire would poke out at me, or they just hurt my rib cage under my breasts so bad that I had to take off the bra. However once I... followed your detailed instructions, I have been able to find bras that fit great, hold my large breasts firmly, and are very comfortable as well. [By doing the exercises] I have gotten rid of the back and side fat that you talk about and now look slimmer too. Thanks again." Leslie E., Boynton Beach, Florida

The other day one of my customers
who had me do a bra fitting a few weeks before came in and told Laurie, one of my sales clerks, this story. She said that the new size bra she was wearing to work every day had people telling her how good she looked, how much thinner she was looking, when the only thing she was doing differently was wearing the right size bra.

Then on Saturday, since she didn't
have to go to work, she put on one of her old bras, and was outside in her front yard when her neighbor walked over, gave her a funny look, and asked her what's going on? So she asked her neighbor what she meant.

The neighbor said that all week long she had noticed that my customer looked like she had lost weight, but today she told my customer that she looked a little heavy again. What
happened?

Laurie told me that my customer started laughing as she told Laurie this. So I told her, she said, that all week long I was wearing my new bras I got from Danese Creations and you thought I looked thinner and now that I'm wearing an old bra you tell me I look fat? That does it. I'm getting rid of all my old bras.

I know that when you are dealing with these problems and you don't have the solutions, all you want to do is to burn your bra!

And maybe you SHOULD!

(Not really, a better option would be to donate it to a women's shelter so someone else can use it.)

Ladies don’t usually say they want to burn their ill-fitting bras.  What they do tell me is that at the end of the day all they want to do is throw the bra in the trash.

Make friends with your bra

If you’re like most of us women, you’ve probably wondered at some point in your life why it is that no one has invented a better bra, a nice bra.  A bra that not only feels good but supports, too.   

The truth is that the modern bra is here to stay because it truly is one of the best friends a girl ever had.  It can make us look good, it can make us look younger, and it can help us avoid the neck, back and shoulder pain all of us would have if we didn’t wear a bra.  The modern bra can make it easier for us to be active and healthy in this fast paced world of ours. 

It’s true.  Just try and imagine what life would be like bouncing and flopping all day long.  Maybe the only thing worse than a life in the wrong size bra would be a life with no bra at all. 

It all boils down to this:  What’s needed is NOT a better bra design.  What’s needed is the right information about how to measure properly and what size you should choose based on your measurements.  With the right information, your bra will do for you all the things that it can do.  This is what one of my bra FREE bra fittings will do for you. 

Don’t give up, and don’t spend another minute in the wrong size bra.  Don’t go through one more day in the agony that comes with the wrong size bra. And never again waste your money on the wrong size bra.  

Spend the rest of your life looking your best and feeling your best.  Spend the rest of your life with happy boobs.  Spend the rest of your life in the bra size that’s right for you.

If you love yourself you just cannot go another day without this information.

How can I help you…

"This is such a good program. All but one of the women were convinced they were wearing the right size bra. "I've been measured quite a few times," they all said the same thing. Well, all of them were wrong! They were so surprised to find out what their real size was! We went shopping for bras, and everyone was so pleasantly surprised - the new bra size supports them so much better, and makes their boobs look amazing.  The program itself - a must have for every single woman out there (who wears a bra!) And on top of all this, some of the best customer service I've experienced!So in conclusion, you can't really go wrong [getting Scylvia's help]." Soraya Kabiri, London, U.K.

When you finally put your boobs in the
right size bra, it will be just like heaven.

Maybe it's called something different ...

where you live, but most women in Phoenix call it chicken fat, and it refers to the dimples and bulges in your skin that show up between your breasts and underarms whenever you put on a strapless gown.  Isn't that grand?  You want to look your best for your formal occasion, and that's when this stuff shows up. "Looking your best" and "chicken fat" do not belong in the same sentence. You can't look your best when you've got blobs of fat sticking out of your bra.

This "stuff" isn't fat, exactly, it's separated breast tissue.  It's supposed to be a part of your breast, but it's gone off wandering below the underarm. And you got it by wearing the wrong size bra.

How did the wrong size bra give you chicken fat?  It's simple, really.  A breast may look and feel like one solid unit, but it's not.  It's a collection of cells and stuff that's held together by our skin.  If we wanted to, we could actually massage our boobs and break up and push out some of that stuff.  

That's more or less what the wrong size bra does over time--it keeps our skin from doing it's job, it causes our breast muscles to stretch, weaken, and pull apart.

"I am very happy and pleased with the help you have given me.  I like the video and found it helpful." D.B., Lahaina, Hawaii

You can go to the gym to try and get rid of this.  You can even have it cut off. Neither
of those is the best solution.  

Having it surgically removed will work temporarily, but if you keep wearing the
wrong size bra, it will return sooner or later.

Trying to work it off at the gym will give you
a bigger back, bigger arms, and if that's
what you want, that's fine.

But there's no gym equipment that will exercise the breast muscles the right way. There just isn't.  Why?  Because what you need are techniques, not gym exercises.

There are some old-time techniques that I learned when I was a girl, and they are perfect for lifting and firming your breasts—no matter what shape you're in now.  They're very easy to do, take only 5 to 7 minutes a day, you can do them sitting down while you're watching Oprah or Ellen, they'll move your chicken fat back to your boobs, where it belongs, and you can get them right here.

Also on the video, there's my INDISPENSABLE, absolutely necessary, instructions on the right way to put on your bra.  These instructions include the right way to "load" your breasts into the cups THAT ALSO helps you re-form and reshape your breasts.  When you do these simple steps every time you put on your bra, the techniques work even faster.

 100th Anniversary  

Our modern bra is having it’s 100th birthday. Bras have been around longer than this, but in 1907 Vogue magazine called the modern bra a “brassiere” which means “upper arm” in French. Suddenly women around the globe were looking for this hot new item which was nicknamed the “bra”.

Women have been wearing the modern bra for about 100 years or so, 100 years worth of women buying bras and trying to find out how to get a bra that fits—and after all that time and money spent, 90% still don’t know what size bra they are, most women “think” they’re wearing the right size, and 80% still don’t know the right way to put one on.

I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “C’mon, it’s a bra.  You put your arms through the straps, hook it up, and you’re done.  What’s the big deal?”

The big deal is that even if you have the perfect bra size and the perfect fit bra, if you don’t put it on the right way, it won’t fit as well as it should, and you've only won half the battle.

"It is so very comfortable I can hardly believe it.  I finally feel "cared for".  I just wanted to say thank you for offering this information to those of us who have never had the experience of a bra that actually fits. I will be back for more.  Thanks." Lynda N., Farmington Hills, Michigan

After 100 years of trying, the only possible way that women could still not know what
bra size measurement is right for them is if
the “experts” don’t really know themselves.

Because most women themselves don’t
know how to calculate bra size and what a
bra should do for them, they accept whatever bra the “expert” at a bra shop or department store gives them.

But most of the time these “experts” are working with a limited inventory, so the “expert” makes her recommendation based
on whatever sizes she has in stock. After all, what’s more important—finding your bra size, or that the “expert” makes a sale?

Some bra "experts" are even men!  What would a man know about how to size a bra? And what woman would want to talk to a man about fitting a bra?  I know I sure wouldn't. I'll talk to a man about fitting a bra when he talks to me about fitting his jock--know what I mean?

Why are bras
different from everything else?

You know what size blouse you wear, what dress size you are, right?  (Yes, I know, it would be helpful if they wouldn’t keep changing the system on us.)

Just about every woman knows what ring size she is, right?

And let’s not forget about shoes.  Do you think there’s even one woman in the entire country who doesn’t know what her shoe size is?

But for some reason, how to determine your bra size has managed to stay some deep, dark secret that most women wish they were in on.  And that can only be true if the “experts” themselves don’t really know what they’re doing.

100 years of failure is not the mark of an expert.

But once you let me show you how to measure for the right bra size and how to put it on the right way, your boobs will love you.

Old family secrets

I’ve known all about bras ever since I was 12 years old.  Not because I was so smart back then, but because that’s how old I was when I got boobs and my mother taught me all her secrets—how to find my bra size, and how to put it on the right way.

I always thought that all mothers taught their daughters about bras the same way that my mother taught me. But I found out through the years that most mothers didn’t have the right information to pass along.

Most mothers just don’t know about bras the way I do, the way my mother does.  What made my mother different was that she had some specialized knowledge that most other mothers didn’t have—and still don’t have.

I’m a tailor, my mother is a tailor and my grandmother was a tailor, working at her trade just about the time that the first modern bras came on the market. 

With her knowledge of how clothes are made, how fabric is cut to fit around the curves and shape of a woman’s body, it was easy for my grandmother to understand the art and science behind how bras were designed to work. 

"The bra Scylvia put me in changed my entire life. I’m not exaggerating. I wore Scylvia’s bra out of her shop and immediately went shopping. I was able to buy clothes I couldn’t wear before—halter tops, criss cross, racer back tanks. I send everyone I know to Scylvia, who I call the 'boob whisperer'." Jackie Tanenbaum, Phoenix, Arizona

And it’s not rocket science, it’s just the art
and science of clothing design and tailoring.  I
just don’t know why other “experts” haven’t been able to figure this out, but they haven’t.

That’s why most women go their entire life without ever knowing their correct bra size.  One of these women was so happy after I helped her with this problem that she gave
me a nickname I kind of like.

Well, maybe I am the "boob whisperer," because I can tell just by looking at a woman—no measuring at all—what bra size she is.  

CLICK HERE,
TO ASK ME WHAT YOUR true BRA SIZE IS.

OK, You put it on—
BUT did you put it on right?

There are 3 common ways to put on a bra.  The problem is—only one of these 3 ways is the right way to do it.  Yes, that’s absolutely true.

There is only 1 right way, and if you do not put on your bra this way, even if you have the right size, it won’t fit you 100% right.  I will tell you and show you this one and only right way.

"I look better now than I ever have in my clothes. It is such a good feeling to be supported and still look natural. My bra straps don’t pull on my shoulders anymore. This is a whole new world to me. I could never go back to my old bra size." L.E., Phoenix, Arizona

If you are small busted or have enhanced boobs and think you don’t need a bra, think again.  Just like the big boob gals, you have your own unique problems.

When it comes to bras, 90% of women are wearing the wrong size.  I’ve said this before, and it’s the only thing that all the “experts” get right.  What’s more, just about all of the women who are wearing the wrong size bra are way, way, way, way, WAY off the mark. I mean they're NOT EVEN CLOSE! 

Just about all of them are stunned when they see the size that I show them is right for them.  They don’t believe it at first—I see the disbelief in their eyes. 

But after I’ve shown them what size they should be in, and how to put it on, and they see for themselves and feel for themselves how much better it is than the bra they wore into my shop—even if they came in with a brand new bra—there’s no going back. 

If the “experts” don’t know how to measure correct bra size, how can you be expected to know yourself?

"I had never had a bra fitting before. I was very surprised when I found out my right size." Jenny Marion, Mosheim, Tennessee

"I was in Phoenix visiting my daughter and I went with her to Sylvia’s for some alterations. While I was there I saw that she had bras and I asked her to fit me. They were so comfortable, and I love that she keeps my size on file so I can call her or go online any time I need a new one." Ave Maria Perkins, Cooper City, Florida

"I was going to be a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding, and she chose strapless gowns for us to wear. Since I’m big busted, I couldn’t find a strapless bra at any of the 3 stores I went to before coming to Sylvia’s. The bra she put me in was amazing and very comfortable. Now I recommend Sylvia to all my busty friends." Dierdra Diggs, Glendale, Arizona

"I had no idea I was the size that Sylvia said I was. I’m very happy with the bras I bought, and I’ll be back for more." Amanda Kelly, Gilbert, Arizona

"I just love the way my new bras fit, and now that I know my true size, I have no problem finding it when I go shopping for a new bra." Rachel Cothran, Tucson, Arizona

"I was delighted with the bras I got from Sylvia, they were so comfortable. My friends are coming to visit after the holidays, and instead of taking them to the Grand Canyon, I’m taking them to Sylvia’s for a bra fitting. It will be the highlight of their trip." Joyce Peifer, Phoenix, Arizona

Get in on the Secret

Something that every woman needs to wear every day of her life should be simple and easy to understand.  There should be no mystery or guesswork involved at all.  And finding and knowing the size that’s right for you should be a snap.

Clothes are like that, rings are like that, and shoes are like that, but bras have never been like that, and that’s just not acceptable anymore, because now you have a choice.

Get in on the secret and spend the rest of your life looking better and feeling better than you ever have before.

Find out what it’s like when your bra makes you look like you just lost 10 pounds or more.

Find out what it’s like when your bra supports you like it should, eliminates your shoulder, neck and back pain, and makes you look better and your clothes fit better.

"My boobs have never been happier." Debi Tanenbaum, Phoenix, Arizona
