The Fitting Touch was a life long dream of Janet Hall-Holcomb’s after spending more than twenty years in the lingerie industry. After spending time as a buyer, Janet found a sales representative job for a unique company in the U.K. that trained her in corsetry fit and taught her unique sizing.
As 1 of 3 U.S. representatives, Janet traveled a third of the country and promoted the uniqueness of their product and the importance of proper bra fit. After five years with the company and substantial growth, Janet felt the need to help in her own hometown and state so that she could make a daily difference in the lives of women.
On April 1, 2004, The Fitting Touch, Inc. opened and Janet began making her own dreams and hopes for others come true. The Fitting Touch is a unique lingerie store…not the typical ‘just something pretty to sleep in’ but with its main focus on Bra Fit! In today’s society, 85% of most women wear the incorrect size bra. Most are wearing bands that are too large for their frame and cups too small to support their breasts. Having a properly fitted bra can make such a change in a woman’s appearance and her self esteem.
The Fitting Touch carries a wide selection of beautifully engineered bras. All Fit Specialists have been trained on proper fit and stay well educated on the fit of different styles as well. Along with lingerie, The Fitting Touch carries loungewear and bathing suits. The European sizes offered on our products ensure the best fit possible for all sizes. The Fitting Touch is the place to go for great customer service. Our beautifully crafted products are functional in their elegance. The Fitting Touch is dedicated to using a woman’s inner beauty to create life changes!
Our business is focused on bra fit. We specialize in the custom fit of foundations ranging from, average, full buste, and full figure. We carry a wide selection of bras ranging in cup size from AA to JJ and band sizes 30 to 52.
The Importance of Proper Bra Fit
• Without proper support, one of the greatest laws of the Universe takes place....Gravity.
• The delicate tissue begins to roll of the chest wall, over the pectoral muscle, and displaces itself under the arm and in the midriff area.
• A pendulous look begins to develop and blocks proper blood flow to the breast.
• The weight of the breast pulling on the neck can cause diminished blood flow to the head and headaches may occur.
• The effects of weight and gravity will also affect posture.
Poor fit will lead one to shorten straps for more support.
• This will lead to the back of the bra riding up in painful grooves in the shoulders.
As bra fit specialists we work closely with several plastic surgeons and help with the care of their patients by providing proper fit and garments that aid in their healing process.
