The Great Bra Adventure

Tweet

I'm not exaggerating when I say that my mother-in-law had 95 bras when we moved her from her apartment to the Alzheimer's Memory Care Facility. We were able to talk her out of about half of them, but she still had 40 when she moved into nursing care. For any of you gentlemen out there who are wondering - NO, no woman needs 40 bras. So she's lost some weight (not since going into the Memory Care Unit, before that) and she's also 83 and womens' breasts change, so her bras weren't fitting her correctly. MIL went with her sister-in-law twice to buy bras, but both times she didn't try them on and bought the totally wrong size and cut off the tags and lost the receipt so we weren't able to return them. They were also plunging push-up bras for a woman of 30, not 83. We donated them. She's out about $120 worth of bras at least. So we put our foot down and told her she was going to have to get professionally bra fit by the experts in the intimates department at Macy's. Well, she agreed to it. Now we finally know her proper size and style to fit her best. So far we've bought 3 bras for her in the right size and she gave up 15 of her 40 old bras. Our goal is to weed out more of the old bras that aren't the right size or style. But this has definitely been "The Great Bra Adventure" with her.
