Marie Truelove, owner of Truelove states: “we are not saying Models are not real women, of course they are!

Stars finalists shine in local press
Stars Underline Best Shop Awards finalists The Little Bra Shop, based in Yarm, and Chantilly Lingerie in Rochdale have recently been featured in local press for their excellence in providing a great fitting service and educating local women. The Little Bra Shop owner Tracy Campbell spoke to local newspaper The Northern Echo about the astonishing number of women who still wear the wrong size bra, explaining “the mistake a lot of women make is getting measured in one shop and assuming the size will apply to every other shop, but styles, shops and brands vary hugely.”
