Meet The Girls: Katherine

Why are you with The Girls? From the moment I put my first bra on, nothing seemed to work. I was falling out of the top AND the bottom. My body was always unproportional - small waist, big chest - so none of my clothes ever fit properly. About 12 years ago, I had a reduction and went right back to wearing the same size I had always worn (nuts, I know, lol), but even though I still spent all day tugging the back down, the front seemed better. After having children, I underwent yet another change in shape....ugh, lol. When I started working at The Girls, I immediately realized that I was wearing a band 6" too big for me and needed a letter I didn't even know existed. Everything changed. My clothes fit, my shape was more defined, my confidence came out of hiding. I am now a self-proclaimed bra addict and am so much more comfortable in my own skin. Everyday now, when I look in the mirror, I embrace the curves I used to want to hide :)

What is your favorite part about being with The Girls? Giving women a new attitude toward themselves. I feel so much pride and excitement when I see a woman's self confidence change in a mere half hour fitting.

Tell us about yourself (kids, hobbies, activities…what do you do outside of the store?) I am a self-described nerd - strange and quirky are my favourite characteristics in myself and others. I am the mother of 2 amazing little people who always keep me on my toes. When I am alone, I love to paint. It's the most freeing way to express any one of the million thoughts I have dancing in my head at any given time, lol! I am a sugar junkie and have never met a food I didn't like :) I'm learning to try new things and am extremely stubborn. I live to surround myself with my amazing people and my absolute favourite thing to do is laugh.

What is your secret skill or superhero power? To find humour in strange and sometimes inappropriate places (I get it from my Dad, lol)

What advice or tip can you give other women? You are who you are. You were given the body, mind and soul you were meant to have. Instead of spending all your time comparing yourself to others and trying to conform, be unique. As Marilyn Monroe once said "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring" ;)
