Why are you with The Girls? 

Victoria West Photography

Being a curvy girl I always had such a hard time finding clothing that fit just right. Bras were a big frustration for me: always ugly and never comfortable. I never felt good about what I was wearing or myself. The moment I tried the first good fitting bra on literally changed my life. Now you can see my hourglass figure because the girls are where they should be. Clothes started fitting me better and I found my self-esteem. It seems funny to say but a good fitting bra changed my life. I went from a wall flower to an outgoing confident woman all because I now feel beautiful wearing beautiful garments.

What is your favorite part about being with The Girls? 

Sharing that life changing moment with other women who have had the same frustration I did. Seeing the switch when they start seeing themselves differently and like what they see. I remember vividly the day a young client came in with her head down and shoulders drooped. But when she left she was twirling in her prom dress with her face beaming! That is why I do this.

Tell us about yourself (kids, hobbies, activities…what do you do outside of the store?)

I’m a traveler, a poet, and recent exercise addict. I love to try and experience new things. I’m addicted to coffee (black). And I’m close to my family.

What is your secret skill or superhero power? 

Powerful Internal Voice: I can convince myself of anything.

What advice or tip can you give other women?

As Will Smith says, nurture the fire within you and never apologize for who you were born to be. And nothing is like owning a matching bra and panty set. Giggle.
