Inside Story celebrates 6 years in business Inside Story, nestled within beautiful Downtown Oakville, specializes in customized European bra fittings. "We believe all women deserve to wear bras that are supportive and comfortable," owner Lida Lisney says. Having recently celebrated the store's sixth anniversary, Lisney can't say enough about how important customer service has been to the success of Inside Story. "The staff is consistently trained in fittings and has vast product knowledge," she says. "We are so grateful to our customers." Known as a destination in itself, Inside Story offers a wide range of bras to fit all body types and sizes from AA to I cups and 28 to 46 inch back widths. "There are many factors that contribute to a good fit, the most important being of course your body shape." Inside Story specialized in the accurate art of `breastimation,' a personalized sizing technique done without a measuring tape. "A huge percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra. For the fuller-busted women, a the correct fit makes one look like they are actually smaller in the bust, as well as giving the impression that they have lost at least 5 to 10 pounds," she explains. "We are known for our non-surgical uplifts." At Inside Story, they are very passionate about the tremendous positive feelings of comfort, support, physical and mental uplift their customers experience after being professionally fitted. "We are in the business of making people feel better," Lisney says. Other than offering a wide variety of bras, nightwear and swimwear, Inside Story is the only store in North America that has had the Prima Donna and Chantelle lines invest to have a store within her store. Inside Story is also the perfect location for a private girl's night out party. Offering parties for just about any occasion, the Inside Story staff will put together a night you won't soon forget. For information on how you can get your own breastimation, call Inside Story at 905-845-1210, visit them online at www.insidestory.ca, or drop by the store located at 107 Reynolds Street.
