If the Bra Fits

In this town, when someone says “Nice pair!” to a woman, it may not be referring to her Jimmy Choos.

But even the most well-endowed among us has problems. Those, er, “new” to the world of C-cup-and-larger lingerie will quickly discover what naturally busty gals learned long ago: It’s a bitch to find a supportive, attractive, nicely fitting brassiere. For the real deal, you need to see Lisa Norman.

Nestled among the fancy shops on Montana, Norman’s no-frills undergarment boutique has been providing support to busty women (including celebrities, but you’ll never hear Lisa say that) since 1978. Oh, sure, she carries high-end designers like Aubade, Ripcosa, and Chantelle. But her specialty is altering brassieres for the perfect, individualized fit. You see, Lisa understands that no two sets of ta-tas are alike (even when they come from the same surgeon), and each woman’s breasts need special, customized attention.

After all, they’re not just boobs. They’re an investment.
