One of the primary reasons that the owners of "Bare Moxie" chose to open their business was to HELP Women!! 
  • HELP them, "Find Their Curve" in beautiful, stylish bras that fit well!
  • HELP them, reduce aches & pains from wearing ill-fitting undergarments that don't provide proper support
  • HELP them, look and feel beautiful no matter what their size or style requirements. 
  • HELP them understand that Mastectomy bras can be delicate and lovely, sports bras can SUPPORT larger cup sizes with ease, there is something for everyone here!
  • HELP them feel EMPOWERED...STRONG....COURAGEOUS!!

Last night, we partnered with the organization "CUPS" to really focus on ALL of the ways we can HELP women in need!  Participating in a bra fitting extravaganza at "Hesed House" in Aurora - just a week before Christmas - really was like playing "Santa" for these ladies and young women!  We had a large assortment of new & like-new bras that had been collected by the CUPS organization and "Bare Moxie" donated new bra stock for the larger sizes that CUPS had not received.  Our joint mission was to make sure that EVERY WOMAN who wanted and needed a new bra received one that fit her extraordinarily well!!  What we didn't expect was to MAKE HISTORY!!

This was the VERY FIRST "bra fitting" event in the history of Hesed House and the event was nothing short of amazing!  If you doubt for one moment that "A Bra Can Change Your Life..." you should have been there!!  After these 26 ladies were fitted by "Bare Moxie" in new bras they got a little spring in their step, a little confidence boost, a BIG smile on their faces AND a lift in body (and spirit)!!  ALL OF THIS FROM A BRA!!

Some of the women we saw were just in need of some NEW bras - their old ones were worn out and loose, not providing proper support.  BUT most of the women we saw were just trying to make the bra that they had work - and were SEVERAL sizes off in their proper fit.  One of the ladies we helped last night had actually "made" a bra out of some leftover materials and it was a "bra" in her mind only - not providing any support or comfort at all.  When we fitted her for one of our bras (from "Elila") she was DELIGHTED - absolutely thrilled to have a "real" bra that fit so well.  THIS.....THIS....is why we do what we do!

We encourage you to think twice when next cleaning out your lingerie drawer - don't throw away those gently used bras, stop into "Bare Moxie" and donate them to women in need.  Such a small act of kindness can make such an incredible difference to these wonderful women!

Holiday Lingerie Gift Giving 101 - Delight Her With Comfort!

If you're the type of "Santa" to think "Mrs. Claus" might enjoy some luxurious new lingerie in her stocking....let us help you avoid some of the mis-steps that can happen when gifting intimate apparel.

One of the most important things to remember when gifting lingerie is that it's all in the presentation!!  You need to go into your shopping experience with a very clear vision of the gift you are seeking.  There are all kinds of factors that play into picking the right lingerie - including color, fabric, fashion, function and above all....FIT!

No matter how pretty the package is wrapped - if you gift lingerie that is not the proper size; you have stepped into "bad gift" territory.  If you "guess" her size to be too small....she may start thinking, "Wow, he thinks I am much smaller than I am" and if you "guess" her size to be too large....she may start thinking, "Wow, how big does he think I am anyway?"  NEITHER is producing any positive effects for her self-confidence.  Some would encourage you to do some research before buying...rummage through her intimate drawer - seeking tags with crucial sizing information.  Unfortunately, this approach - along with the dreaded, "She's about your size...." - is a dangerous one:

1.  What if you get caught?!?  If you are in a relatively new relationship - she may very well wonder WHY you are rummaging through her personal things.  This is hardly helpful in building trust.
2.  What if the sizes she has in her drawer varies....which one is right?  Actually, since 80% of all women wear the wrong size bra (through no fault of their own), chances are HIGH that she has a variety of sizes, because she is continuing to search for a comfortable fit.  This may mean that NONE of her bras are the right size.  If, however, she has been professionally fitted and is wearing the proper size - sizing can still vary quite a bit between brands, US/UK/German bras, and styles.  Using this methodology is an "educated guess" at best.
3.  When considering a matching bra and panty set - try to stick with what you know.  If she has never worn a thong in front of you (and has verbalized no urge to do so) - picking a set with a thong may not be a good gift.  Remember, picking something that is visually appealing to you is fabulous BUT it is HER gift, so make sure it's something she will enjoy wearing!
4.  Color matters.  This is one of the easiest things to get right.  You spend time with her and know the colors that she tends to gravitate toward, to play it safe - stick with those.  If she wears a lot of black, you really have a "get out of jail free" card - ANY color can be worn under black/dark colors; so choose a color that you feel would make her eyes "pop", look great with her skin tone, etc.
5.  When in doubt, pair a Gift Certificate - for a reputable lingerie boutique - with a fun gift she can use right away (such as a silk robe, scented candle, jewelry, perfume, etc.)  Giving her money to spend on herself (guilt-free) is a FUN gift alternative.  Or, suggest you make a day of it and go along  to the boutique for her fitting, give your opinion on lingerie options she tries, take her out for lunch or dinner and just ENJOY a day together.

A gift of lingerie should make a woman feel desired, coveted, cherished, and special.  GREAT FITTING lingerie will boost a woman's self-confidence, raise her posture, and improve her general outlook (YES, a comfortable bra can do all that!).  Enjoy giving the gift of comfort this Holiday Season!
