New Products

The man who said...

"Everything that can be invented has been invented"

...never wore a bra.

Sassybax smooths a woman’s silhouette, eliminates the possibility of bra bulge and provides exceptional comfort as it slims the back and torso.

      

Elila was created by a group of people who have many years of experience in the intimate apparel industry. We understand the need for superior support and added comfort, as well as appearance and fit. We appreciate that our products have to be affordable, the value has to be tangible and the sizing needs to be consistent.

Our customer is the woman who chooses intimate apparel that is specially engineered to provide her with individual levels of support and comfort, so she can spend more of her time focusing on her desires and accomplishing what she believes in.

In pursuit of these goals we have created an attractive range of products that we hope will satisfy our customers needs, day after day.
We want the women who wear our products to feel so …..

Aviana is the result of a vision. A vision to create a collection of bras exclusively full-figured, with all the sophistication of European design and the comfort women deserve. Supportive and stylish, Aviana was designed from the beginning to fit in cup sizes D and up. 

Our size range: in Bands from 32 to 56 and Cups from D to M.

Most full-figure bras are merely "sized-up" versions of an existing bra style. Aviana, however, is the original full-figure bra. Thanks to the careful study of body types and bra fittings, women finally have a bra that "feels like it was made for them".

In Honor Of has a place to write your loved ones name on the ribbon as a show of support.

I have been working hard on a project since 2003 that would give women that are newly diagnosed with breast cancer wisdom, hope and good practical advice. Every woman is in shock, saddened by her diagnosis and silently screaming for help. I have heard that scream and I wanted to do something about making this terrible trek less frightening.

Today that project will finally find its way into the hands of women facing this journey. A Fitting Place has teamed up with the Hastings Breast Cancer Support Group to offer “Voices of Hope and Comfort.” A DVD project designed to reach out to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The DVD will address common fears and emotional challenges, helping the viewer feel more familiar with the changes she is facing and comfort in what lies ahead. She can watch this comforting presentation in the comfort of her own home, choosing to share it with her loved ones or keeping it private.

The Hastings Breast Cancer Support Group has a thirteen-year track record of reaching out to area women to help address the emotional issues that are so crucial to healing. We have found that the time of diagnosis is the most terrifying moment for most of us, a time of isolation and despair. Until the huge emotional challenge is addressed, it is extremely difficult for the patient to engage in thoughtful decision-making. Our DVD is not clinical in nature, but personal, meant to acknowledge and support women and help them move forward. We wish to reach out to women by sharing in a visual format, highly personal stories and images of women who have undergone or are undergoing the same journey and emerging with a sense of hope.

This DVD project is the first of what could prove a highly effective series of short DVDs that would address the emotional needs of the breast cancer patient as well as her family and friends at various stages of the journey. We are hoping to develop an additional DVD just for kids and young adults. When mom hurts the whole family hurts, and the little ones feel the emotions but don’t always know how to work through it, talk about it or cannot stop feeling that their world is rocking out of control.

We have reached out to area businesses and their financial response has been overwhelming. We are writing grants, seeking out foundations with the hope we will be able to find ongoing funding for this long term goal.

Where can you find this DVD?

The DVD will be available at most area hospitals and clinics early spring 2010!

Ask your doctor if they are providing our free to the patient DVD called “Voices of Hope and Comfort”. If they are not providing our DVD please have them contact the Hastings Support Group: 651-437-5767 or A Fitting Place 651-480-3578 for their free copies. You can also contact the Hastings Breast Cancer Support Group president: Claire Mathews at 651-437-5767 for your free copy and further information on how you can help us reach out to as many women as possible.
