Busted Ladies Lingerie - Sherry Gummow

 

Never having what would be considered a “model’s,” or the “perfect figure,” I have worn a variety of Bra sizes over my lifetime. Weight gain & loss, having children, and just the process of aging have left my breasts in a less than perfect shape. Over the years, “fittings” at department type stores left me feeling that I had purchased the “best of the worst” of what was offered in the size I was supposed to be. I had experienced more than my fair share of “bra creep,” and what I now call “breast sneak,” the dreadful feeling of your breasts coming out the bottom of your bra when you put your hands above your head.

I had heard of “bra fittings,” and in early 2008, I took the plunge. I drove to the City and waited for 2.5 hours before they were able to squeeze me in for a fitting. I wasn’t surprised to learn I was wearing the wrong size for proper support, and felt quite proud of myself upon learning that I was an “F” cup. My breasts were quite happy that I was finally giving them the support they needed; I was sold on proper fitting bras.

While showing our Morgan horses, I watched many women (me included) dismount from their horse in pain, due to their breasts being less than properly supported. I started wearing one of my “fitted bras” under a sports bra, to give both shape & support. While watching classes from the rail, the idea for a new business was planted in my mind. After discussions with friends, and my husband, we decided to take the plunge in the fall of 2008, and “Busted” became reality.

Our goal is to provide women not only with great fit, but also, an “uplifting experience,” when they visit Busted. Our Staff give each woman individualized attention, in order to provide the best fit possible. We currently carry from sizes 28AA to 50L, from a variety of world reknown manufacturers.  This allows us to best serve the broadest range of figure types. Special orders are also available.

To round out the lingerie department, we have added a Mens’ Corner, and a range of sleepwear for both sexes, ranging from “playful” to elegant.  

My husband, Keith, and I, look forward to a long & successful business life in Ponoka; it’s a great place to call home. My staff and I invite you to stop by & see for yourself what an “Uplifting Experience” a bra fitting can be.
