Welcome to The Dress Up Mom.
Because I invest in quality bras and take really good care of them, I have not had to
buy a new bra for about six years.
But, it is time now to go and get a couple of new ones.
We're going to go today and get a bra fitting and do some bra shopping.
But first, thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it.

So, like I said, probably about ten years ago, I started really investing in some good
bras.
Going and getting fitted, buying some good bras and taking really good care of them,
and they last a really long time if you do that.
And, they really are the foundation of everything you wear and just make everything look better
and you feel better wearing them.
The place I went to before is no longer in business and I studied online and looked online
and found this wonderful shop in San Diego called Kapreeza, where they specialize in
bra fittings, they have all European quality nice bras.
So, I'm going to go in there today and speak to the owner Renata, get a little bit of a
lesson in bras and fitting and what to look for and how to do it, how to take care of
them and pick up some new bras.
So, I'll take you along with me.
[Music]
Rajka: Here we are at Kapreeza, with the delightful Renata, the owner of this shop.
Renata: Welcome, welcome to Kapreeza.
Rajka: Thank you so much, so happy to do this and learn a lot today from you.
Renata: I'm very excited.
Rajka: So, tell me a little bit about the shop.
Why you opened it, what your philos--I know you're passionate about it.
Renata: Yes.
Rajka: So, tell us what this is all about and why this is important to you.
Renata: Well, my passion started several years ago when I moved to the United States and
starting living in San Diego.
And, after a while I got disappointed with selection of bras and underwear and lingerie.
So, obviously everybody goes to the mall and buys the same things and then after a while
it's like, "Oh, they look the same, they look the same."
So, having a little bit of background in fashion and design, so I approached European manufacturers
and I started working with them directly and built Kapreeza as something new for San Diegans
to try.
Rajka: That's great, yeah, I love that kind of thing.
So, we're going to start with my bras and I talked to people about how I was fortunate
to find European bras in the past.
They're such great quality and they last a long time, but it's time to get some new
ones.
So, tell us about why is it so important, first off, to get your undergarments right?
I mean they're the foundation really of what we wear and what we do.
Renata: Absolutely, absolutely.
Well, it's important because you want to feel comfortable all-day long.
But, not only you want to feel comfortable, you also want to feel beautiful.
So, I work with brands that make not only comfortable, but beautiful bras.
And they're made to last, so you can you can wear them the entire day.
Most of them are lined with cotton, so they are comfortable against your skin.
A lot of them have a lot of adjustable little tricks that I will show you later.
Yeah, this is very important.
And, also it doesn't matter if A cup or J cup, you know, women of all sizes and shapes
really need to have that feeling of feeling beautiful and comfortable.
Our biggest thing is to provide a wide variety of sizes for women.
Rajka: Yeah.
Well, as I was saying, I'm not really that curvy and I've always been sort of smaller
breasted.
Renata: But that doesn't matter, that's okay.
Rajka: And I know other women that are very large breasted have trouble too, so--
Renata: Absolutely.
Rajka: --for me that's why I really need to come to places.
I personally think everybody should try to find a place like this in their local market,
if they can.
What is the good way?
I just Googled and put bra fittings and quality bras and was able to find you here.
And you're getting a website started, so--
Renata: Yes.
Rajka: --hopefully people will be able to buy from you that way.
But, how would you suggest that people find places like this in their local markets?
Renata: Well, like I said, finding what's in your neighborhood is also helpful, so Google
is a great thing, Yelp is a great thing.
You know, you go research what's in the neighborhood or what's new in town.
Things always change.
One thing I wanted to mention, is buying bras in person versus online is a completely different
experience.
Rajka: Yeah.
Renata: So, I strongly, strongly advise ladies to make an appointment, come in the store,
take time, because fitting is irreplaceable.
Because--and here's another thing, it's not only about the size, it's also about
the shape, which is also hard to buy.
When you're buying online, you just see pictures, you know, but every body is different,
every woman is different.
The feeling, how it feels against your skin, against your body, how the curvature works
around your breasts, how's the tension in the back, how are the straps.
This is why we have bra fitting specialists.
They can literally look at you, because they've seen so many bodies and they can fit you in
a matter of minutes into a proper shape, proper size and you will walk away with something
that fits great, you will feel confident, you will feel beautiful, and hey, it's a
win-win situation.
Buying online, yes it's a possibility, but there's higher risk that you're going
to exchange, return, exchange return.
I, as a professional, have done it myself believe it or not.
Rajka: Yeah, me too.
Renata: I do it just to see how that works for other customers.
And every time, no matter how much I think I know my size and when I order from different
manufacturers or different brands, I end of exchanging a lot of them because each brand
has its own little bit sizing measuring system.
So, it's not all uniform with all brands.
Just because you learn your size that fits for one brand doesn't always necessary work
for a different one.
Rajka: So, here's an example of a unique kind of a bra that you can get here.
Let's have you tell us about this bra Renata.
It looks beautiful by the way.
Renata: Yeah, thank you, thank you.
This is one of the best selling bras we have for women up to D cup.
And this is--I'll tell you why it's different.
When you look on the inside, not only it's lined with cotton, but it also has these pockets
where you can remove the insert or put the insert in.
So, this helps women who are between the sizes or fluctuate different time of the month.
You can put things in, take things out and the bra still fits.
This is one of the specialty things we carry at Kapreeza that you really can't find anywhere
else.
Rajka: Oh my God, and it's beautiful.
It does look like it would be really comfortable as well.
So, that's is just gorgeous.
Gorgeous.
I can't see, what is the price there?
Renata: $79.99.
Rajka: Oh my God, that's a great price.
Renata: Yeah.
We have everything from medium to high-end, so most of our customers what you will pay
in our store for bras is very comparable for what you will pay for let's say products
made in China.
Rajka: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Renata: But our stuff will last you a lot longer.
Rajka: Oh my gosh.
Renata: We focus on design and style.
Rajka: This is beautiful.
I'm kind of seeing this possibly in my future.
Renata: Good.
Rajka: And then another thing that I don't really like my bra straps to show, so I'm
guessing that you have options for people where you can have like strapless or make
it what is that, like a T-back, or no?
What's your thought on that?
Renata: Well, let me, let me, well let me show you what we have.
Actually this bra as well has removable straps.
Rajka: Oh my gosh.
Renata: This does not mean completely you can wear this particular bra strapless, however,
no only bra straps are beautiful on these bras--
Rajka: They are nice.
Renata: --so if it does a little peek-a-boo it's not the end of the day.
Rajka: Okay.
Renata: But you can substitute it for any other color straps.
For example, if you don't want to purchase ten bras, you want to get basic colors, you
can also get different color straps and you just swap them.
Rajka: Perfect.
Renata: So, then it looks like you're wearing the same bra with a different outfit.
Rajka: Different outfits.
That's very cool.
Oh, mix and match.
Renata: You can also do the crisscross in the back for the racer back--
Rajka: With these?
Renata: With these.
Or, the halter top, you would just adjust one strap that goes around between these two
and you're back will be open.
Rajka: Oh my gosh, so one bra and you can wear it multiple ways?
Renata: Yes.
Rajka: Ah, I live this.
How many bras--so, if you're really taking good care of them--I heard somewhere you're
not supposed to wear the same bra back-to-back to days, give your bra like a rest in between
days.
Renata: Technically, like anything else, if you have pair of shoes and you wear it every
single day, it's going wear off a lot sooner.
Rajka: Mm-hmm.
Renata: So, bras do have elasticity, so, if you do wear the same bra every single day,
the elasticity will eventually lose its integrity.
However, if you do have a few bras and you rotate them and you take proper care, like
you hand wash with the proper detergent, that helps the elasticity to retract, so this bra
will last you for a few years.
Rajka: Yeah, that's awesome.
When you talk about taking good care of them, I do this.
This is what I've been doing too.
I take it you probably have some good gentle detergent that you sell here.
Renata: Yes, it's very simple.
And most women overthink about, "Oh, my goodness, hand washing bras."
Rajka: Super easy.
Renata: It's really so simple.
Rajka: I'm going to do a whole episode on that too.
Renata: Yay!
Rajka: I'm going to buy all your stuff and I'll show people how easy it is.
I've been doing it for years now.
Renata: It takes minutes.
Rajka: It takes minutes.
Renata: And literally no effort.
Rajka: No effort.
And you do it maybe, depending on how many bras you have, I do it every couple of weeks
to a month.
Renata: Yes, you can do multiple bras at a time.
Rajka: And all at the same time and it works out really well.
I'm going to get a bra fitting.
I'm very comfortable with that, I'm guessing maybe some people are like, "Oh no, what's
that going to be like?"
So, what should I expect here in my bra fitting?
Renata: Well, believe it or not, some women do get nervous and somewhat with uncomfortable
with bra fitting.
Because, I understand, it's personal body parts and you're walking into a store and
you have to trust a stranger that fits you.
Rajka: Right.
Renata: But I assure you, at Kapreeza we hire specialists who not only can help you in privacy,
but they can also take time to understand your needs.
So, they'll ask you questions like, what you like or don't like about your current
bras right now.
What are you're issues?
What are you trying to correct?
Or, do you want something every day, do you want something special occasion?
They'll listen to you and understand what you want.
And then, based on that, because they know the inventory very well, so they will bring
you a lot of suggestions, a lot of styles.
Of course, you're welcome to browse the store yourself, however, specialists do know
it, that's why they're here.
So, they will keep bringing you styles, so you can try as many pieces as you want.
And, as you're trying them on, they will be listening to your comments, so please be
vocal and express what you don't like about each fitting, or what you like about each
bra.
Because it helps them to understand.
Each customer is different, so we can't know it all, but we can focus on each person
individually and help that person to meet their needs.
Rajka: Okay.
Will there be a measuring tape in the beginning?
Renata: Believe it or not, no more measuring tapes.
Somebody who's been doing it for a living for years and years, who knows the brands,
who knows the styles, literally can fit you from the first or second bra.
Because the key is to listen to you.
We can measure you all day long, however, seeing it on a person is priceless.
This is why measuring online never works.
If you order a bra on line based on a measuring tape, guess what, most of the it's like,
"Oh my goodness, it doesn't fit" because breasts are soft tissue.
They move around.
It's hard to get them measured with a tape properly, so shape is very important.
That's why we want to see it on you.
Rajka: Good.
And I almost went, I almost went online before I found you because I didn't know what to
do and I need a new bra, so I'm glad I'm here.
So, I'm going to go and get my fitting in a few minutes, try on some bras, I'm not
going to show you the bras on me, but I'll show you what I bought and why.
[Music]
So, I ended up getting some really great basic, but beautiful bras in different colors and
different styles.
So, I'm super excited.
[Music]
Well, I had a great time.
I know I'm going to be using these bras for years to come.
I will take good care of them.
I'll show you guys how to do that on another episode.
Thank you so much Renata, I really appreciate it.
Renata: Oh, such a pleasure.
Thank you.
If you are in San Diego, come to Kapreeza, I'm going to put all the information down
here.
If you come and visit San Diego, come and check it out, it's here near downtown in
Little Italy.
Very fun, fun place.
Just a great experience, I really liked it.
The prices are right, the people are great.
So, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for watching, I do really appreciate it.
Until next time, have fun and dress it up a little.
