Caroline, the owner of De Bora of Exeter: ''We are an independent lingerie and swimwear boutique that opened in 1984 in Exeter, Devon. De Bora offers a by-appointment fitting service which strives to provide for a wide range of bespoke needs from everyday comfort to nursing, post-surgery and mastectomy. Over the years, we have encountered many ladies that suffer from sensitive skin and skin conditions which can make wearing a bra uncomfortable. So we are delighted to offer a solution by stocking Julie May Lingerie.''

Fitting Service:

Fittings are arranged by appointment and usually last about half an hour. You are, of course always welcome to drop into the shop. A complimentary bra re-shaping service is offered every twelve weeks. By reshaping the wires and having straps refitted, you can maintain the optimum comfort and prolong the life of your bra.

Sarah, the director of Mirari Lingerie: “I thoroughly enjoy my job at Mirari; it never surprises me how many women are wearing the wrong size bra; it’s very rewarding fitting them into the right size and seeing the difference it makes to their posture and confidence”.

Mary, also a Director at Mirari Lingerie: “I started working at Mirari when it opened 17 years ago, so when my daughter and I decided to take on the business, I already knew a lot about the industry. We work well together, and I find that Sarah is now the one teaching me new things every day!”
