Transition Time

For trans teens

Whether or not you are old enough to be having hormone treatment, choosing your first bra is extremely important. It’s even more important to start having professional bra fittings. At Gabriella Sandham we offer a professional fitting service for just £20 for each new customer. And when you purchase a bra from our shop or website, 15% will be deducted from the price.

We offer a confidential, sympathetic and discrete fitting service to all trans teens who are aged 16 or over, with ID, although we also welcome those who are younger than 16 as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. While a bra may not be essential for the younger trans teen, the purchase of this essentially feminine garment is an important milestone.

There will be many changes to your body at this time so you should be measured at least three times a year while these changes are taking place.

The ideal first bra is a simple T-shirt style without underwiring and with plenty of support for the growing breast tissue. Wearing the correct bra during this period of change is important. Choose a couple of suitable bras in basic colours.

The bra brands we would recommend include Boobs and Bloomers, Chantelle or Marie Jo.

At some point, when you feel comfortable, you can start thinking about some of the pretty, feminine bras that will reflect the person you want to be.

Returning customers will not be charged the initial £20 fee.

 

For trans adults

With the changes your body experiences after transitioning, it’s vital that you have regular bra fittings. At Gabriella Sandham we offer a professional fitting service for just £20 for each new customer. And when you purchase a bra from our shop or website, 15% will be deducted from the price.

If you’re not used to wearing a bra, the whole issue can be a minefield. So that’s where we come in. We offer a confidential, sympathetic and discrete fitting service to all trans adults. It can take a while for you to decide what style of bra suits your body shape and your personality and helping you make the best choices is all part of our service.

When starting out on your journey to becoming a confident and attractive woman, we recommend that your lingerie wardrobe should consist of a basic wardrobe of four or five bras. These should include T-shirt bras in black, white and nude, plus a couple of every day bras in the style that best suits you. With regular fittings a few times a year, you’ll become comfortable with wearing bras and can splash out on some of our gorgeous luxury brands which will really help you express your personal style.

Returning customers will not be charged the initial £20 fee.
