Our lingerie department is part of our Summer Sale, with us to 50% off all your favourite brands! 😍

When a bra fits perfectly you will feel like a goddess: the bra is comfortable when there’s no pinching or pain, it supports you weightlessly and creates a feminine silhouette. You will love wearing it! And maybe forget it’s even there. 👙

A lot of women do not feel this way. Surveys and studies reveal that most women tend to be wearing the wrong bra type or, more often than not the wrong bra size. We would like to make sure that you feel confident and comfortable in every bra you wear 🙌

Browns offer FREE Bra Fitting in all of our Stores, York, Helmsley, Beverley & Gainsborough. 😍
