This course provided me with knowledge and confidence to know how to not only to measure, but more importantly, how to correctly fit someone in the correct bra. Very enjoyable course and covers a lot!
I signed up for this course a little nervous and did not know what to expect, especially with it being an online course. Little did I know, that I learnt so much, not only for the confidence in providing this service commercially, but for my own personal use. It has honestly made me want to carry a tape measure with me and help people wear the right bra and have the confident to embrace their own body shape.
We found the Foundation bra fitting course with Intimate Apparel very insightful and detailed and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for in depth and helpful information and how to apply what you learn into your business.
I attended the Foundation Bra Fitting Course as the first step in building a semi-custom bra fitting atelier. Coming in as a complete beginner, I wanted a solid technical foundation before working with a pattern maker and developing my own fitting protocol.
The course delivered well on the fundamentals. The anatomy and history content was genuinely engaging and gave me language and context I can use directly in customer conversations. The fitting sequence, measurement methodology, and body type framework were clearly taught and practically demonstrated. Allison is an excellent instructor: knowledgeable, warm, and credible.
Celine Strypsteen
I really enjoyed the course. The training was a blend of theory and prctical components. This allowed for a much deeper understanding of everything which goes into fitting the perfect bra..spoiler: there’s loads more than you realise! Highly recommended.
Roz Newman
Everything was well presented, very clear and very interesting.
Learning how to take measurements for swimsuits and body shapers was completely new to me, and I found it especially helpful. I also received a very useful manual, and I plan to review every topic in more detail later.
Overall, this kind of information is extremely valuable and helps sales assistants feel more knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend it!
Laura Karloniene
The Foundation bra fitting course delivered everything I expected and more. Allison, the trainer, was exellent. She knows, really knows her subject and paid attention in making sure I had everything I needed. She went over and above expectations and it was a pleasure learning from her.

I learned so much on the Foundation bra fittng course. The information was thoughfully presented and so incredibly informative. Though I still have a lot to learn as I am new to the bra world, I feel much more confident.
Amy McGuire, USA
I attended the Virtual Post Surgery Bra fitting course and would highly recommend it. We were talked through the surgery process as well as talking to a lady who had undergone breast surgery. This part was so very valuable..
Chloe Malby, Leicestershire
If you are wanting to learn how to fit or just get knowledge on bras and body shapes this is a great course. Allison is a great teacher and includes everyone. I would definitely recommend the foundation bra fitting course.
Yasmin Read, Chichester
After an extended amount of research, I couldn’t find too many bra fitting courses despite the billion-dollar industry. Not only did IAC recognize the need for such courses, they have mastered them as well.
I was completely drawn in by the welcomeness, excitement and transparency of liked-minded entrepreneurs in the lingerie industry. The willingness to share industry information to newcomers and veterans alike. Allison made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. Her profound resume and extensive subject knowledge she was able to answer various questions that are often omitted in other bra fitting courses. It pleased me that Allison was not brand bias!
Thank you, IAC, for creating the opportunity to join the industry
Lynn Williams, USA
I specifically searched for the online bra fitting course and found this one. And
this was even better experience as I expected. I appreciate the atmosphere and the
possibility to ask all my questions. Also very many things were new for me.
Thank you!
Helena Bormane, Latvia
The course was really informative and helpful. Alison was really engaging, asking questions throughout to make sure we were paying attention or needed anything else explaining. The practical fitting part was extremely helpful, considering both the fitter and the customer.
Lizzie Gordon
As the founder of a new start up swimwear brand I enrolled on the Foundation Bra Fitting Course to be able to advise my future customers how to correctly choose their size of swimwear. Allison who delivered the course was extremely knowledgeable and personable and I felt completely at ease asking questions. The content was very interesting, informative and clearly communicated. The history of the bra was also fascinating and nice to know. I would happily recommend this course and this company to anyone.
Kate Lightfoot

Emily Hodges
I am an independent wardrobe consultant and style coach, and emphasise the importance of well-fitting foundation garments with all of my women clients. It is the first item we shop for during private shopping sessions. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to fine-tune my process and expand my knowledge through the online bra fitting course with Intimate Apparel Consultancy, so that I can give my clients the best possible experience from start to finish.
Liz Thogerson
I’ve had the desire to learn about bra fitting and bras for a long time now but my country does not offer this type of education. Looking on LinkedIn, I found an expert woman on this topic who had founded her own company. Down on her educational information she listed Intimate Apparel Consultancy as her school, and that is how I started on my journey to find out exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this course!
Megan Salguero, Guatemala
I found the Foundation bra fitting course to be very comprehensive and informational. Alison has impressive experience in the industry and amazing techniques for measuring and fitting. I have gained great tools to succeed in my business.
Camelia Crisan New Zealand
I found the course an eye opening to the lingerie industry and very relevant to me personally and to my business to be. The course gave me hope that my business can become something worthwhile and alongside to be able to empower women through ‘right fit’ bras. I love how passionate the course instructor was in bras and her experience. This has motivated me to believe in pushing the industry norms and that innovation in ‘bras and fittings’ has a place in the industry.
Anfal Al Bahar Kuwait
I attended the Foundation Bra Fitting Course after becoming frustrated with the lack of options in The United States for any sort of bra-
fitting training options. Both Claire and Allison were extremely professional and quickly responsive during all the communication involved. Allison did an excellent job during the education portion, and I plan to implement this training in helping my customers obtain a quality and proper fitting bra.
Jennifer Black, Empress, Curated Intimate Apparel, USA
I really enjoyed the bra fitting course and found that even though I was Nervous before it started, Allison put me at ease straight away. I would highly recommend this course to anyone starting out in the bra fitting industry as it is a practical guidance on measuring, fitting and calculating the ideal bra size. The course content included everything I needed and i now feel confident to fit a client independently.
I found the Foundation Course online while searching for a way to learn more about fitting and bras. It was very insightful and full of valuable knowledge that will help me perform online and in-person fittings and even develop new styles.
Having already attended the Foundation Bra fitting course, I am very happy that I have now completed the Advanced, Post Surgery course which was even better! Claire is super nice and available and I really enjoyed working with her. I am from Italy and we do not have courses like this and to be able to do this remotely is amazing. I highly recommend it! Thankyou.
This course was the A to Z of bras, what works, what doesn’t, how to put the customer first, and how to run a bra fitting service in your store or apart from it! Allison is such a tremendous wealth of knowledge, I would consider doing this course as a refresher yearly!
Having attended the foundation course 6 weeks previously I wanted to extend my knowledge and be able to offer pre & post surgery bra fitting to my business. Again I found Allison knowledgeable and professional and really helpful. She showed great compassion and empathy and I really appreciated all the advise given. Thank you
Today I have achieved a lot. My thoughts about this Advanced ( Post Surgery Course) was right and I am happy to have attended it. Now I know how to approach clients with certain pathologies and how to deal with them without being too aggressive but kind and gentle, for me that part was so very important. Above all, I learned how to advise and measure correctly and learned many things that i took for granted, such as turning your back to the mirror for example. I discovered a lot of things about prosthesis that I previously had no idea about.
Allison is a very experienced tutor and she explained everything very well and answered all of our questions. Even though over Zoom it was a really fun and enjoyable course. I highly recommend this course.
Excellent, established Foundation bra fitting course, delivered with an easy to follow, well presented manual. I loved the friendly, professional presentation which was packed with information, tips, advise and ongoing support. This course teaches you more than just bra fitting! I was looking at another career option to help others struggling to find the right bra and bring them confidence and femininity. This course has opened up new doors and life opportunities. Thankyou!
‘I really enjoyed the Foundation Bra Fitting course! learned a lot of new things about the Bra fitting world and also a lot of tricks I’m looking forward to try on my customers! The day was really enjoyable, and the teacher is amazing with superb experience! I Highly recommend this course!’
The course is complete and well structured, with a complete overview in the field of fashion industry and lingerie industry, with great content about history, bra type, breast type, fitting methods, material and so on. I really recommend to do the course because it gives a complete guide for bra fitting and to improve your way to fit.
I decided to do this course to enhance my knowledge and expertise in fitting bras accurately. As a startup Lingerie brand, I really wanted to gain expertise in this field and I’m so glad I went with this one. Alison is wonderful and is able to clearly impart her experiences and professional advice effectively.
I would recommend this course to anyone interested in the lingerie industry. Allison was an amazing facilitator; her breadth of knowledge and expertise is incredible as is her ability to provide students with the expertise to become professional and empathetic bra fitters. Thankyou !
I found the Foundation course very interesting and it gave me more of an understanding about different kinds of bras. I did have previous knowledge and experience but have definately gained from this course and would highly recommend it. Thankyou !
The Foundation course covers everything there is to know about bra fitting. Allison is so knowledgeable and passionate about bra fitting which comes across in the lesson. Such a fun and interesting course on a skill which is so valuable yet one which has become so niche.
I have no experience in Bra fitting but Allison made me feel totally at ease. She Communicated everything in a clear and comprehensible way that I could understand. I feel that Intimate Apparel Consultancy would go above and beyond to help all their students. I very much enjoyed my training and look forward to learning more to take into my new business. Thank you .
Allison’s extensive knowledge in the lingerie industry is so valuable. Whether you are just
starting out or have been fitting already, this course will give you tools to help you give
your customers the best possible fit and experience.
The Post Surgery Bra fitting course was invaluable for me as I set up my personal bra fitting business. Fun and friendly, Allison was a fountain of knowledge. The course covers everything you’d want to know – including information you might not have even thought to ask about. I’ve been a bra fitter for many years, but am now considering doing their foundation course. Thankyou IAC, I feel really happy and prepared to help all my post -op clients now.
I am so glad I chose Intimate Apparel Consultancy’s bra fitting course. There are not many bra fitting courses out there and I wanted those companies that has a background and deep history in the Lingerie industry as I am just building a company. Allison is absolutely superb! It was a day long course, I was extremely satisfied and the course exceeded my expectations.
This is a very informative, yet laid back and enjoyable course. Allison is so friendly and highly knowledgeable. She had many tips and ideas specific to our needs.
Very interesting and enlightening. The course was presented in a very professional and informative manner. It was interactive and inclusive and we all learnt a great deal about bra fitting.
Very interesting and enlightening. The course was really well presented and very informative, loving the bra fitting manual and tape measure!
Allison and the Intimate Apparel Consultancy course was extremely useful. Allison is a very professional fitter and teacher with years of experience, who makes you feel comfortable and engaged with the course. The virtual course was hugely successful, and I came away with a great knowledge of not just fitting, but bra types, female shapes and fitting etiquette. Would highly recommend the course to anyone who is a new to bras or needs a refresher on fit and styles. Thank you very much!
The Advanced fitting course has given me an excellent understanding of the fitting techniques required for post surgery. I would highly recommend this course.

The Foundation course is an excellent introduction to bra fitting. Allison is thorough, friendly and her expertise clearly shows. Not many trainers have this skill or ability.
I came all the way from Israel to learn bra fitting and really found this course professional and enjoyable.
Allison and Claire were both fantastic. Allison was so easy to talk to and answered all our questions and helped us where needed.I would recommend this course.

“Ladies I would highly recommend the Mastectomy bra fitting course with IAC, I found it very informative and most enjoyable. I myself want to be able to fit ladies who have undergone a mastectomy and I was very happy with the course content. I had real life models to train on and I feel now that I am ready to help my clients, especially those that have had surgery to feel confident and feminine. Thanks again to Allison and Claire.”
“A wonderful Introduction into the Lingerie Industry and bra fitting. A real confidence booster. Enjoyable and productive.”

“The Intimate Apparel Consultancy Foundation bra fitting course proved to be invaluable to all the girls on the fashion team. Everyone had a little knowledge, but this course brought it all together & gave them an independent view on all makes, sizes and how to fit them. An enjoyable day well spent.”
“In my opinion there is no way that the course could be improved upon and I urge any lingerie boutique owners, employees, stylists, consultants and even lingerie bloggers like me to sign up now!”
“The Foundation Bra Fitting course I attended with IAC far exceeded my expectations.

“As a complete novice to bra fitting, I thoroughly enjoyed my foundation bra fitting course with Allison. In addition to actually learning the fundamentals of bra fitting, it was great to get a background on the history of lingerie. Allison was patient and efficient in her instruction, and it was a great help to have a friendly model to practice with. I wouldn’t have imagined I would have built up enough confidence to do a bra fitting on my own after just one session, but I really did learn enough to get me on my way. In addition, I learned a lot about different types of bras and how they may or may not be suitable for different body types. I continue to be impressed with Intimate Apparel Consultancy and their professionalism and friendliness.”
“As a bra fitter I have always had a hunger to be up on the very latest when it comes to my technique. I felt that going overseas was the only route for me and for true growth in my field, as I think that continued education is key to becoming the best in my field. I also feel that England is far more advanced when it comes to women’s bra sizing and fitting. When correcting many of the ill-fitting bras I come into contact with here in the US, the English brands always have the best options in sizes, something the US market lacks. I stumbled upon Intimate Apparel Consultancy on twitter of all places. I researched the company, exchanged emails, and finally decided their program would be the best for me. Claire create a bespoke bra fitting course for me setting me up with three amazing trainers! They all had something extraordinary to contribute and had slightly different approaches to bra fitting. Everything was in order and organized perfectly. I felt, and still do, secure in the knowledge that if I have any more questions they’d be just an email away! I’m thrilled with the end result and all my certificates. I feel that, as an undergarment specialist, I have much, much more to contribute to my field and can’t wait to share my expertise with the world!”
I really enjoyed the Foundation Bra fitting course with Allison. In addition to the incredibly useful practical fitting skills, I was also able to learn about anatomy, bra history, sales tips and invaluable skills in making a customer feel comfortable. Very useful… I would definately recommend
Intimate Apparel Consultancy provides a Foundation bra fitting course that is totally comprehensive. A professional approach that covers all aspects of the bra fitting world and beyond.
“As a startup lingerie brand, I really wanted to get some expert knowledge in the field and would definitely recommend this course. From receiving the information pack prior to the day, including a tape measure, personalised note and pen, it was a nice touch. Allison is a warm, welcoming trainer who made sure to keep the course interactive, especially since it is now virtual. I enjoyed that it was a small group, so we could each ask questions freely and understand in more detail. Overall, a positive experience, so thank you.”
As someone with years of bra-fitting experience under my belt I thought I didn’t need to do the Foundation Fitting Course. But after having done the Advanced Course I found myself wanting more! Both these courses were invaluable to me as I set up my own mobile bra-fitting business. Allison is a fantastic instructor, the course is well-thought out and filled with detail. It’s also worth noting that we all had a great time doing it! Highly recommended.
I attended a post-surgery bra fitting course in January with Intimate Apparel. I have to say I’m not fond of doing online courses and so I wasn’t looking forward to it, but Allison was friendly, informative, clearly an expert in her field and made the course very interesting.
I learnt so much about bra fitting for women post-surgery, about the sort of prosthesis and bras available and which are most suited to women who’ve had mastectomies. I was rather bowled over by the amount of information and the whole experience and got far more out of it than expected.
I also learnt a great deal about the procedures that women must go through in relation to breast cancer that would help me to be more empathic and understanding of what customers might be going through in these circumstances.
The instruction on what sort of service and products that post-surgery customers might need was also invaluable and how best to proceed with bra fittings for such customers was also incredibly helpful.
I can highly recommend this excellent course and only wish I’d done the foundation course with Intimate Apparel as well.
The Post Surgery Bra fitting course provided a real insight into the Post surgery product area that is so often overlooked or misunderstood. The opportunity to listen to experts and have an open forum to discuss and learn intricacies of bra fitting is invaluable. I feel able to add real benefit to my role as a bra designer now that I have attended this course. Would thoroughly recommend this course to others!
Allison’s vast experience in this industry is clearly demonstrated in this course. A lot of different areas are covered and I cannot wait to learn more at the Post surgery ( advanced) course that is offered. Thankyou!
For anyone wanting a friendly and professional ADVANCED bra fitting course, look no further! This advanced bra fitting course focuses on post surgery and is a must. You will feel more confident and your customers will get the benefit of a great fitting experience and bra!
This course was revelatory. There is so little knowledge in the general community of the importance and value of a well fitting bra. The impact and positive experience of this course will be transformative for so many people both young and old.
Very interesting and enlightening. The course was presented in a very professional and informative manner. It was interactive and inclusive and we all learnt a great deal about bra fitting.
The Foundation bra fitting course is absolutely brilliant and I was impressed by the amount of knowledge Allison had! She was lovely and very patient with me. I’d recommend this bra fitting course to everyone in the Lingerie Industry and I believe that you should refresh your bra fitting skills again with Allison. Thank you Kindly!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced ( Post Surgery) bra fitting course and found it extremely informative and Allison kept everything so engaging with her own bra fitting stories from her personal experience.
Allison gave me the confidence I need to fit customers, as well as a number of very useful insights.
The advanced bra fitting course really is a step up and much advanced from the Foundation bra fitting course. The extra knowledge I learnt in the Advanced course is really invaluable and furthered my education in fitting customers that have been through a very difficult time.
“I found the course very interesting and perfect for anyone who wants to work in the Industry. I will definitely be recommending the course!”
“Very professional service, plenty of helpful tips and guidance, very enjoyable”
”Great Course! Really good starting place for anyone who thinks they may be interested in Lingerie.”
“The foundation bra fitting course was very detailed and professional and have learnt far more than I expected”
“I attended the Advanced bra fitting course with Intimate Apparel Consultancy as I wanted a better understanding on the fitting of Mastectomy bras. The day was simply perfect and thoroughly enjoyable. Allison is a great teacher, with superb experience and in depth knowledge and as a result I now have more knowledge and confidence with Mastectomy Bra fittings. I highly recommend this course.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Intimate Apparel Bra Fitting Foundation Course. Alison was an amazing instructor and hugely knowledgeable in her field. Although excited about the course, coming from a Fashion Design background, I had thought that Bra fitting would have come quite naturally. My goodness was I wrong. It takes lots of practice and there is so much to it than people could ever think. The course was lovely and informative, yet informal and comfortable at the same time. I particularly enjoyed the history talk on the Bra and where it came from. I cannot recommend this course enough and am now keen to further it with study, along with letting my Stylists take the training. After all underwear is a crucial factor to your outerwear looking good!”
“The Foundation Bra fitting course was extremely beneficial and thoroughly enjoyable. I was so glad to have attended, upon my recommendation my colleague is now looking forward to doing the same course in the very near future.”
“Allison was a lovely and patient teacher. She not only taught me about fitting but about good customer service as well. She was focussed on making sure that I knew all I needed to know from the course and great value for money too. What a lovely day I had and now I have a nice certificate to show off too!”
