Katsize Lingerie: Confidence, Comfort and a Truly Personal Fitting Experience
Katsize Lingerie: Confidence, Comfort and a Truly Personal Fitting Experience
Finding the right lingerie should be about much more than knowing a size. For Tamara at Katsize Lingerie, it is about making sure every person who walks through the door feels comfortable, listened to and confident in what they are wearing.
Based at 67 High Street in Inverurie, Katsize is an independent, multi award-winning lingerie boutique offering a specialist fitting service alongside an extensive choice of lingerie for different ages, shapes, sizes and stages of life.
But while the products matter, it is the personal service behind them that really defines the business.
As Katsize puts it: “Katsize is a small business with a big heart. Lingerie shopping is as personal to us as it is to you.”
That philosophy has shaped a business where professional fitting, inclusivity and confidence sit firmly at the centre of the experience.
A Personal Service from Tamara
At Katsize, customers receive a one-to-one fitting service directly from Tamara, who brings a particularly valuable combination of specialist lingerie knowledge and a 30-year background in nursing.
For Tamara, the business is about considerably more than selling underwear.
“This is not just my job though. It’s my passion,” she explains. “Affirming self worth and boosting self confidence in others really drives me.”
Her nursing experience continues to influence the way she works with customers today, particularly when understanding individual needs and helping people feel comfortable during what can sometimes be a very personal experience.
Alongside that background, Tamara has undertaken a number of specialist bra-fitting courses, including training with Fantasie and Panache, as well as an Advanced Mastectomy Fitting Course hosted by Royce and specialist training with Cancer Research UK:
“My time and my knowledge is free to all of my clients and I truly love using it to give the best service to everyone who walks through my door.”
It is a combination of knowledge and approachability that comes through strongly in customer feedback too.
One customer describes receiving “fantastic personal friendly service,” adding: “I feel uplifted… Tamara is a true professional.”
Another, after visiting Katsize for the first time, said: “I left feeling great and with 3 fantastic fitting bras… all different sizes. I will definitely be back.”
Fit First, Size Second
One of the important messages behind Katsize is that finding the right bra is not simply a matter of picking the number and cup size someone has always worn.
Different brands, styles and body shapes can all influence fit, making expert fitting particularly valuable.
Katsize offers a wide selection designed to meet different requirements, including everyday lingerie alongside teen, strapless, bridal, sports and mastectomy options. The boutique also stocks accessories including nipple covers, boob tape, Bye Bras and shapewear.
Its brands include recognised names such as Fantasie, Wacoal, Elomi, Anita, Sugar Candy, Freya, Pour Moi, Panache, Sculptresse, Royal Lounge and Royce.
Rather than expecting customers to navigate that choice alone, Tamara works personally with them to find options suited to their individual shape, style and requirements.
One customer summed up the difference that can make after finally visiting the boutique:
“Tamara is very helpful, patient and seriously knows her stuff! I am now confident I'm wearing bras that actually fit properly. Probably for the first time in ages!”
That feeling of confidence is precisely what Katsize is trying to achieve.
“We are not just about selling underwear,” the business explains. “We are about fabulously fitting underwear which boosts your self confidence and self esteem.”
Lingerie for Different Stages of Life
Katsize’s inclusive approach means recognising that people may need very different kinds of support at different points in their lives.
Maternity and nursing fittings are one example. The body can change considerably throughout pregnancy, following birth and during breastfeeding, meaning an appropriate fit can change along the way too.
The boutique therefore provides specialist maternity and nursing fitting, helping customers understand those changes and find suitable lingerie as their needs develop.
Katsize also provides specialist fitting following mastectomy, lumpectomy and other surgeries. Tamara’s nursing background and advanced mastectomy fitting training are particularly relevant here, with the business recognising that this can be a challenging period both physically and emotionally.
The aim throughout is to provide a fitting experience that feels professional, comfortable and sensitive to the individual.
Making a First Bra Fitting a Positive Experience
That same care extends to younger customers.
Katsize places particular importance on helping teenagers establish good fitting habits from the beginning, while recognising that a first bra fitting can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
Tamara is conscious of personal space, boundaries and the anxieties young people may have around the experience, with the intention of making fittings both educational and relaxed.
It is an approach parents have specifically highlighted in their feedback.
One customer who brought her nearly teenage daughter for a fitting said Tamara “put her at ease right away”, while another praised the way her 11-year-old daughter was made to feel comfortable during what “can be an awkward time for developing girls”.
Those experiences speak directly to the wider Katsize ethos: professional fitting without pressure or judgement, delivered in an environment where people can feel at ease.
Inclusive by Nature
Inclusivity is not simply an additional element of Katsize’s service; it is one of the values around which the boutique has been built.
“We are all about inclusivity,” Katsize states. “No matter your age, sex, shape, style, size or life journeys and experiences.”
That means recognising that lingerie shopping is deeply individual. What gives one customer confidence may be completely different from what another person needs, and the fitting experience has to reflect that.
The boutique’s purpose is therefore deliberately straightforward: to make good, professional bra fitting accessible while creating an experience that can also be enjoyable and informative.
Katsize describes its ideal fitting experience as “safe, comfortable, relaxed and usually fun but incredibly professional”.
That balance is important. Customers are benefiting from specialist knowledge and fitting expertise, but within the atmosphere of a small independent business where personal relationships and individual attention remain central.
A Small Independent with a Big Heart
Katsize now has a presence in both Inverurie and Aberdeen’s Trinity Centre, but its High Street boutique remains an important part of Inverurie’s independent retail offering.
It is a business built around something that cannot easily be replicated by simply purchasing lingerie online: the opportunity to speak to someone knowledgeable, receive an individual fitting and discover what actually works for your body.
The testimonials on Katsize’s website repeatedly return to the same qualities: professionalism, patience, knowledge, friendliness and the confidence customers feel when they leave.
One customer described being made to feel “totally at ease, no pressure to buy”, while another simply called their visit a “first class experience”.
For Tamara, that response goes back to the purpose behind Katsize in the first place.
“The right bra can change your world in an instant!”
At Katsize Lingerie, the aim is to help customers find exactly that — the right fit, the right support and, perhaps most importantly, the confidence that comes with feeling comfortable in themselves.
