That Saturday, Aunt Katinka took me into town for a bra fitting. BHS refused to do it, as did M&S, so she took me to an independent lingerie store. The lady said she had no problem with fitting a man for a bra, but said that she doesn’t stock ‘flat-bras’. “In fact I’ve never heard of a flat bra?” she added.
“A double or triple A cup should do.” Aunt Katinka replied, before explaining the whys and wherefores of the ‘flat bra’ to the shop’s owner.
“How fascinating!” the lady replied. “I’ll have to see if I can get some in.” she added as I reluctantly began unbuttoning my shirt. “What a pretty camisole.” the lady smiled as I removed my shirt. “I trust he’s wearing knickers too?” she asked, turning to my Aunt.
