About Gillian Horton and Bra Fitting Wisdom
At the heart of Bra Fitting Wisdom is Gillian Horton, a woman whose passion for empowering others shines through every fitting she conducts. With years of experience as a bra fitter and a personal experience with breast cancer, Gillian brings a unique combination of technical expertise, deep empathy, and unwavering dedication to her work.
For Gillian, bra fitting isn’t just about the technicalities—it’s about helping women feel truly supported, both physically and emotionally. Her mission is simple: to ensure that every woman leaves her fitting feeling more comfortable, more confident, and more at ease in her own skin.
A Fitter with Heart and Expertise
Gillian’s journey to becoming a trusted bra fitting expert began with her own breast cancer mountain climb. Facing uncertainty, turmoil, and the many physical changes that come with a diagnosis, she recognised the profound need for supportive, well-fitted bras designed for women who have undergone surgery. From that point on, Gillian has made it her life’s work to transform the experience of bra shopping for all women—whether they’ve faced breast cancer or are simply searching for a better fit.
She understands that bra shopping can often feel overwhelming, especially when compounded by health concerns. But with Gillian’s approach, what might start as a daunting task becomes a warm, uplifting experience. Personalised fittings take place in a safe, respectful, and caring environment, where every woman’s unique needs are heard and met with care and expertise
A Voice for Change in the Industry
Gillian’s impact reaches far beyond the fitting room. She has become a trailblazer in advocating for women’s needs in the lingerie industry, particularly when it comes to post-surgical care. Working with top brands like Poolproof, Sunseeker, and Jantzen in the design of mastectomy swimwear, Gillian ensures that all women can feel beautiful and supported, no matter their body shape or health journey.
Her expertise is also recognised through her role as a peer reviewer for the Cancer Council’s booklet on breast forms and breast reconstruction, and as a guest author for Prof Robert Thomas’s UK publication, “Keep Healthy After Cancer,” where she wrote about bras after surgery. Gillian’s commitment to education extends to the broader community—she’s been instrumental in delivering awareness training to security staff at Canberra Airport, advocating for the dignity and privacy of women wearing breast forms.
Supporting Women Every Step of the Way
At Bra Fitting Wisdom, Gillian offers more than just bras—she offers a caring, understanding environment where women can feel safe, heard, and supported. Whether you’re recovering from breast surgery or simply looking for a bra that fits properly, Gillian will guide you with warmth, expertise, and empathy.
Her passion for helping women has taken her around the world—from searching for the best post-surgical bras in New York, Paris, and Europe, to fitting second-hand breast forms for women in Fiji who lack access to necessary medical products. Every step of her journey has been about making sure women, no matter where they are or what they’re going through, have access to the support they need.
More Than Just a Business—A Community
Bra Fitting Wisdom isn’t just a place to find a bra—it’s a community. Under Gillian’s guidance, women are encouraged to embrace their bodies, support one another, and celebrate the strength that comes with feeling truly comfortable in their own skin.
Through her work with charities like Bosom Buddies, Cancer Council and Inherited Cancers Australia and as a member of the ACT Health Cancer Consumer Reference Group, Gillian remains deeply committed to improving the lives of women across Australia. She continues to raise awareness, identify gaps in the market, and advocate for better post-surgical lingerie solutions.
With her heart and expertise, Gillian has become a beacon of empowerment, showing that the right bra can change more than just your appearance—it can change your life.
