With a stunning range of bra sizes available (more than 100!), Zovo (University District, 4612 26th Ave. NE; 206.525.9686; zovolingerie.com), at University Village, is the place to go for all your bra needs, especially for those who are hard to fit or for special wardrobe needs, such as wedding gowns.
