Bra shopping!

Can anybody recommend a good bra shop/measuring place in the West Wiltshire/Bath/Bristol area?
I have used M&S and not been happy (had one nightmare experience a few years ago which has mentally scarred me - was there for hours!:eek:). Also not overly keen on John Lewis in Bristol - the lady there said I was an 'in-between size' and so she only had a couple of bras for me but she wasn't really sure that one of those fitted me properly.

Katiekins, you could just be an 'inbetweeny' and yes, it can be hard to find a size that fits right if you are - especially when trying on for a few moments in a store. I recently had a customer who tried on around 20 bras, we got one good fitting bra out of those. I know it seems hard but sometimes it just happens. I sell, or can get, around 80 bras in my size but there are just 3 that I can wear that fit me well.
If you do not want to go to JL then try House of Fraser, Bravissimo or a local independant, someone who will have lots in your size. Sometimes it is hard to find the perfect one and it will mean A LOT of rather dull trying on. My best recommendation is to get your size and then get as much as you can afford from Figleaves, if it feels right, wear it for 10 minutes to see how it feels because then you will get a feel of how it actually fits.
If you want more help then PM me and we can talk more there.0
