Ah no why do you have to be topless? For how long? This makes me worried!!! lol :$

You have to be topless so they can see you in your existing bra to see how that fits. Then they'll get you a bra in the size they think you are. They may ask if you mind them being in the cubicle whilst you get changed, but you can ask them to wait outside. Then they'll see you still topless, but in the new bra.

So you don't have to be completely naked - your boobies are covered by either the bra you're wearing or the one they fit you in. You just don't have your top on.

Hi everyone.

We had an unexpected new addition to the family this weekend and it's been a bit of a shellshock....





a new puppy, bet you was thinkin a baby. Done with those, LOL. so we found her and just had to buy her. But we spent the entire weekend moppin and wiping (too graphic??) and buyin 'stuff'.

I'll answer a few questions. No, you do not have to be 'topless' just they'll ask to see you in your bra. Sometimes you will be measured over a t-shirt (so weara t-shirt, not a jumper or shirt) and will fit from there but you can close the curtain while you switch from bra to bra and then ask for a different size if you feel it does not fit or just hide behind the curtain. it seems dauntin but it is not at all because they do recognise that you do not want to display your all to strangers.

Juno, LOL. There is more coming as the season has changed too...... for those that know the site welcome10 gets you an extra 10% off everything. Am I going to get in trouble for that??

ANNEGEDDES

I quite often buy an extra pair of pants - sorry, I don't wash my bras every day lol, so shoot me! I'll also wear plain ones which still match (i.e plain black pants with a more expensive black bra) although I prefer matching. Glad to hear you managed to get a good fitting!

blue_monkey_2

I don't wear matching pants either as some tend to be too loose fitting for me and too low a cut and I have a scar on my tummy - these can go in a normal wash though. I am a shortie convert and do not really wear anything else now. Bras should be washed by hand and left to drip dry. I wear my bras for a few days and people tend to buy 1 bra and 2 pants if buying sets for the same reason.

PS. AG, how much better do you feel now in the right size??

carol6, naughty. Spamming is not allowed but that address has not been posted for a while now has it?! Call me cynical but you talk ALOT about that company. I might talk about stuff but there is a 'no spamming' rule on the forums!! There are only 3 brands on that site though so not a lot of choice as one of them is a boutique range and not for everyday wear. :rolleyes:
