Where is the best place to get measured for a bra?

FloFlo

I am fed up with my bras not fitting properly, so where is the best place to get measured and buy a quality bra?

No smut please!;)

Don't know the best plce to get fitted, but here's a link for a free book by figleaves that should help you work out why your bras don't fit.

Hi

Most Marks and Spencers branches have a bra measuring service. I went to mine on the recommendation of a friend last summer and found I was wearing completely the wrong size.

You don't have to buy from there when you have been measured.

I have found that having the correct size bra it really comfortable. I didn't realise how much difference it would make.

Good luck

Both M & S and La Senza do a bra fitting service and both seem fine, however if you have a local smaller shop they might be able to help you, the one in the town near me is great, they have a much better selection of bras from lots of different manufacturers and they are no more expensive tha the chainstores.

I like Bravissimo for accurate measuring.

Hi,Rigby & Peller are the ones used on Trinny and Susanah and by the Quenn I think
, the service is free but excellent although there is normally a VERY long queue.

I had to wait nearly 2 hours for my fitting, (they have at least 8 trained fitters that I saw anyway there many be more!!!!).

But they were fantastic, and there was no hard sell which is good as the stuff they sell is at the expensive end of the market.

They do have a website that tells about their fitting service.

The women in Sadie the Bra Lady are fantastic, and they will find you something suitable. They don't measure - they just look at you in your current bra, and work out your size from how badly it fits!

I think Thirsk or Scarborough would be your nearest branches. I thought I'd mention it in case you travel.

John lewis, the staff go on real training courses, they'll spend loads of time wih you trying different brands and sizes and have bra's in all price ranges too. I don't rate M&S for fitting eventhough the lingerie is good.

I too don't rate M&S for fitting. Have you an independent lingerie shop near you, they are usually the best.

Not wishing to be seedy but breast size can alter depending on menstrual cycle,there is a mathematical formula that works with 3 differing measurements,but at this moment I cannot remember them,I will troll through memory and get back
