where is best for fittings

hello everyone
well i have passed the 6week mark of wearing the sports bras and would like to go shopping for a few new bra's. Where is best for fittings do you think? as i have been to M&S and Debemhams in the past and were not that helpful i thought. Especially deb's as they said no longer measure the cup size you have to just try bra's on and see which you think is best. Any suggestions? thank you

bravissimo is amazing, i didint have one near me but decided the long drive was worth it,
they were very friendly and helpful, you get to try loads on and they check each one, i couldent fault them at all,
la senza sized me totally wrong, and debenhams never had any trained staff,

M&S are awfull I was in the changing rooms recently and I could hear them 'fitting' a lady for a bra, they said 'well you measure 31 under so we add 5 cos it's an odd number, which makes you a 36, but we don't have that size in stock so try this 38...!!
The woman was saying it's too loose and they weren't listening!

Fitting you in to bra without a tapemeasure how you said Debenhams did it is the correct way these days.

Personally I love bravissimo and always tend to go there for fittings. I'd never bother with M&S although they do have some nice bras. xx

This made me laugh, what a funny way to measure on all fours :heehee:

by abbie 2nd November 2010, 5:08 pm

lol i didnt see that bit. I measured standing up and it gave me the correct measurement

by susib 2nd November 2010, 5:12 pm

lol
what i can't decide is the back measurement, if i measure with a tape i get just under 35, but i know a 34 is too tight, but if i go by that way of measuring it would make me a 34g and no way would i normally fit in a 34bra, my measurement are 43" across the breast and as i said just under 35" under

by abbie 2nd November 2010, 5:14 pm

i think that makes you a 36F

by susib 2nd November 2010, 5:17 pm

yeah i would agree with you on that :)

by DL 2nd November 2010, 5:54 pm

wel i tried this way and i measure 28inch around rib cage for my back measurement and the fullest part of my bust was 35inch no way could i be that size cup size that would make me a F cup and i know they not that big no where near ha lol xx

by abbie 2nd November 2010, 5:58 pm

have you actually tried one that size? Youd be surprised.
I measure 29 under and 37 over, which makes me a 30F according to those calculations, and funnily enough its what I wear and what fits best.
Its not actually an enormous size when you couple it with a small back size. A 28F doesnt look nearly as big as a 36F

i have not tried anywhere or anything on yet I am going next week to try and get fitted as am 6weeks post oo however have to stay in sports bra for another week maybe as had bother with leftie. It is worth thinking about tho especially as you say it works out the correct size that your wearing. thankyou for the site too x

by Georgie_797 2nd November 2010, 7:16 pm

Iv just tried this and have found i measure a 32E if this is correct .. Im currently wearing a 34D sports bra and am very uncomfortable! Maybe this is why! xxx

by annefinackapan 2nd November 2010, 7:43 pm

I found Bravissimo and debenams the best places to fit me. They took a band measurement then I just tried bras on as some styles youll find you go up or down in the cup. I found the articles way of measuring very accurate however re the 'all on fours bit' I think someone was havind a right laugh when they suggested that!

yea think your right about having a giggle when they wrote it ha, did you end up a good size with 260cc and are you happy with them? xx

Started as an 32a/b ended up 30dd/e. Obviously wore the wrong size back (M&S btw!) They are so much better than pre op but will never be happy if Im completely honest.

by DL 2nd November 2010, 8:26 pm

thanks for that. that is a good size to be?? why are you not completely happy???

by DL 2nd November 2010, 8:30 pm

sorry full of questions tonight can you wear wired bra's straight away, this was never mentioned to me??? thanks

by annefinackapan 2nd November 2010, 8:35 pm

Its said you generally get the same boobs as you had pre BA but bigger/fuller. I deffo did so they are still a bit sqiffy and thin skinned after breast feeding. I would just love my pre baby boobs back . Which is impossible and unrealistic which I was fully aware of but being a very harsh critic of my own bod Im honest enough to admit I will never be completely satisfied because of it. Not sure if that made sense?
You are usually advised to wait until all swelling has gone aprox 6 weeks. Its so exciting getting measured the first time.

the thing is we all change as we get older even every part of our body I suppose. I will be aprrox 8weeks post op however i am nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous as I have always thought they are too small so worried what size they tell me I am. Has to be done tho. eeks take care xx
