    Steer well clear of M&S, whatever you do. They told me I was a 36A when I was really a 30D at the time...

    I found Bravissimo a pretty good place to be fitted, or any other place where they look at you rather than using tape-measures. Rigby and Peller is another once, but they're not cheap.

    I agree with the avoid M&S comment.

    I've always found Debenhams to be really good.

    La Senza measured my best friend and the girl told her "that's a really weird size, you'll need to go somewhere else for something in that size cos we dont do it".

    The really weird size was 40B, not that she was that, 2 measurings later in another shop put her at a 36D.

    Yeah not M&S, they said I was a 34A, when at the time I was already wearing a 34B/C :eek2: and was expecting to go up a size if anything

    That was a couple of years ago, n not been fitted anywhere else after that, but whenever I've been in the Debenhams changing room, I always hear other women having fittings, and they always seem really professional and they go on the look if it rather than getting a tape measure out like M&S do I think

    I went to M&S when I was younger. I didn't like it :| I've not been anywhere else since, but she can do it in the house if she has a tape measure and just try things on if she doesn't want to go. But yeah, I need to go. lol.

    i would personaly say go to rigby and pellers, they are so spot on...

    or bravissimo, though they told me i was a very very small bust size and a much bigger cup size..

    I'm going to echo Debenhams. They do measure you but they tell you to always try on the bra because it might fit better in a slightly different back/cup size. Although I've never been measured anywhere else so I can't say if they're worse/better than other places.

    avoid m&s and all other department stores. I have found Bravissimo to be brilliant! Rigby and Peller are good too but as someone else said, they can be quite expensive.

    I've only been measured the once, at la senza. Was a good experience though, and they gave me several different sizes to try on, so I would recommend it.

    Yes, M&S is absolute shit. Don't go there. I have been measured in Bravissimo and they were pretty good actually. Bras fitted well and it was all jiggy. I would love to go rigby and peller for another one as last time was years ago.
