Hi
I don't know but I'm thinking I should go and get sized for bras, not been for years and have just bought two bra's off figleaves £30 each, but I dont think a lot of myself - body wise and don't like getting looked at, as it was years ago when I was propely fitted think near enough 10years ago just done it myself since!
What exactly happens, I don't like people who stare or like judge you and I dont want to be told what kind I have to wear.

Yeh thanks for advice I dont think I'd go to Marks & Spencer, might go to a local place, as they have Freya - which I have ordered off the net, never see anything in Marks & Spencer these days I like.
thanks I just hate people looking at me! but think I should cos had bad back and neck in past few years and thats a sign supposedly, don't wanna go to a DD tho!
www.figleaves.co.uk - i think and go to shop by brand thats where i ordered mine, more pricey but supposed to be worth it. also bravissamo not sure of spelling just type in search engine.
i didn't feel uncomfortable or anything but she got my bra size TOTALLY wrong. she went and got me some bras in the size she thought i was and they were wayyyyyy to small. i was like 'erm i can't breathe'. stupid woman.
Grr :impissed:
She was a twit.
I got that from our local Marks N Spencers. She measured me as a 34C, so off I trotted, and bought a wholeeeee new range of bras, so I could chuck all my old ones away.
I got home, and all the bras were the same - I was spilling out of the cup and the back was on the smallest fastening and it was still too loose! I measured myself and bought a bra in a 32DD. It fit perfectly.
Luckily, the store I bought the bras from let me take them back, so I resotcked up on fitting ones. But honestly, how could you measure it that wrong?
I have tiny breasts and so I only own padded bras - would I have to take my bra off to get measured?
what i don't get are the charts you get in catalogues and whatnot. if i measure myself according to them, it tells me i'm something stupid like a 30A (i wear 32D and have a slight amount of cup bulge on my bigger boob, so there's no way in the world the girls would get into an A cup).
i decided i was wearing the wrong bra size so i tried on a new bra size in la senza. then i asked to be measured. she measured my back size and then just looked at me and said 'ooh yeh that looks like it fits, pretty too'. and that was it! she didnt measure around my boobs at all.
wish me luck - dreading ti already
Saying that, sometimes I don't have to measure people anymore. If they put a bra on and it's the wrong size, I can usually guess what size they are. You should be able to tell by looking alone if it's right or wrong - that's part of the training.
Just think if it was that terrible an awdeal nobody would have a fitting twice! I get fitted every time I buy a new bra practically (if it's been more than 3 months since your last fitting this is what they recommend anyway).
Ha yes lots of my bra's do that, it's rubbish but i'm not rich enough to buy like 5 new sets of underwear ;(
Well I went and was fitted I was correct I was wearing wrong size. ..... 2 cup sizes too small was 36D now 36E!!!! Feeling bit pissed off cos nowhere does bras cheaper now for that size!
So £105 later 4 bras
I was about an A/B cup but I was told I was a 34D. :rolleyes:
A few years later I just measured them myself.
