So, I'm tweeting about bras with M&S. Who wants to tell me which stores have given incorrect measurements?

They have asked which store fitted incorrectly. Apparently they've invested a lot into their Bra fitting and would like to know which stores have incorrectly measured / fitted.

Shall we give them a list?!

anyone who sees this and wonders about their bras please come over to one of the other bra threads and we will help you-let's try to keep this one as a clear list as it may be easier to tweet the link later.

For reference marks I am a 30hh/j and you fitted me in a 36f.

Fantastic, keep them coming!

I suspect it's a training issue rather than store. I'm going to make the most of having their attention.

All credit to the bra ladies Sorrel and Statistically though :)

I think it would be much quicker to let them know where a correct fitting has taken place. They'd have me in
a 34D given half a chance and I'm a 30FF.

We have a huge M&S but they don't stock much in bigger cup sizes and what they do have is very matronly. I don't bother with them anymore.

Lewisham (who couldn't even be bothered to look half interested) & Bluewater. This would also be the Bluewater where I went to buy a maternity bra the day before my caesarean 5 years ago that had the 'fitter' go out to tell her colleagues who then laughed loudly telling anyone around.

On last fitting, they have me a 38C. After having saggy breasts and sore sides too long, I eventually went to Rigby and Peller who fitted me with a 32E. I cannot tell you what a difference it made in both comfort and appearance.

Never again M&S, both because of attitude and lack of skills

Colchester. I got told I couldn't possibly be a 36 as it was only women who are a size 10 or 12 who are (I'm a size 18-20 and a definite 36").
