Weird Debenhams experience?

I went to try on two bras today in the changing rooms at Debenhams as I wasn’t sure which one would fit better. When I was trying them on, the lady who worked there came to the curtain (didn’t come in it though) and asked if I was getting on okay and if I needed her help getting them on Confused is this weird or just an attempt to be very helpful? She wasn’t smiley or anything when I went in but I was the only one in the changing room so it couldn’t have been for anyone else! Why would I want her to help me put on a bra?Confused

Maybe she was a trained bra fitter?

I know what you mean but sounds like she was trying to be helpful. Maybe they are trying to up their game on bra fitting... Confused

Some older people might find it hard to fasten a bra, but persumably you don't look that old!

To me thats just normal. They have a bra fitting service. She was probably just bored waiting to do her job.

Too many women wearing the wrong size bras, we need more intervention, not less Grin

I would love this attention when bra shopping! Usually they tell you they are too busy or need to make an appointment!

This is normal in most bra shops. She didn’t come into your space but asked if u wanted help.

She probably also realised that should you need a different size, she would be saving you from completely redressing to go off in search of another one.

Sounds like she was asking if you would like any help and you didn't - I don't see the issue.

She might have noticed you were trying on different sizes/fits so thought she could help with correctly putting your bra on and how it should fit or getting a different size should you need it.

Because Debenhams do bra fittings.
