Do you have to get partially undressed for M&S bra fitting?

Considering going but don't want to do that

@PumpkinGal

The boob or bust says I'm a 36HH!

Cant be right as I'm currently in a 36E which is baggy as I've lost 3 stone!

Is it baggy as its been washed and worn a lot?

You keep a bra on. I used to be shy about it, but now I've got used to it.
I go to bravissimo. Get yourself there unless you have a small chest as they are dd and up.

I can't do boob and bust either, can't tolerate an over tight band.

Me neither.

I still recall someone posting on here if you don’t have a red welt when you take your bra off it’s the wrong size, absolutely awful advice and no wonder so many women are uncomfortable on here and hate wearing a bra.

I wouldn’t go to M&S anyway, they’re shit. You get to keep your bra on though!

I used to be a bra fitter and I have done some (rather iffy) fittings on girls who absolutely did not want to take their tops off and it is possible but we really do need to see what you look like in the bra. It’s not just the positioning of your boobs in the cups, it’s the whole bra we need to see.

An overtight underband is the result of a poor fitting by someone who has no experience. You'll find a 36 band tight in some bras and loose in others. Bra's in one size can fit completely differently, like a size 12 jeans in m&s will feel different to a size 12 in Hobbs etc etc.

A good fitter will know if its too tight for you, it wont get worn, so best get something comfortable and supportive.

I’ve found Bravissimo much better. The lady suggested my size by looking at me in a T-shirt, then I tried on some bras and she checked the fit. I have lots of scarring so had put it off for ages but it was fine. Try giving them a call. Wearing a properly fitting bra makes such a difference to your well-being
