To think mothercare bra fitters need proper training

[CaffeineBomb]

I was sorting through my dresser and found one of my pregnancy bras from last year after going to a lovely lady at m and s, 34GG really comfy, fit well and was like a dream after wearing underwire until
35 weeks. The only reason I went there is because mothercare didn't have the size they claimed I was in stock, anyone want to guess what mothercare thought I should be wearing? It was shockingly out and looking back I really should have complained

The issue is that once you get past D there is no one consistent sizing system. What is a J in one brand is a GG in another.

I'm sure the Bra gurus will be along to explain better soon! :)

Mothercare told me i was 42 d, tried it on and when I lifted my arms the whole bra came up too! Went back out and kept trying and in the end a 38c was perfect. I do find the mothercare nursing bra clips are nearly on my shoulders tho, cant wear a low cut top without everyone knowing what colour bra it is today!

Heirhelp I'm one of the bra ladies - have a look at this website

Thanks for the link, really helpful. Made me think I need to get re measured!

YANBU!

They measured me as 34e. When I pointed out that was my pre-pregnancy size and my bras don't fit (36 weeks at the time) she just shrugged. Then when I pointed out the sign behind her said to add a cup size for breastfeeding she just stared at me blankly. Turns out I was a 36G...

Thanks for the link. Why is there a bra alphabet? Why did bra manufacturers think the actual alphabet would not be good enough?

I remember overhearing a Mothercare fitter asking a senior colleague for bra fitting advice. 'So the lady measures 31 and 39..' 'Yes, so she needs a 36C'
Oh no she doesn't.

Only place I've been impressed by with fittings is Ann Summers. Much better than MnS they didn't have a clue.

I was recently fitted in mother are. 36E. I was 34 b pre pregnancy. Currently bf an 8months. I said I didn't think it was right and shouldn't have bought them. Yes I have a bit of weight to lose but I don't have big boobs. At all. The bras give me dreadful back fat.
