To think bra fitting is an essential service?

I'm desperate for a bra fitting as I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I went to a branch of bravissimo a few months ago and they did a great job of socially distant bra fitting, they did it all by sight without coming near me. All the bras I tried on but didn't buy were quarantined for 72 hours.

I had planned for go again in January, as I didn't want to go to central London before Christmas, but now we're in tier 4.

I've never bought a bra without trying them on. Without being able to try them on, especially being pregnant, I've no idea where to start with buying one online.

A proper fitting bra is important for all women. I think bra shops should be open.

@Twillow

It's a desirable luxury. You're being ridiculous.
Would love to know your bra size 🙄

A nice handbag is a desirable luxury. If you're big boobed, pregnant, breastfeeding etc then well fitting bras are important. I'd put them on a par with well fitting shoes, except shoes are a lot easier to fit properly yourself.

I'm not saying they should be offering fitting services in tier 4 but I'd hardly call it a desirable luxury or on a par with a personal shopper. If my bra is wrong it causes pain, sores, even bleeding if it rubs (not for a long time because I know how to fit). I appreciate not everyone can afford decent bras but that's true of many things which are fairly essential.

Something like this bra is flexible size, so should cover a range of sizes.
