Just that really. Where would I recommend to get measured?

here :)

There are a couple of bra threads running with expert advice. Get your tape measure out and DIY!

:) Hi MissBoPeep!

If you want to get fitted, then Bravissimo is the best bet. Rigby and Peller, John Lewis and Leia are all ok, JL can be a little hit and miss.

Do not touch M&S with a 25 foot barge pole

Alternatively, self fitting advice here

I use the Bra Lady www.brasforall.co.uk who have several home fitters in the UK. T-J who is my fitter also fits via Skype!

ilove, do have a look at the blog and info on here. You are probably a vastly different size to the one you are wearing so may not be even close when you are trying on.

What part of the qorld are you in op?

TheRabbitCatcher · 18/07/2013 13:19

The best places I've found have been Rigby and Peller and independent lingerie shops. I found a fantastic place opposite M and S in Harrogate. Not cheap but she measured my post baby boobs perfectly and fitted me for the best fitting bra I own (bit of a shame I live in Essex really, if anyone knows of similar in Essex I'd be very grateful for recommendations!).

iloveweetos · 18/07/2013 23:26

In the West Midlands. I looked at bra lady and how does it work? Do I buy bras from her? How much is it? I should ring her tomorrow reallyBlush
In regards to Essex, I lived there up until a year ago and I didn't know anywhere good near me.

I know they get totally trashed but I was measured by a lovely lady at M&S a few weeks ago and my bras fit beautifully I'm more lifted and separated and am very comfortable, just sayin Wink

Unfortunately the good fitters in M&S are basically rogues who have been trained elsewhere and don't do it the M&S way!
