Bra shop recommendation

[Blueuggboots]

Have just been to a bra shop in Coventry called Butterfly Bras, on Spon Street. The lady measured me accurately (31.5") and said I should try 32E or 34D depending on how tightly the fit on each bra was. She showed me how to put my bra on and told me to make sure the whole of my breast was in the cup.
I ended up with 32E bras and she was lovely. Older lady too so didn't feel embarrassed.
Brilliant service!!

That sounds good. However, I wouldn't expect someone measuring 31.5" to ever need a 34 band and in fact in some bras a 30 band would be a good fit. Have you scooped?

Yes, have scooped. Had 32Es. They fit comfortably.

It sounds like you had a good experience. Decent bra shops are hard to find.

I was going to recommend it to my sister but I'm a bit concerned that their on-line calculator is wrong. Hopefully they ignore that when fitting face to face!

She pulled the tape really tight when she measured me and said it was important for the band to be tight but comfortable as that is where the support comes from.
She was happy to try different sizes and most importantly for me, she actually listened when I told her what style bras I like and didn't try and make me buy those ones with formed cups!!

She sounds really good!
