M & S Bra's - Is it me??

[whatsinaname01]

Need some new bra's.
Today have tried some on in M&S [not a fitting].
None of them fit- I'm a 34DD everywhere else but M&S-all too small.
Just don't get it, really frustrating
Anyone else have this problem?

I thinkall bras fit differently.

Mine are from various shops - and not all the same size.

I do have a couple of M& S bras though, in my usual size and they fit fine.

Are you measuring correctly ?

M&S bras are all over the place just now. They don't work to their own fitting (i.e. they're not +4 sized) but they just seem to be kind of stingy.

But surely the measurement around your ribcage is a set measurement, 34 inches should be 34 inches.
How can they get it so wrong

When M&S measure they do it an old fashioned way where they add 4 or 5" to get your band size. So someone measuring the 30, they'd fit in a 34. But their bras don't fit that way, the 34 wouldn't support properly, would be too big in the band. But I've noticed more and more people saying their bras seem tight and small at the moment. It coincided with a lot of comments about poorer fabrics, downgrades on tights and pants etc. I half suspect they've reduced seam allowance or adjusted their patterns to try and be more "economical" and wound up just plain dodgy sized. They're not even consistent though!

Thanks Statistically. I think I shall just give up with them and keep going to John Lewis or House of Fraser

No its not you. I haven't bought a bra from m and s since being interventionated 2 years ago.
