Yes, but don't have one near me (that I know about).

She was right though! 34D much better fitting than the ones I was wearing! I've known for a while they weren't right.

Whilst you ar ehere. When you get measured properly for a bra do you take everything off and tey measure your bare breasts?

Big difference between a B cup and a D cup -blimey classic case of spuds boling over.

I had gone up to a C off my own bat, but it still wasn't quite right!

I don't know why though - haven't put on any weight since having DS and it was only in the last 6 months that I noticed that my cup runneth over!

If anything I've lost weight.

Well, I have gone from a 34DD to a 36FF without trying. I didn't even know they did FF cups!! God bless Freya lingerie is all I can say!

Last time I got measured I wasn't asked to take my bra off (although was quite embarrassed for it to be seen, I'm one of those people who finds a good bra and wears it down to a cobweb.)

bootsmonkey · 18/01/2007 13:33

LOL at cobweb lingerie - mine was the same. I only had two and then the wire snapped in one in the washing machine, so I had to bite the bullet and buy some more... Some places measure you bare and some places measure you in your exisiting bra. Echo that M&S are generally CR*P at measruing. Also, sizes vary form make to make, so different brands can require different sizes on you. In Lepel I am more like a 34G (but can't admit to that, so don't buy Lepel!!)

this place does bras to a jj, not that i am well endowed

MamaG · 18/01/2007 14:03

My SIL is a professional bra-measurer (amongst other things) - in fact, she was on 10 years younger once measuring someone fact fans

ITs awful becuase every time I see her, she manhandles my boobs and insists I take my top off so she can check my bra [perv]
