In M&S having bra fitting now...

[Acunningruse]

I'm a size 10/12 and she's measuring me as a 36, that can't be right can it?!

I came as I lost 2stone and my old 34DD bras are too big in the cup, admittedly not the back but

I wouldn't have thought so.am a 10/12 up top and bravissimo measure me as a 32 but I find that too tight so I get a 34. 36 would be massive!

Surely not, I'm a size 16-18 and I'm a 34 band...

M&S are notorious for measuring the band too big.

Go to John Lewis or Bravissimo

Ask the numbers she measured. The underbust inches = bra band size. Then go up about 3 cup sizes from what she said to start with. If she says you're 36, you probably need a 32, if not 30.

M&S measure big I think

Don’t M&S add several inches onto your actual measurement or something? So you end up with a bigger band size and smaller cup size than you actually need. I don’t think anywhere else does it like that these days.

Last time I tried M&S (years ago!) they tried to get me into something like a 38A, which I’m not sure is even a size that is made Bravissimo put me in something like a 32D, which was much better!

Go somewhere else. M&S are shite at bra fitting

M&S are terrible at bra fittings, they measured me as a 36 B, and after a couple of years I went to a small independent bra shop to be fitted - I'm a 32 D. I'm also a size 10 and I'd be very surprised if you've a 36" band.

I spend two years constantly fidgeting with my bra and I can date old photos from how badly fitting my bra was. I'd go somewhere else to be fitted.

Go to Bravissimo or try the Boob or Bust website and measure yourself.
M and S are well known for poor measuring

I’m a size 10/12 and have always been a 36 and in some stores a 38 is better. My friend is a size 14 and she’s a 34 so I don’t understand how it works

M&S measure me as a 36AA. I am actually a shallow cupped 32C. Size 12 tops.

They add 4 inches. You’ll be a 32.

Just got my aged mil some new bras. MnS 40aa independent shop 36c. I know which fit best!

I remember M&S putting a young probably 12/13 year old me in a 34B. I was a wait of a child! It wasn’t until I was about 15 that I realised I should have been in a 28E all along.

I'm a 10/12 and 32/34 (34 the nearer to Christmas we get!) has she put you in a smaller cup?

You’re not a 36 at size 10/12 berrylove. You’ll need to go down in the back and up in cup size.

Berry you probably need to go up in cup size, not back. Put your bra on backwards, so hooks are in front. How far can you pull it fron your body? If more than about an inch or 2, the back is too big.

Size 10/12 you'll be band of 28-32 and then a bigger cup size than m&s are telling you. M&s told me 38C (I'm a size 12) but I'm actually a 30FF and it's so much comfier!

Get out of there now! 😀
Bravissimo is your friend

M&S measured me as a 42C. Went to Bravissimo and I'm a 36H.

The M&S bra made my tits look like shit. The Bravissimo bras are great, supportive and I don't get any back pain now.

I spent years in a 36D, thinking it's normal that you have 4 boobs and bra climbing up your back..
I'm a 30FF. My back and shoulders no longer hurt.

Nope. I’m a size 16 and a 34, sometimes even a 32

M&S and Debenhams are crap at bra measuring. The last time I tried Debenhams, the girl said I'm a 34. She measured me over my rather thick jumper. Didn't even ask me to remove it down to the bra. When I tried on a 34 bra, which was clearly too big around the bust, she said I'll have to fasten to the last hook. Wtf is that about?

Walked out an now in bravissimo
