Where to go for first bra measurement

Where would you take your daughter to get his first measurement for a bra? M&S was standard when I was young but over the years I've learnt they're pretty rubbish at it - is this still the case?

Definitely not M&S, who still needlessly add inches to the band and throw off the whole fit.

You can do it at home, no need for a shop. This website will help, use the guidance and the calculator

I wouldn't, do it at home using boob or bust as pp said. I was so embarrassed as a pre teen getting dragged into M&S

I guessed and then brought multiple back and cup sizes to try on in the same bra from M&S. I did BoB for me several years ago so know how a bra should fit

Great, thank you. I hadn't heard of BOB but that's pretty unanimous!

Boulevard - It's actually my daughter who is asking to get measured, think couple of her friends have done it. We're probably just going to get crop tops for now but will use BOB to give me an idea of what size to look for.
