My sister went in as a 34B, she came originally just to keep me company, but got measured too. Came out all chirpy with much larger sizing and knowledge of her "full" norks

I loathe R+P. Last time I went to the Knightsbridge branch I was sneered at by the lady who took my appointment and the shop stank of damp. I have left the Mayfair branch in tears, twice. If you have big boobs they will try to put you in some Fort-Knox arrangement that my gran would have worn in skin coloured nylon with straps 2 inches thick and pointy cups. Never going back. Bravissimo all the way.

Everyone is right though, getting fitted properly makes all the difference.

I would recomend to anyone that you try bra's in a smaller back size, and go up in the cup.

thats the prob with most fittings.

like you did captianpig

34a
32b
30c

see the pattern? those cup sizes above are all actually the same size wire/amountof room in the cup. it's the bandwidth thats changed.

Yep scroobius - that's what happened to me.

Went in wearing a 38B and came out wearing a 36D.

Was M&S though - evidently they don't get it wrong every.....single.....time

I've never felt more comfortable in a bra. All my clothes fit so much better and I can do a 9 hour shift at work without so much as readjusting a strap!

I went there for my wedding underwear and ended up spending £300!!

I was wearing a 38DD bra and came out with two 36G's!! Their services is exceptional and they know what they are doing, be warned though, they want to see you topless, so if your shy be ready and they don't measure, they do it from eye! I wasn't bothered about it because the bra's I got were so comfortable!

Go you won't regret it!

I've been too - good service but I was soooo disappointed that I went in a 34C and emerged.... a 34C!

Went to the one at Westfield, alot less intimidating than the Knightsbridge one imo.
