Where would you go for first bra fitting/buying bras?

As above really - I am going to need to take my teen for her first proper bras very soon, but realised I don't really know where to take her? In the past M&S would have been the obvious place around here, but I would prefer not to give them our money/custom when they have been allowing men into fitting rooms etc; but not sure what alternatives there are? We have a John Lewis which I guess might do fittings as well, but don't they have similar policies? But other than that the only places I can think of that might do fittings at all are one that has only very pricey, designer-label type stuff and don't think it has much suited to teens, or I think there's a Bravissimo somewhere but that's just for bigger sizes isn't it? Even if we did the measuring ourselves at home though I'm not sure where is good to go for buying them at the moment! Any suggestions of places that have NOT gone woke and ridiculous please?

Bravisimo is brill and does medium go XXXL boob sizes !

Check their sizing online . They also tend to measure backs as smaller compared to high street so most people come out with a bigger cup size - don't be put off by the side

Check out Boob or Bust, it teaches how to self measure. Also try different styles of bras to find the best for her breast shape.

Thank you all! Just working my way through that thread and the other tips. I think she will still be too small for Bravissimo but might try some of the other options in the thread that I'd not thought of and also will have a look at Boob or Bust as that's new to me!

Google to see if there's a local bra boutique near you - a private one, not a chain. Went for one recently and it's the best thing I've done in years. Really wish I'd been able to do that as a teen. (Admittedly, not a cheap option, so may depend upon your budget)
