ORIGINAL: cjenny Okay boobie people, I have a question on bra fitting. Please don't laugh, or if you do then laugh where I can't see heh. What precisely happens during a bra fitting? Does a woman wear a bra while being measured? Is it expensive? Etc & my thanks. Jeez I love CM, where anyone can ask just about anything! When mine was done it went like this: The woman and I went into the dressing room, I took of my incorrectly-fitting bra and she took a look at me. She estimated my size and brought multiple bras near that sizeback and helped me in and out of each to establish which fit and supported correctly in each style (full coverage, demi, etc.. you know). Some places will measure you first to get the original estimate and then have you try on multiple bras as they check for correct fit (this involves checking tension of the band and straps, fit of the cups and all that) because the math that is used can give a completely and totally wrong bra size. It's just the place to start. Don't go to places like Victoria's Secret, especially, or similar if you are in the US. Many shops will fit you in a way aiming to make you fit into a bra-size they sell. Make sure you go somewhere that has a wide range of sizes available (a good way to check is to see if they have a good number of sizes above DD available, even if you're smaller than a DD) and that is not trying to sell you a bra at that moment. If the fitter seems unsure, get someone else to help or try another store. It takes about 10-20 minutes of in-and-out of multiple bras while the fitter helps you and shouldn't cost much or anything at all, depending on the store.
