HappyGrace Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think I am a 36A, but actually less than an A cup, so I'm having trouble finding bras, plus I'm not even sure I'm getting the right size! I usually just buy a 36A at Marshall's or Walmart, but they come pretty heavily padded in A cups. I'd like to find something more natural looking (not so much padding), plus get a good fitting. I don't have much money to spend though :( I'd also like to have my dd13 fitted sometime-she is super tiny and skinny but fitting into a 36, which doesn't make sense (since that's what I take and I'm way bigger around) so I think we need help for her too. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBasil Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Personally I prefer to find an nice lingerie shop with a professional fitter for weird or uncommon issues. They are more helpful and knowledgable, IME, about finding the right fit, right type of bra, and brand suggestions. I found a couple by googling the nearest large city and 'bra fitting', I've had much better luck with that then relying on a department store fitter.

Clear Creek Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have had great success with being measured at Victoria's Secret. They are more accurate than the sales associate at JC Penney, in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Our local VS does a nice job with fittings and helping you find the correct bra for you. I had myself measured again to help decrease my dd's embarrassment in getting a fitting. I was surprised at how reasonably priced the two bras I purchased there were; yes they were on sale, but I now wont wear any of my other bras. Along with my purchase came a coupon/card for $10 off my next purchase, and yes I'll be purchasing more. (I'm pretty picky about fittings btw; in college I worked in a lingerie shop and know how they should be done.) Wear a bra with a tank over it; that way you can feel comfortable during the fitting and popping in and out of the dressing room for more options. Strangely, not all companies measure the same way.

Mom-ninja. Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The closest Nordstroms to me is a little over an hour. Well worth the long drive for an accurate fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
