The Fitting Room!

A lot of people are put off by the thought of being fitted into a bra in a store, and it took me a long time to work up the courage too!
Your experience of being fitted does depend almost entirely on where you go to be fitted; some will fit you with entirely the wrong size, while some may find you the perfect bra you just have to buy! A lot of people worry about it being awkward, and feeling uncomfortable, but this isn't usually the case, as these fitters are professionally trained and have seen hundreds of pairs of boobs way before you came along!

So if you want a professional fitting, the first thing to do is find a store that offers this service. The best 4 that I (and my bigger-boobed assistants!) have found are:
La Senza
Bravissimo
Debenhams
Selfridges

You should also choose a retailer that actually stocks what you think is roughly your size (to get a good idea, check out my self-measuring guide, coming soon!). If you have a small bust, yet go to somewhere like Bravissimo, chances are they're not going to stock your size!
Curvy girls, choose Bravissimo and Debenhams, as these sell fantastic ranges for larger-breasted women.
'Little women' can choose just about anywhere, as long as that store doesn't cater solely and specifically to the larger sizes.

Unfortunately, sizes do tend to differ between shops, though this should absolutely not be the case. In most instances it's not by much, though sometimes this can make all the difference. Just as a heads-up, La Senza tends to have back sizes that are smaller than other retailers.

I'm in the process of putting together my own self-measuring guide, and am testing out online fitting guides to find the best! Check them out soon!!
