I had an inch between the cup and my bottom of my boob and she was telling me the inch gap was in fact my boob! I had also said I don't want my boobs to move much, but the bras she fitted were so lose. I will never go to marks and spencers again for a bra fitting!Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284434904520068154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-56615249769102483022016-02-17T07:58:39.188-08:002016-02-17T07:58:39.188-08:00I totally agree with all these comments.

I had a bra fitting at M&S in Birmingham and she brought me all the wrong size bras to try on and when I asked her why she had not brought my size she said they had not got my size in stock!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238383636224006976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-48226523713526769792013-10-14T06:42:26.091-07:002013-10-14T06:42:26.091-07:00M&S don't have a clue!

The lady in M&S had it ALL wrong - can't remember what size she measured me at, but when I said it felt too tight her approach was to keep going up a band size, rather than looking at the cup size! (I just read on another link that M&S don't use FF and HH in their sizing, so that means they were even further out and makes me wonder if an M&S G cup would fit me?) One good thing I WILL say for M&S - they gave me a full refund on the hideously uncomfortable bra!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405880813091954740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-21734387215738090322013-07-16T21:46:35.201-07:002013-07-16T21:46:35.201-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498746411225333672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-75831537592569065082013-03-07T14:15:28.334-08:002013-03-07T14:15:28.334-08:00I think that's very true - in a larger departm...I think that's very true - in a larger department store you can "just go and grab something else" and then not buy whatever the fitted you in, so it's less intimidating. <br /><br />John Lewis seem to be better than M&S but still some pretty ropey reviews. <br /><br />There is such a gap in the market for a big company to retrain their staff and then publicise it - a lot of women don't trust the fitters but don't know what else to look for.

(Which you know of course!). My Mum was wearing a terrible bra & when I asked her about it she said M&S had sold her a 38C. Now, my Mum is tiny compared to me & I only wear a 36 band size, so I knew for a fact that was going to be all wrong (I wasn't sure about the cups - she has always worn a C but it wasn't as clear cut an error as the band). Needless to say she'd got it on the innermost hooks, but it was still loose. I took her to John Lewis in Sheffield (no Bravissimo available) & they seemed to have a better idea. She came away with a 34D & looking a hell of a lot better.<br />My local lingerie shop is also pretty good - they do at least fit you into a nice firm band - no adding of extra inches! I talked a neighbour into going there recently; she needed a better bra after having lost part of an already small boob to surgery, but she needed me to go too, as she found the setting intimidating. Which I think is, sadly, why a lot of women don't go to these small shops but prefer M&S. Maybe there is a perceived pressure to buy in a small shop which you don't perhaps feel in a larger store..AlisonKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098712510729362965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-54728839964522716302013-03-04T00:39:56.507-08:002013-03-04T00:39:56.507-08:00I have learnt from experience that M&S and Deb...I have learnt from experience that M&S and Debenhams have no idea at all on bra fitting and nor do my local department store (part of Fenwicks). I even take my teenage daughter to Rigby & Peller now as it's the only way to be sure she is in the right sized bra - I don't buy many from them (sadly too expensive), but at least we then know what to look for in other stores. I find John Lewis good once you know what size you really are.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478954875962675557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599090181540800012.post-1510485190166071762013-03-02T14:09:05.105-08:002013-03-02T14:09:05.105-08:00This is so depressing.
