Sum Girl
I'm looking for suggestions on places to go to get a bra fitting. I'm a big girl (i wear larges and size 12 pants) and My boobs are kinda big too (partially from genetics and partially from being fat but that's beside the point)
I don't think the current bra size or type I'm wearing is suitable for me because I always feel like my boobs are sagging just because the bra's I wear aren't fitting correctly.
I know I can go to Victoria's Secret but are there any other places that you can suggest? I live in close to Indianapolis, IN - if that helps anyone with local places but any well known retail stores helps too. Thanks in advance!
Answer
Most people on here are gonna tell you to go to Macy's, Nordstrom, Walmart , Target, Victoria Secrets, La Senzia, J.C Penny's and the like. most of the places are just not helpful. Either they don't offer larger cup size smaller band or lager bands, or they don't really fit you properly. I'm not sure where you live but you should try Intimacy. I would say even if you lived like 2 states over from on it was a trek go get fitted properly. Even if you can afford their bras you can then buy online and get the bras you need. I like Intimacy because they do try to fit you. But they also try to push their customers in to buying bras that are 100-150 bucks. They do have cheaper bras but you will have to ask to see the drawer and search yourself to get one.
The great thing about Intimacy is other than the fit they will fix the bras that you bought that break. How many times have you busted underwire or been in between sizes. They will fix you bra for free you just pay the shipping and handling which is 8 Bucks. If it busts they will felt it. If you need something about the bra reworked they will fix it. And one time did get a larger bra in the band and smaller in the cup just because they ran out of my size. when the underwire broke twice they gave me a store credit on the spot no wining or complaining.
You can look at the pdf to find other stores that fit like intamcy fits, that are near you.

Once you get fitted if your a D or DD plus you can get bras online. Some of them are quite nice.

What stores will do bra fitting?
ChristyCar
I know Victoria Secret will, but they don't have
my size bra. I've been a size C since I was about
12. Now I'm 17 and I believe I may be a D.
So what stores will do bra fitting?
Last time I went to Victoria Secret they said they only go up to 38C. Maybe its just because it was an outlet store.
And also, I'm like 40 in band size and I know that Victoria Secret doesnt have 40+

Forget Victoria's secret, my best friend was a manager there during college then last week we were shopping for bras at a department store and she asked for help choosing a size. Anyway, not all their bras fit the same and I think you can do better.
Macy's, Saks, Bloomingdales, pretty much ANY store that sells wacoal bras. Just call your favourite dept store and ask when the Wacoal reps are coming b/c you want to be fitted by them. THEY ARE THE BEST and they will teach you things that apply to any bra (not only theirs) beyond that, if you need help right away, I find the higher end dept stores have the more knowlegable staff and I would call to see who their best fitter is and when that person will be working.
