I've done loads of bra fits this week! That's me properly working as a bra-fitter now and it's actually really fascinating seeing how different figures fit. Every age from teenagers to great grannies and all shapes and sizes. Mostly larger busts though, the smallest I've done this week has been a DD, the largest a GG. It's amazing seeing the

How on earth do you decide which bra to fetch ? Experience I guess?

[crikeyaphrodite]

Each fitter has their preferences. Most use the Gorgeous comfort t-shirt bras, for younger women anyway, as they're a reliable fit and a nice shape. Older women tend to get Fantasie. It depends on what they're already wearing and prefer themselves.

Then sometimes it's just whatever you can find in the size.

lots to learn about all the ranges tho .. when I went bra fitting with Paula I thought my 'superior' knowledge of these thing may get her a perfect fit .. but it was a nightmare from start to finish and though she's a size 8, she ended up with a 36B!!!

Well that would've surprised me too. A 36B! So far though I'm finding smaller busts more difficult. Granted for obvious reasons we get less of those to fit. But you then get wanting padding etc factored in, or alternatively older women who want a smaller busted bra that isn't moulded and those are few and far between.

I know! nobody was more surprised than I and she was triumphant that i was 'wrong' ... (grr).

You're making me want to find a bra fitting job myself! I have no idea where these things are advertised round here ...

LOL! Just the stores own websites.

You know if I had the money I think that's an idea for a shop. Bras for fuller busts teamed with a corset service.
