A few weeks ago I went to Macy’s to get my bra sized again. It was a long overdue task and I was tired of my back hurting at work. When I arrived to the bra department I felt at great ease. The woman who assisted me was so helpful and in the dressing room, her and three other women who worked at Macy’s had certificates of their training. My previous bra fitting was horrible, the girl was trying to fit me into a bra two sizes to small. I won’t name the store with the untrained bra “specialist”, but I will say its a popular lingerie brand. It took me about 5 minutes to get sized. I was a bit skeptical when she told me my true size, but when I actually went and tried a bra on, the fit was beautiful! I am a bigger cup size than I thought but I actually look smaller and my back doesn’t hurt anymore.

I would advise every woman to go find out their true bra size by a professional. Yeah Ok, you make have been a 32B in 1999, but that doesn’t mean you’re still that size in 2009. Department stores like Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom all have bra specialist to help you. Also check out this video below to find out how to properly measure your bra size.
