Bra Fittings ?

melissabender · July 2012

After two pregnancies and nursing both of my babies I am finally ready to go back to the world of normal bras and stop wearing this white nursing bra that I have had on for the past 2 1/2 years. I went to JC Penney last week to get fitted and thought that I would have some assistance in trying to find something that fit me properly. The woman that measured me gave me a size that was an entire cup smaller than the bra I was trying on that I was just barely fitting into, so I let her know that and she said "oh ok well just go with that one. it looks fine". Not really the assistance I was looking for, but I decided to buy the bra and see how it works out. After wearing it a few times I do not feel as though I have any support. I am desperate to find a bra that actually fits comfortably and holds me up. Any suggestions on where I could go to do this and hopefully not completely break the bank?

Thanks!

I go to the lingerie place in Kenilworth Mall. The ladies there are great and actually take their time with you. The last two bras I bought from there were around $60 but SO worth it.

Nordstrom is pretty wonderful for bra fittings. If you're in our neck of the woods, there's also a shop at Maple Lawn called Bra La La that's very good.

I've gone to Bare Necessities in Lutherville and had a fairly good experience, but they were really out of the way for me.

Having worked at JCP in college, I can tell you that most associates there are not trained to do bra fittings. I had to measure a customer once and had NO IDEA what I was doing. I tried to convince her to come back when some one who know what she was doing would be there, but this woman wasn't having it. At our store, I remember that they would have bra fitting specialist come in on specific weekends.

I echo the recommendation for Lingerie Lingerie in the Kenilworth mall. Those ladies are pros and they have tons of sizes in stock.

I second Nordstrom. They are very helpful and fit me perfectly.

My first thought was Nordies also. Soma at Towson Town does a good job of helping too and I like their bras. And I think in August they have some pretty good sales.

bare necessities in greenspring valley is great, as is bra la la in fulton. I've heard good things about Nordstroms too. Even if you just get measured and then buy a bra elsewhere, it's good to get measured.

Thanks for posting this question. I'm in the same boat, getting ready to toss my nursing and pre-pregnancy bras and start over. I had heard good things about the store in Maple Lawn, but I'll also check out Nordstrom. Thanks for the question and the recs!
