How to measure your self

Hi girls do any off you know how to measure you self for a bra as where I am we only had a marks and Spencer’s and they have always measured me way out even befor my ba I’m wanting to buy some more post op bras xxx

My advice with post op bras, is to try them on! How I was measuring didn’t match my post op bras.
I’ve got two marks bras and one I had a 38f and the other 36f….
xx

Thank so @lisa I’m gonna go in to marks and Spencer’s and try a few on xx

Not sure if your anywhere near a House of Fraser but they are realy good for measuring and have a good selection of bigger cup sizes xxx

@claudine I accually do have a big house of Fraser in my town just didn’t think of there think I will go there instead in morning thank you xxxx

To measure you’re self, measure your band size and then measure over the largest part of your bust. every additional inch from your band to your bust is 1 cup size, ie. Band 32, bust 36 = 32 D (+4 from 32)
That’s how the staff at M&S told me to do it x

Hi Hun Someone told me that m&s still do the old fashion way for measuring and that way doesn’t work Which I’ve found to be true for me every time I’ve been measured there and bought a bra it’s never fitted I was a 36c pre op and they measured me at a 40 d today post op I so I bough the post op bra and it doesn’t fit at all I was a big shocked that they only measured me at that at 3 weeks post op when o had quite a big implant aswell 600cc xxx

Google a website called boob or bust Hun, it’s been spot on for me & my mum! I’ve got fakies & she’s natural but seems to of been right xx

Thanks @lisa will have a look now zxz

I went last week Stacey (Metrocentre branch) honestly they were so helpful, the lady that came in with me measured me and spent a good 40 minutes picking things out for me, she went through all the sister sizes etc…..very patient and there was lots in the sale too xxx

Aw brilliant Hun I’m gonna go down this morning just wanting an white post op bra really as the mya are black so being a bit limited on n what I wear xxx

You might be surprised at your size – I know I was. I picked up a 30dd thinking it’ll be fine, when she measured me I was a 28G. I only needed a second bra as I had to go out Friday eve for a few hours & my white was stood out too much X

Hi Lisa I measured a 36/38 f/g depending on bra size I was the same only wanted a second post op bra so I could wear lighter tops I’m only 3 weeks post op so could change size yet xxx

I’m planning a day trip on my 6 week post op appt. I’m going to get measured and spend all my money on gorgeous bras for my new bouncy boobs! Lol! Im not sure where to go in Manchester? Maybe house of Fraser or Boux avenue? I’ll find somewhere!
You must be bigger than a 40D?? I think they’ve got that wrong or wait a bit longer for them to drop more? Xx

Hi Laura I’m planning a good trip at 6 weeks two I just wanted a different colour post op bra rather than black fpr lighter tops got measured again to day and come out at a 36/38 f/g depending on what bra I get but will get measured again at 6 weeks as they still sitting high aswell so assuming they gonna drop a bit more xxx

Oh I can wait to get out of these macoms!! Yeah I think you knew you would be a D?? Xx

I new I couldn’t of only gone up one cup size but it still felt disheartening when they said a was only a 40d it be nice to not be able to wear a bra tho lol xx
