We all want to feel comfortable and confident whatever we are wearing and our underwear is the foundation for this. It's important for us to be wearing the right bra size so that we not only feel comfortable but are also well supported.
A well fitting bra is key and so with this in mind we recommend having a bra fitting regularly as our body shape can change over time or there can be an issue with your current bra from bra straps slipping, the bra band or wires digging in or cups bulging or puckering, all signs that our bra doesn't fit correctly.
At AmpleBosom our bra fitting specialists are here to help! Offering friendly and supportive advice to help you choose a well fitting and comfortable bra. Our staff can help you to find the perfect fit from the wide range of bras and underwear we have available here at AmpleBosom.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A BRA FITTING
When you book your professional bra fitting appointment we will ask a few pre fitting questions so that we can be prepared for your visit.
PRE FITTING QUESTIONS
-
What is your current bra size approximately? Your cup size and your band size?
-
Are you wanting a wired or non-wired bra?
-
Are you experiencing any problems or issues with your current bras?
-
Is there any additional information our bra specialist may find helpful?
THE DAY OF THE BRA FITTING
What to wear at the bra fitting - wear something comfortable that is easy to get on and off during bra fittings.
If you are wanting a new everyday bra, then wearing t-shirt, top or blouse is usually the best choice.
Try to avoid wearing anything you'll have to unzip or completely take off. If you do wear a dress, you could bring a top from home so you can see what your new bra looks like with clothes over it.
Looking for special occasion lingerie then you might want to bring your dress or the top you are planning on wearing. Then you can make sure your new bra will work underneath.
If you have had a mastectomy, are looking for post surgery bras and you wear a prothesis then please come with the prothesis.
Also wearing your favourite bra can help our specialists see what you like and how the style fits on you.
AT THE BRA FITTING
-
Our bra specialist/ bra fitter will welcome you and chat with you about what you are looking for and discuss the answers you gave to the pre fitting questions. You may be asked questions so that our bra specialist can help you find the right underwear for you.

You will be measured by our bra specialist with a measuring tape and they will let you know your measurements and size, please note that different brands and bra styles may differ from this size, so this is only a guide. Our bra specialists will fit a bra and check the bra fits.

Depending on what you are looking for depends on how many bras you will try on - you may only try on one or two if you know what you want. You may be introduced to new bra brands or styles. Once you find a bra that fits well and you are comfortable in you may be shown other colours if they are available.

“Hi Sally, I visited your premises yesterday at short notice and was amazed at the friendly reception I received from the team. It was lovely to go somewhere and feel comfortable and at ease whilst trying underwear etc on. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I will definitely be passing my comments on to friends and family about my experience. Although you are a good drive from me I will definitely be calling again. Thankyou for a very pleasant experience.” Kind regards Rona
