Outfitting "the girls"

I want to go get fitted for a bra or two. Do the women at Victoria's Secret know their stuff, or are they more typically the high school girls with after school jobs? (Never been in one, can ya tell?)

 

 

I went to get measured and the girl was WONDERFUL. Don't be afraid to ask for someone that has more experience. I will say this, though, the bras they have you try on can be pretty stretched out. So find one that fits, pick one off the rack, then try THAT one on. A friend of mine spent $200 on bras from there based on the ones she tried on. She had to return them all because they were too small when she got home.

That's great info to have. Thanks!

I got fitted at Soma recently and at Intimacy a couple of times in past. I was pleased with both personnel. The Soma bras are more comfortable while still providing support. My Intimacy bras are stiffer and more structured and run on a different sizing, I think French?

I would recommend going to a bra specialty shop to get fitted, those women know their stuff.  Place like Soma or Intimacy are good.  I think that VS is ok but I do think that those employees are taught bra fitting via a video in the back room (no offense).  If you run on the "larger" size, VS won't have the bra that you need/want.

I've had a couple great experiences with bra fittings at Victoria's Secret. Every time I've gotten fitted, it was my correct size. Bra styles can be so different so make sure you tell the gal if you want something with full coverage or thicker straps. A great bra can & will make a big difference in showing off the girls!

I would go to a "better" store for the measurements. Nordstroms especially or a actual bra shop.

I worked in a retail Bali, Hanes for a little while and there are instructions online on how to measure yourself. The problem with VS is that they often run small. I'd you need a DD, they will try to make you a D to get a sale-example. Many of us have fat, skin and that makes getting bras tricky. I waited until I stopped losing weight to buy the "fancy" bras. Even now I like the Maidenform bras sold at Target, since my girls are deflated.
