- Comments about fitter:
She was very nice, made me feel comfortable, and brought me bras in my size and types I requested (molded, unlined, strapless, and sports), after measuring my underbust to check the band size.
She didn't seem to understand the difference/conversion between US/EU and UK cup sizes, though she brought out bras sized in each scheme. When I asked for a larger cup size in some UK styles, she mentioned "half sizes" for the FF cup. Since I wear a smaller cup size, this was not a big problem because the cup sizes were only off by one, but it would be an issue for those who wear larger cups. Also, she said that bras fit well when I thought they were too small in the cup (wires were lifting near the center gore). She did tell me to scoop my boobs to get into the cups though!
