What does it take to get a proper fitting done? I've been fitted at 3 different stores in the UK, 4 different stores in the US, and somehow I still don't have a proper fit. Talk about frustrating.
I just got back from a fitting at one local lingerie shop where they tried to tell me that I was a 36C. Okay, sure, I can fit in a 36C, but then the band is on the smallest hook and it rides up, and the center doesn't sit flat. I showed this to the woman who fitted me, and she replied "that's how it's supposed to be. It looks fabulous! Is it comfortable?" And yeah, it was comfortable, but it wasn't right.

DIY I think. That's how I got the best fit. Reading info here and other sites, then trying on bras and saying, oh wow...this is not like the other experience.
DIY and luck. I got lucky. Read about what was likely my proper size, and ended up in a town in England that had a large department store with good variety. No help whatsoever from the staff (probably just as well) and came up with the right fit in the right bra.
Well, I've figured at least that I need a band that's smaller than a 34 -- right now a 32 in one brand, but I think I could even do with a 30 in some of my bras. Cup size ... well, still not there yet. I know that I need to look at something around an F or FF, or maybe even a G, at least... trouble is, I don't live in an area with a good selection for bras, so I have to order online.
