Today, @greatgospel, @Busts4Justice, @Lembrassa and I had a fun conversation on Twitter:
@Busts4Justice: @greatgospel imagine if M&S got good and then refused to sell bras without a fitting.
@greatgospel: @Busts4Justice I think the place you speak of is heaven?
@bratabase: @Busts4Justice I should hope so! RT "I recall NHS rejected breast reductions applications without a proper fitting first"
@bratabase: @Busts4Justice @greatgospel just got to make sure you get a proper fitting and some bra dance to make a sale
@greatgospel: @bratabase @Busts4Justice I should hope so! RT "I recall NHS rejected breast reductions applications without a proper fitting first"
@Lembrassa: @bratabase @Busts4Justice @greatgospel - Juts did a bra fitting tonight with girls who got measured in La Senza both as 34c (cont)
@Lembrassa: @bratabase @Busts4Justice @greatgospel - One turned out to be a 30 back & the other 32 - neither a C-cup! Bras fit was awful x
@bratabase: @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice @greatgospel in those situations would you blame the fitter or the brand?
@greatgospel: @Lembrassa @bratabase @Busts4Justice I fitted a girl on Saturday who was wearing a 36B... I put her in a 32FF
@bratabase: @greatgospel haha did she freak out? /cc @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice
@bratabase: @greatgospel @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice people should learn that D+ cups are not "zOMG HUGE!!1" boobs
@greatgospel: @Lembrassa @bratabase @Busts4Justice ...changing the world one cleavage at a time!
@Lembrassa: @bratabase @Busts4Justice @greatgospel - The fitter! It wasn't the bras that were the prob it was the size
@greatgospel: @bratabase @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice Depends... I think brands should ensure their bras are being fitted correctly in dept stores...
@Busts4Justice: @greatgospel @Lembrassa @bratabase Hurrah!
@Lembrassa: @greatgospel @bratabase @Busts4Justice - Haha feels like it sometimes! We will get there in the end x
@greatgospel: @bratabase @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice she loved it! She looved amazing too - put her in the @FreyaLingerie Deco...she binned her old bra haha
@Lembrassa: @greatgospel @bratabase @Busts4Justice - They should but brands are about making money! I'm not sure some care enough to do that!!
@greatgospel: @Lembrassa @bratabase @Busts4Justice it would cost way too much to re-train staff and abolish the +5 method... :/
@bratabase: @greatgospel @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice Actually, id REALLY like to know how they prepare to cut for bras before making
@Busts4Justice: @Lembrassa @greatgospel @bratabase v good point: not fitting saves on staff and ill fitting bras break.. Educate consumers to demand better.
@Lembrassa: @greatgospel @bratabase @Busts4Justice - I think old staff train new staff and if the old ones are doing it wrong so will the new staff..
@Busts4Justice: @Lembrassa @greatgospel @bratabase anyone get the plus four rule? It has a lot to answer for...
@bratabase: @greatgospel @Lembrassa @Busts4Justice I see same with TVs in stores, brands should get undercover reps
@greatgospel: @Lembrassa @bratabase @Busts4Justice pulls out hair
@bratabase: @Busts4Justice @Lembrassa @greatgospel I've heard some people praising the "overbust" measurement "rule"
@greatgospel: @Busts4Justice @Lembrassa @bratabase I absolutely do NOT understand, particularly since elastic was invented
@bratabase: @greatgospel @Busts4Justice @Lembrassa actually I don't fully get the bust measurement either, The whole system is skewed IMO
@greatgospel: @bratabase @Busts4Justice @Lembrassa there is nothing really set in stone, some say yes some say no
