Hi,
I heard M&S were really bad in measuring.
To be honest i got fitted in the house of Fraser and she did not use a tape measure.
IT was all done by eye and fit.

I find bra measuring pointless as they always put me at one size under what I actually am, and I also find that different makes and brands can come up in completely different sizes.
Example: couldn't fit into a 34D in La Senza (too tight round the back and couldn't squeeze my bosoms into the cups either!); went to M&S and a 34D was a perfect fit in most bras I tried, but I needed a 34DD or 36D in others.
I tend to try a range of makes in a range of sizes to get the best fit. As a guide, a well-fitting bra should fit snugly on the loosest fitting, there should be no gaping on the cup, but it also shouldn't cut into the breast (giving the effect of having 4 breasts side-on lol).

If you're in London, go into Rigby and Peller. As far as I know, they'll measure you for free and if they're good enough for the Queen then they're good enough for me!
Oh, yeah Marks and Sparks are terrible - I got measured in the one in Preston a while ago and the lady measured me at a different size to the one I am, and then proceeded to tell me that what I already had on looked fine. Divvy.
I got measured but the middle of the bra doesn't sit on the bone (at the front) which I heard is not a good size.

My daughter went to them, and they are also a place that does it by sight. Their bras are expensive, but if you can afford it, they are excellent,and worth it, particularly if you are a large cup size.
I'm not going to dwell on my cup size (too depressing these daya!) but Bravissimo have a great fitting service

Best place for a bra fitting in London has to be Rigby and Peller, the queens corsetieres. Complementary fitting and prices are reasonable! Knightsbridge (next door to Harrods).

I get measured in M&S but Iwear different bras, for different clothes, and sometimes it needs a bigger size or lower, it depends if i wear a Tee Shirt or a fitted dress, and they do say that the middle of your bra should sit flat against the skin, but if you have a high fronted bra then its not going to sit flat accross the middle of your boobs if (I have explained this right)
I was measured at EVANS but didn't think it was very good at all, but it might be OK for you.
I have been measured also by a lady who sells TRIUMPH Bras, that was fine but the hooks came out of the fastner.
