They are super pricey though. And even after they measured me, I ended up a band size smaller. I think I'm kind of doughy around the band area so I measure a size bigger, but when I try on that band size it rides up my back.</p> <p>Here's a general guide to what I learned though:<br /> - the band should have contact with your skin all the way around, including the front between the breasts<br /> - the back of the band should comfortably rest in the MIDDLE of your back, several inches below where your shoulderblades end<br /> - the straps should not create indents in the tops of your shoulders and should not slip off</p> <p>I would suggest going straight to nursing bras so you don't waste money!! </p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144560 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:12:40 +0000 Lozza 144560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Winniebee Intimacy is awesome, I highly recommend them!<br /> Problem is, they're not always super easy to find.<br /> @Beyond2 Is there a Nordstroms near you? They're my favorite department store for bras and proper fittings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144541 Wed, 02 May 2012 07:51:13 +0000 hilsy85 144541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any department store should be able to do it...Macys, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144537 Wed, 02 May 2012 07:43:59 +0000 winniebee 144537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? You might consider to switching to to nursing bras at this point....so comfy! There's also a store called Intimacy that does great fittings, supposedly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144487 Wed, 02 May 2012 06:38:01 +0000 chopsuey 144487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got a fitting. I just went to Macys and tried a few maternity bras on. I would definitely get something asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144477 Wed, 02 May 2012 05:26:40 +0000 mediagirl 144477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Destination Maternity to have myself fitted. I don't think they did a good job and ended up picking a bra size that felt right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bra-fitting#post-144476 Wed, 02 May 2012 05:21:07 +0000 Beyond2 144476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in desperate need of a bra fitting. I wore a 34B pre pregnancy and am up to a 36D now but my bras are leaving full imprints on my chest by the evening. I have no idea what size I should be wearing. Do you know of any general chain stores that do fittings? I'm not sure where to go and we don't have any specialty stores near here. Thanks! </p>
