    Where in Cork should I go to be measured? I've never been measuured properly and through trial and error, I've found that only 34aaa fits and I can only buy these online and turn out to be ridiciously expensive. I'm 26 so I've definately stopped waiting to get bigger! :pac:

    Marks & Spencer or Debenhams if you have them...

    To be honest, bra sizes vary a bit depending on the shop, so unless there's no fitters/really bad fitters where you buy your bras, it's advisable to go to wherever you're going to be buying most of your bras. I'm a 34C in Penney's and a 34D in Dunnes (although the Penney's don't really fit perfect in any size for me)

    there's a lady in Debenhams in Mahon Point and she's brilliant - she'll go through a number of brands with you and will give you a lot of time......gotta say, she was great.

    I would say NOT M&S they're awful.

    There's an older lady in BT, blonde I think, she's good. Also the lingerie shop on Oliver Plunkett St across from Guineys (but her stock is not cheap)

    Different brands fit differently as well, so a 34AA in one but you might be 32A in another.

    If you find something that suits sign up to figleaves newsletter and keep an eye on their discounts and sales.

    Getting measured and then trying lots of different styles is the best way to go! I usually get measured every 6 months(ish), am usually a different size to the one I think I am at the time but some of my older bras still fit (which wouldn't be the same size I "measure"). I usually go with M&S or Debenhams in Dublin but, as far as I know, both of these stores are also in Merchant's Quay SC in Cork. Most large department stores have smaller sizes in some brands and, if you get measured there, the staff are usually very helpful in helping you find ones off the shelf that fit.
