Have you ever had a prof. bra fitting?
 I finally got up the nerve to go get fitted. went to vickys secret...Of course she said their bras sizes differ from others, but according to her- Im supposed to be a 46 DD... which doesnt make sense to me cause I just bought a bra the other day and it was a 44 C. The band part fits great but the cup area feels a little roomy.... what is the best way to fit for a bra? I look up stuff on the net and find that there are several methods...

GRRRRR!!! I hate hate hate bra shopping...

 At least you have boobies to put in them!  In some brands, even the 32As are too big!!  eek!

That's what I was thinking! Last time I had them do it, they kept giving me bras that were "supposed" to be my size, that were way too small!

I really need to go and get a real one done somewhere though...

 I am bummed to hear that VS did not help you ladies. 
I went there about 10 years ago and was fitted and finally got bras that fit good.  :)  I know their sizes may be a bit different than elsewhere, but I had never found a bra that ever did fit ritght before VS, so that is where I go.  I try for sales..

 I used to be an assistant mgr at Vicky's.  I've found that a specialty bra store does a more accurate bra fitting. I have an unusual bra size and I've had more success with specialty shops than Vicky's. Some brands vary greatly in their bra size.

 I had mine done at Victorias Secret years ago and then again a year or 2 back at Lane Bryant.  I have the perfect size at Lane Bryant now and know just what to get.

 I am not sure what site I read how to do a bra measurement, but it was so perfect!  I realized I was wearing a wrong bra size.  I haven't gone to get measured professionally.  I have heard that they are pokey and touchy in areas that I don't want other woman touching!

 Does Vicky's now have plus size bras?  The last time I went in I needed to go up to a 40 and 38 was the biggest they had.  The clerk was dismissive and downright rude when she realized they had no bras to fit me.  Hey - I still could of bought a robe or panties!  I haven't been back in since.

I have found that the stores here in CO don't carry much in the larger sizes (which I need), but usually online they have a bit more selection than just the basic bra.
I love VS, don't get me wrong. They are the most comfortable bra I've ever had and pretty much the only brand I wear. It was just the fitting that didn't go so well LOL. The girl kept trying to tell me I was a C cup. Ummm there is no way these are fitting in a C cup. I had to show her that my cups were running over :?

 I had one done at Macy's one day.  I didn't go for one...just was looking at bras, she asked if I'd been fitted and she was so nice I turned around and found myself agreeing to it.  I don't regret it a bit.  I discovered I'd been wearing the wrong size for years (shocker) and when I wear the right size it's amazing how much more comfy it is!!!

Re: Have you ever had a prof. bra fitting?
 I will never again shop at VS. After I had Cole I went to get a bigger bra cause the boobies went from a 32A to a 36something or other and the girl told me they did not have bras that would fit me. Granted this was over 6 years ago and I think they have changed their thinking, but I was pissed then and am still pissed now.

I usually get mine at the mall, such as Dillards or something.

Sorry it does not fit your right...can you take it back?
