Bra Fitting??

Question

What will happen when I take my 12 year old daughter for a bra fitting?

Where do I go?

What will they do?

How far does she have to undress, if at all?

Will they have to see her topless?

Will they touch her b*****s?

Do they do it right in the middle of the store or whatever?

What should she wear?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Go to Victoria's Secret... just say that u need to get a bra size, and they will take a tape measure and she will keep her clothes on...

Answer 2

If you go to Victoria's Secret, they take you in the back to a dressing room if you are a "first timer", ask the girl if she wants to take off her top and bra, and measure.  They measure pretty quickly.  And if you're at V.S., don't worry -- they've seen so many b*****s in all shapes, sizes and colors, they couldn't care less!  It's easier to take the measurements without clothes, bra, etc., because they'll be accurate and you won't have to try on quite so many bras.  They have a little technique where, if the fitter is experienced, only the tape touches her b*****s, and the fitter takes the measurements from the side.

Some will measure you through your clothes, and mentally subtract an inch or two, but you'll usually end up trying on more bras to find one that fits in that case. Plus, if you are wearing a badly fitting bra already, it can throw off the measurements.  I had one salesperson at Chico's lingerie dept. whip out a tape to measure me right on the sales floor -- and I wasn't happy.  Some people are comfortable with that -- others need a little more privacy.  Don't be hesitant to ask for as  much privacy as you need.

Answer 3

I went to Marks and Spencers (They have an Angel line for girls)

They'll just measure below and above her b*****s.

She'll just have to take off her jacket/jumper and have her t-shirt on and they won't see her topless.

No, over in the lingerie section, they have Bra Fitting Rooms so just ask one of the women and they'll do it. In M&S theres a curtain between you and the woman with your daughter.

She can wear anything (I wore just normal clothes, t-shirt for when they measure)

Don't get her wired but don't get one of those ones with no support coz she'll not want to wear them (I didn't). Get her a nice white one and some other colours (maybe 2 others) and get her measured twice a year.

Good Luck =]

Answer 7

Actually assuming she is in an A or small B cup if that I would not even put her through the trauma and would get her something like this.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d...

My 12 year old daughter is about a 32 A to small B and I get her a 34. It is comfy and provides coverage and support and under a shirt she looks supported and lifted perfectly fine -- not that a 12 year old needs much help with lift.

If you do take her for the fitting they will do it in a private dressing room I am sure.  Other than that I have not gone for a fitting since I was 12-13 with my mother and all I remember is it was really traumatic and embarrassing for me -- even though I am sure the salesladies were perfectly professional (except for exclaiming about how big I was --34C at age 13).

If something like this would have been available and offered enough support I would have LOVED it back in the day.

Answer 8

My mom took me to victoria's sercet,

they just measure my chest and width, then gave me a bra.

No she doesnt have to get undress,

they probably will just move the measure, they wont touch her b***s. They might will do it outside of the closet.

Its not that embarssed, but excited to find my size!

Answer 9

Take her to victorias secret..she doesnt have to undress they just take a tape measure and measure around the breast and and right below it...they dont make it awkward or wierd its quick and they tell what your size is..and yes they can do it in the middle of the store.

Answer 10

Just have her dress in her normal clothes then take her to a deparment store...I suggest JcPenny since thats where I went when I wanted to find my bra size...They'll get her measurements and then its up to her to pick which bra she'll get out of the ones that fit her.

Answer 11

So i just had a bra fitting a couple weeks ago since my old ones were getting a bit small (i'm 14)

-I went to Aeries by American Eagle. Everyone who works there is female so there isn't anything for you to wory about.

-when you ask them for a measure, they'll take you and your daughter to the dressing rooms

- i didn't have to undress at all. she just put the measuring tape around my chest and measured

they do not have to see her topless, you can if you want her wear a tank top or something, but they do not ask for her to take off her clothes

-they will not touch any part of her breast or near, the measuring  only lasted for around 10 seconds

- no they will not do it in the middle of the store, its back in the dressing rooms

- she should wear anything she wants. it should make no difference whatsoever. if she feels comfortable, maybe have her wear a tanktop beneath a t shirt so that she can maybe just wear a tank top for the fitting, if not, it's perfectly ok.

good luck! just so you know, an alternative to this is if you or your daughter dont feel comfortable enough to do this, is just go to a store that specificly sells bras and try different ones on until she finds that one that fits and feels the best.

--- you might not want to take her to a huge department store like macy or jcpennys to do this becaue there are guys around and she might not feel comfortable enough for them to see that shes buying a bra

good luck!

Answer 12

Go to Victoria's Secret or any big department store.

They'll just wrap the tape measure around her b*****s, then around below her b*****s, compare the two measurements, and tell her what her size is.

She probably won't have to undress, although they may ask her if she'd like to, or if she's wearing a bra already, as that may throw off the measurements.

They won't have to see her topless.

They generally won't touch her b*****s, they'll just put the measuring tape around them.

They shouldn't do it right in the middle of the store - almost all department stores have lingerie fitting rooms where they'll do it.

She should probably wear a t-shirt or tank top, no bra (cause that will throw off the measurements) then a jacket or heavier shirt over it if she'd be uncomfortable going without a bra in public.

Personally, it's not traumatic. I had a fitting done years ago, and it only took a few seconds, and I didn't have to take any clothing off and the fitting lady didn't have to touch my b*****s at all.

Answer 13

Mam, please do not do that for your daughter's sake, that will embarrass her so bad, that she from then on will have a complex about her b*****s,trying hide them, wearing bigger blouses to cover herself,take your sewing measuring tape ask her if you can measure her around her chest? If she asks why,tell her that you are measuring her for her bras, and when she says ok, measure her around her body just under her b*****s that will give you the size 32 or 34or,etc. then you can tell about what size cup she would need, and that way mam, she'll still have her self confience about her body,(bad experience my mother did that to me ) for years mamI had such a feeling about my b*****s I did exactly what I told      you , she would probably do, and yes mam I lost all my self confidence too), if you really can not figure out the cup size (trial and error) get a size cup a,b let her try them on in private,she very well may ask for your help, and what you think,answer her honestly & truthfully, that will build a deep, true relationship w/ you   &  daughter!And mam, that's more important in the long run, don't cha think? From that time back, my relationship w/ my mother isn't so good, but I turned it over to God , He'll take care of it,(mam i'm now 55 yrs.old)

Answer 14

Bra fitter. I volunteer for the eighteen and over fitting position

Answer 15

1) jockey's good... victoria's secret is too

2) they'll ask her to lift her arms so they can get the tape, then they'll measure. then they'll give her 2 or 3 bras to try, and tell her to let them know when she's got 1 on.

3) she'll try the bras on, than the lady will come and see how it fits.

4) no...

5) of course not... they'll take her to the dressing room

6) pants, and any shirt that can come off easily...

Answer 16

You don't even need to go to an expensive store like Victoria's Secret. They have inexpensive ones at Target that are work just as well.. I myself recently bought one from there that fits perfectly and was a reasonable price!

If she's a petite girl start off with trying on training bras. If not, take a measurement of her bust to see whether she's a 32 or 34. Which ever one she is, begin trying on a cup size A, and if that's too small go to a B, etc.

G'luck!
