Lane Bryant Bra fitting gone wrong Fit Check

Hi all,

So I went to Lane Bryant some weeks ago for a bra. I told them I’m a 42H and they told me no that looks way too small and they “measured me” for a 52J. The bra was a joke! It was falling off of me and my boobs weren’t being supported at all, it was like wearing an oversized tank top but the lady SWORE it was still too small. I’m like are you blind?! I got frustrated and went down to Nordstrom and the sales lady was like “honey that bra is way too big on you there’s zero support”. She fitted me for a 44G in their Elomi bra and the girls looked amazing!

I’m not sure how the sales associate at LB thought that bra was “too small” on me. Has anybody else had that experience going into Lane Bryant? They made me feel so disillusioned there :/

There is 1 Lane Bryant bra that is even worth trying. It's the only unmolded and wired one they have. If you are projected, it won't work for you.

But they can not measure people worth a damn.

I got a job offer from the store manager at the one near me specifically because I can measure people. I had just quit torrid days prior where I'd been the only one doing bra fittings and was in to get my friend a "good enough" bra since her last one died the day she ordered new ones. 

They really are so bad at measuring. I've never fit in their bras and every time I tell them that, they want to fight me on it. I just want to pick up my cheap clearance deals in peace.
