How can I find out what size bra I should be wearing?
All the fitters here at Rigby & Peller are trained to fit
bras along with all other aspects of underwear and swimwear. Our fitters never
use a tape measure to determine your size as a tape measure cannot take into
consideration body shape. Instead our fitters are trained to assess each
individual customer by using their superior product knowledge and fitting
expertise which is only gained by unique Rigby & Peller training and
experience.
How long does a fitting at Rigby & Peller take?
A fitting can take as long as you would like, from 10 minutes
or until you the customer feels entirely satisfied with your purchase. The bra
fitting is complimentary and each customer has her own personal fitter to take
her through all we have to offer, whether it is functional daywear or more
extravagant bras for the evening.
Your personal fitter is always on hand to offer advice on the
type of bra most suitable for your needs.
Can I bring back a bra which I have purchased which does not fit
me correctly?
We are happy to exchange any unworn bra you have purchased
which you find does not fit you correctly.
Bra Fitting Troubleshooting
While we do stress that it is best to come in and be
professionally fitted by our trained fitters we have listed a few scenarios and
guidelines which you should follow when buying or trying on a bra. We do not by
any means suggest that you use these guidelines as an alternative to a fitting;
they are simply guidelines which you may find helpful.
You find that your bra is loose around the edges.
Try a smaller cup size
You find that your breasts are spilling out of the front of the bra and your
silhouette is bumpy.
Try a bra with a smaller back and a larger cup size.
You find that your bra band is riding up your back.
Try a smaller back size.
Remember that Rigby and Peller and other brands we sell start at 30” back size
so hopefully you will be able to find one that fits you perfectly.
You find your straps are leaving indent marks.
Try a smaller back size so that the band of the bra is
supporting you.
You find that the under wire is digging under your armpit.
Try a bra with a bigger cup size.
You find that your breasts are falling out the bottom of the underwire.
Try a bra which is smaller in the back and larger in the cup.
You find that your size fluctuates.
This is a common problem for most women. We recommend that you
buy a bra with some stretch in it; this will mean that it is more comfortable.
If you find that you have large fluctuations in size, it can be helpful to have
a larger bra for these times.
