What is a bra maker called?
A bra fitting specialist is someone who has expertise in — you guessed it — the way bras fit. That means they’re able to determine your correct size, diagnose any fit-related issues you’ve had, and recommend specific products that are tailored to your breast shape, size, needs, and preferences.
How do I know if my bra fits properly?
The breasts should not spill out of the bra at the sides or in the middle. Double breasts must not form between the cups, nor should the breasts be pushed out towards the armpit. If they are, you have chosen a bra with a cup size that is too small: try a bigger size. The cup must not be too loose either.
Does M&S do bra fittings?
Our online bra fitters will do their best in all conditions. However, you’ll get the most out of your appointment if you wear your best-fitting bra, have stable internet connection and join your appointment from a quiet, private space. If possible, we’d suggest having a tape measure to hand, too.
Can I try on bras in M&S?

How often should a bra be replaced?
between 6-9 months
It’s generally recommended that a bra should last anywhere between 6-9 months, although we think that with good care your bras should last a lot longer.
