Bra fittings question
So after having 2 kids I'm going to be in need of some new better fitting bras soon. We don't have a Nordstroms nearby (I've heard lots about their fittings) and honestly, I don't really want to go have a fitting, I just want order some bras online.
Does anyone know of any good online resources for finding your size?
Re: Bra fittings question
Is there a reason you don't want to go in for a fitting? Because any online tool isn't really going to help. All bras will fit each person differently. I think it would be way more hassle to order bras, send them back, order new ones and repeat than just going in.
Once you know what brand and size works for you, you can of course order online.
ETA: Nordstrom isn't the only place to get fitted. Is there a local lingerie shop nearby?
There are all sorts of sites that will tell you how to measure yourself and estimate your size. However, I would still recommend a fitting. You aren't obligated to buy when they fit you but you can at least try on the bras in the recommended size to see if they really do fit.
I have tried measuring myself in the past have gotten all sorts of crazy sizes and they didn't fit. I went in to a bra shop and was fitted at a size I never thought would fit. Lo and behold, it fit and I no longer had back fat. It wasn't exactly my idea of a good time but the fit was worth it.
I just don't have time to go to a store for a fitting right now. And I just need to get a couple of cheap bras to get me by for a few months until I'm done nursing (I don't need nursing bras, just regular ones to wear to work).

Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Go in for a fitting. It might be a pain, but it could save you a lot of hassle in the long run.
I used an online guide to measure myself, but when I was trying on that size it just wasn't working...
So I had someone fit me and found I was WAY off. I was a band size smaller and 2 cup sizes bigger. I measured myself several times, but having someone who knows what they are doing is very helpful.
