Lingerie fitter has no idea what bra size you are either

Shock waves ran through the lingerie department of a major British retailer this week when it transpired that a woman staffing the changing room of its Staines branch had no earthly idea how to fit a bra.

“I asked for a bit of help because I used to be a 32E before having kids, but now I think I’ve gone down a bit,” said Caroline Saunders, sporting a visibly lumpy décolletage. “The lady told me I was actually a 34DD, so I tried on some of those, but my underarms started to crinkle up like an accordion so she brought in a 38F style.”

An uncomfortable silence followed as Caroline’s breasts fell straight through the overly loose T-shirt bra.

“After that, we tried a 28A, a 36C and a 42B that I think she’d actually picked up by accident,” Caroline reported. “Finally, she put a tape measure around my left knee, handed me a Tarot card, and told me to consider a mastectomy.”

After Caroline tweeted a picture of her back fat being sliced painfully in half by one of its bra straps, the retailer expressed regret.

“We train our lingerie staff to measure every man, woman and child who walks through the door as a 34B and send them on their merry way,” it said. “We regret that this customer’s experience fell short of our usual standards.”
