A professional bra fitting is a must. It actually will save you time vs trying to find the right bra by trying all of them on. Yes, they are expensive (for good quality ones) but so worth the investment. Women look better in good fitting bras and clothing hangs nicer. I love Wacoal. $60/each and they last a few years as long as I continue to wash gentle in a lingerie bag and hang dry. I, personally, would not want the challenge of fitting a handmade bra. Plus, i love my underwires. I am a DD.
