After buying my bras from discount department stores for the last 10 years or so, I thought I'd try Casamia. I expected after being specially fitted and with their premium brands I'd be much happier with the bra.

I don't know whether it was just a bad day, but after being there for 30 mins (I had my fitter's attention on and off as she spoke to the other staff member) and trying on quite a few bras, I ended up leaving with 3 bras that seemed to fit the best.

Over the next few days, I was less than impressed after wearing each of them for a full day. I even found (when I looked at the label on one) that it was one size lower in the band, and 3 or 4 sizes bigger in the cup than I normally wear! But even the other two were rubbing and tight by the end of the day.

I went back in to ask about the over/under sizing in that one bra, and she was going to offer a refund or exchange until I explained that after wearing it for a day it was so uncomfortable, so she said that since it had been worn she couldn't refund. She advised me to try to push the underwire in further and sew it in position so it didn't poke into me, but couldn't offer anything else.

I think I'll be sticking to my Big W bras from here since I know they're a whole lot more comfortable than these ones that were specially fitted to me!

I'm very disappointed at the huge waste of money since I had to chuck them out.
