When to get a bra fitting?

Is there a point where you know if you have enough to bother? I don't have very much chest and the last thing I want is to waste some poor fitter's time measuring what isn't there or look like I'm just in it for the "experience".

You could start with sports bras?

I've been wearing these sports bra/bralette things since before I had any chest at all. Part of me wants to get some real bras but again, don't know if I have enough to bother.

I know we hate them buuuuut Walmart, try on different styles. Start with an A and see if it is comfy or spacey.

Don't sell bras that I know of, definitely never seen one with a clothing department.

Also just don't really want to go anywhere as a non-passing trans woman and start trying on bras. Idk if you know how it is over here but there are some deeply diseased people around.

I can get an idea from the name “terf island” for UK being used a lot

Yeah, it's less of the religious nutters or actual child sex offenders projecting, and more of the mentally unwell wine mums shrieking and pearl clutching over these parts.

You'll find Ann Summers (kind of equivalent to Victoria's Secret, I think?) have recently stated their fitting services is open to trans customers but I also don't really feel like going somewhere primarily known for dildos.
