I've been a customer here for a long time (maybe not since the shop's inception but pretty close). Every experience has been great (I've gone here for daily wear bras, sports bras and wedding dress lingerie) and as someone with an ample chest (36 JJ, yikes!), I feel SO lucky we have a place like this in our backyard!
I felt compelled to review my visit today because it went the way I wish everything else went in my life on a regular basis: perfectly. I came in over lunch with a simple mission: Acquire at least one nude bra in the preferred style I love to death and a sports bra. Sports bras are admittedly hard to come by, it seems like the manufacturer's inventory is limited at any given point in the year, so I was not feeling entirely hopeful on that front. Anyway, the attendant swept me to the back, got me all measured (yes, they get handsy...I don't care because I want the perfect fit!), and brought me some options. Found exactly what I was looking for and then she brought me a few new things to try, I ended up getting a ton of new, well-fitting pieces to expand my wardrobe so my poor nude bras wouldn't take a daily beating. And yes, they even had the exact sports bra I needed!
After giving me some advice on making sure my girls were tucked in properly, I checked out, ended up filing my punch card to get a free bra wash (which I recommend everyone uses for their nice bras: SOAK is the brand), and I got checked out in under 30 minutes with time to get lunch and walk back to work. Had I not wanted to try on all the new stuff, it would have been much faster.
Yes, the bras are expensive. However, I've learned that my body is worth the investment. Having a properly fitting bra saves my back, shoulders and neck from major pain, not to mention all your clothes fit better with a proper bra! I come here 2-3x a year and do a decent stock-up, and liken it to maintainace on your car =}. In my time as a customer, I've bought a lot of bras (over 50 for sure, probably getting closer to the triple digits, ha ha) and yes, not all of them were winners after I wore them around for a while, but now I know what I like and the attendants help me find it. If you have no idea where to start, having all the different options is helpful and will ultimately help you figure out what you feel best in.
I've worked with several attendants, including the owner, and they are all accurate, fun, body-positive folks that don't make me think twice about whipping off my top! I really don't think you can pay your fitter a higher compliment than that! I think that level of customer service and the individual attention paid is definitely worth the cost of the garment. read more
