Edit to add: Make no mistake, they are wholesalers who cater to the RTW industry that HAPPENS to be open to the general public. Do not expect bright lights and wide clean aisles with price tags.
They have a solid selection of basic bra making supplies for MOST women at very good prices. Everything I purchased today was cheaper than any source I could find online - with the exception of one. Factoring in not having to pay of shipping and being able to satisfy my need for instant gratification, its a win-win. Oh, and they have their own private lot so no parking fee. When purchasing supplies for bra making, I will be heading to Finebrand first for basics, then head online for specialty items (underwires outside the RTW range, all fabrics related to unlined bra making, and other specialty notions etc) for the forseeable future.
I had none of the issues that other yelpers experienced. As a walk-in thats not in the industry, service seemed fine. The young woman who helped me wasn't knowledgeable on bra making but if you knew what you wanted, she can take you to it. In the few cases I asked for something she wasn't familiar with, she checked with an older employee to verify if they carried it and they always agreed during my visit. I would suggest you have a list of what you need ready - if you are not familiar with what they offer, they have an extensive product list on their website. During my short time there, it seemd the young woman was responsible for fashion students and general walk ins. Wholesalers and industry folks seemed to deal the the older gentleman. read more
