If you are large busted then you need to go see Iris. I know someone called her the bra whisperer and they are exactly right. I walked in on a whim and Iris immediately helped me find the right size and brought me three of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn. It turns out I don't hate the underwire--I hate it when it the bra doesn't fit properly. Anyway, if you hate your bra and immediately strip it off the moment you get in the door, go see Iris. She's slammed on Saturdays but manages three to four customers with ease. Even if you have to wait, it is SO worth it. read more

If you take a few moments and read through the 1 star reviews you will likely start to notice a pattern in the treatment of customers, specifically by the store owner Iris. She uses many high pressure sales tactics including degrading comments and bullying customers into making purchases. It is has been about 5 months since my experience there and the traumatizing experience has stayed with me so I felt compelled to write a review. I don't want to re-live the experience so suffice it to say that the details of my experience mirror the poor treatment of customers by the owner Iris. I'm writing this review so if you do choose to patronize this store you know what you are potentially going to encounter. So you can be better prepared so you don't end up with a $200 poorly fitting bra and leave feeling belittled, berated and like less of a human. 1. FYI: Bras are NOT returnable except for store credit only. 2. If you do try to do this, be prepared for an argument, one that you can only win by talking more and talking more loudly. Imagine having an argument with Trump... 3. Do NOT let Iris pressure you to wear the bra out of the store and cut the tags off the bra 4. There is literally nothing special about the bras here, they are all the brands you can find in store or online. Go to Nordstom and have a fitting for free and no pressure to buy. 5. Be prepared to spend a minimum of $60-90 for 1 bra 6. Please know that no one deserves to be treated poorly. If you are a non-confrontational person, all you have to do is walk out the door. Despite what Iris says, you are NOT required to buy a bra if don't want to. Use your feet to do the talking. read more

My experience at Iris Lingerie wasn't all that great. For the amount of money you're spending and for just being a human alone, one would think to walk into a door and exchange "hello's /how are you's/good afternoons." The sales person was cordial but more interested in serving the high class mother-daughter duo getting ready to vacation somewhere. I understand and wait my turn patiently without complaint and with a smile on my face. Then comes boss lady and asks if I've been there before and to go to the fitting room in the back, remove my coat and t-shirt to do a bra fitting. Initially, I was the only person back there so I hoped that she would listen to my concerns and help me find a great bra. I was already wearing her favorite Chantelle brand bra and she seemed surprised. She immediately threw three other options at me without asking what style or shape I was looking for. She barely even looked at me. She kept telling me that these are the best bras on the market and what i'm getting would be the newest and most fashionable. Okay great, I appreciate that but I'm looking for something basic like a full coverage bra. She said that the ones she gave me were the best for my size.Then another customer came in. She may have been a frequent shopper at Iris Lingerie because she was getting a great deal of attention and lots of conversation and attention to detail. After much frustration, I purchased a bra that I liked, but wasn't looking for and concealing petals. I'll stick to buying my Chantelle bras online or looking for another distributor who cares more about their customers. read more

I won't even get into the details...just prepare to be "greeted" (more like unwelcomed in) upon entering with a policy that requires you to agree to purchase a bra before they will help or fit you. If you can handle the rude and condescending attitude --and clear expectation that you don't waste their time-- go for it! They offer great brands for larger busts (primadonna, chantelle) but I didn't even take the time to try on I walked right back out after feeling entirely unwelcome. Looks like other reviewers have had similar experiences, even experienced body shaming. Yikes. read more

I need to qualify my review by saying I did not stay. I did not have the fitting because I found the woman who spoke to me to be so off-putting. There was no one in the store when I came in and then three women came from the back room. I came in on a whim because I was in the neighborhood and WAS looking to buy a bra and wanted a fitting. The lead woman treated me as if I were going to rob her and told me coldly I could only get a fitting if I made a purchase. (Like does she have people who just want to undress and have her touch their breasts for the hell of it? I'll continue my search. read more

If you are looking to be berated, insulted and disrespected than this is the shop for you! It is a shame because they do have an excellent selection of lingerie. Over the course of several years, I have tried to frequent this establishment, however time and again the proprietor's demeanor and surly attitude gets in the way of having a positive shopping experience. read more

THERE IS NO WHERE ELSE FOR YOU TO GO. GO NOWHERE ELSE TO BUY A BRA EXCEPT FOR IRIS. I'm just going to be clear and frank. 40H. 45 yo. Pendulous boobs. I walked into Iris. She ushered me to the back. Her assistant eyeballed me. She brought FOUR BEAUTIFUL bras. She had me try them on, was clear that the different brands had different fits, and I walked out of there with three perfectly fitting bras that put my boobs where they SHOULD be, looking like they should. She also gave me very concrete information about the bras I should buy--so now I know something clear about how I should select bras in the future. Specifically, that I need seams to give my boobs shape and to hold them forward. This was, without a doubt, the best bra fitting I have ever had. It was clear, she had an AMAZING selection, and I left more educated than when I went in. THIS IS THE BEST BRA STORE IN NEW YORK CITY. Do not SLEEP on this. read more

Iris is phenomenal. I loved watching her juggle 3 customers at the same time, with aplomb. I'm not certain how she keeps such a wide selection in such a small space but it's a great magic trick. I have been fitted by many & I have to buy good quality bras due to my cup size- so am used to the process- but, Iris is the best I have ever seen. Next time I'm in NY, I will be back. Some customers might want more "flowery" attention but I lived Iris's practical, no nonsense approach. She is very intuitive, also. ;) read more

Deeply disappointed with my experience here. Came because of the incredible reviews, and Iris did seem like she really knew what she was doing. Bought three bras for about $75 each, but Iris said that one needed to be taken in at the back and straps, which their tailor could do for an $8 charge--just by her description of what needed to be done (I asked if I needed to be measured, but was told no, they were such pros they could do it by eye). I've been looking for a great fitting bra forever, so this seemed perfect. I picked it up later in the week, and my brand new, $75 bra is unwearable. The tailor took too much off the back strap, and now it's super painful just to try on. I went back to the store hoping for a solution, and it turned into a SCENE with Iris refusing that they'd done anything wrong, here's a strap extender and everything's fine. But I paid $83 for a bra I now can't wear without an itchy extra part, even after asking if they needed to take measurements to make sure it'd be a good fit. The customer service was just terrible. Iris argued with me for ten minutes, finally said she'd refund just the tailor fee, and kept insisting that it would stretch out. It won't stretch out if I literally cannot wear it to start with, and if you insist something needs to be tailored with you, you are then responsible for the outcome--the bra is unwearable, and they should've offered to refund or replace it, not just the $8 fee. I'm incredibly frustrated I wasted so much money here. I will not be returning, and if they offer to tailor something for you, SAY NO. read more

Best. Bra. Fitting. Ever. I went into the shop on a whim. I have needed new bras for a while but I don't know what I need. Iris and Norma are top notch professionals. Not only did they know exactly what I needed, but they were all around lovely. I will be back and I will only buy my bras from Iris Lingerie. read more

Love, love, LOVE! Every woman in Brooklyn needs to treat herself with a trip to Iris. I went here with a friend who was RAVING about her, but I had my doubts. She has a bra size that I could only dream of: 30D. While I'm a 32B who only wears push-up bras and flirts with the idea of a boob job. When we went, we were immediately seen and given a variety of bras. All of them fit right without Iris even using measuring tape. She just looked and knew. And yeah, like people said, she's to the point. But I love that! She's like that TMI auntie who always keeps it real with you. Anyway, I walked out with a bra that wasn't a push-up. And, best of all? I left feeling good about myself and my B-cup boobies. read more

Iris is the best! This was my daughter and I 2nd time here. After trying places like Macy's for the perfect bra for her prom dress we came back to Iris and found the perfect bra! Comfortable and perfect! Thank you Iris for always getting it right! Bye bye Macy's! read more

Iris Lingerie - Lingerie Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been seeing Ms. Iris for about 5 years. I've recommend her to many friends and will continue to do so. She's very assertive and no-nonsense. The whole appointment can take under 10 minutes. She knows boobs and has an incredible assortment of high-quality products. If you have big boobs and are still buying bras from big box stores, or even from quality retailers but doing so online, you need to see Ms. Iris for a proper fitting. You really just need 2-3 good regular bras and one sports and you're good to go. It feels like a pricey investment but it is an investment in your body and will last for many many months (years!) if you care for the bras properly. read more

I finally retired ol' faithful after two great years, and after failing to find the same bra again (discontinued), I ventured into getting a new fitting. I found this location on Yelp. Okay, so the workers at Iris scoffed at my inappropriate size, but I think they were scoffing more at VS's mis-sizing than they were at my revealing the size, and I didn't take it personally. First trying on the new size, smaller band and larger cup, it felt wrong - too small and uncomfortable - but after some wear I do feel a lot better! And I look better too, more put together and less frumpy. I recommend for everyone to come for a sizing; it could make all the difference in wearing your favorite shirts. The prices were expected, and I didn't feel overcharged (as I do in VS). I felt like I was paying for quality, which is my number one goal. You do have to disrobe, so be prepared for that, but I heard that's standard for bra fittings. I'm just not used to that and I don't think I can get used to it. Overall the workers were very nice and helpful, and I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully I won't need to see them again but if so, I'd be happy to return. It's a cute little shop within a shop and I didn't feel overwhelmed with a retail store vibe. Would recommend! read more

Easiest, quickest, most no-nonsense bra fitting I've ever had..... and I've been getting regularly fit for almost 20 years. Like to browse? This is not your place. Want a good bra that fits in under 10 minutes? Get your boobs to Iris pronto. read more

I came all the way from Boston because of everything I'd read about Iris. She did NOT disappoint, and I am not easy to fit. Call her the "boob whisperer" or the "bra whisperer"....she has a sixth sense that determined my size and needs in minutes. Her years of experience and the obvious pride she has in her work make the difference. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Came to this place because I knew I needed to upgrade my bra game, and Iris Lingerie as gotten a ton of good press. I was promptly seen by Norma, and I swear to you, she took one look at what I was working with, and automatically knew what I needed, even when I didn't know myself. Needless to say, I walked in with an ill-fitting bra, and walked out feeling like a million bucks. I purchased two every day bras and one strapless, though I fully intend to go back in a few months to get more. I also met Iris, who is just as incredible as everyone says--she knows her stuff. 85 percent of women wear the wrong size bra. If you know that's you, visit Iris. Total game changer. read more

I visited Iris on 12/28 requesting to be fitted in a bra I've purchased from her in the past. She refused to show me that bra, staying that it was "not right" for me because I "gained weight". I was so embarrassed and uncomfortable that I ended up buying something that didn't suit my needs. I returned to make an exchange on 1/8, and she made it as difficult and unpleasant as possible. I did not have my receipt, which she gave me a hard time about, but ultimately was able to pull it up from credit card records. She then told me that I could not exchange the bra based on the fact that she gave me a 10% discount citing that that is store policy. I protested that that is not a fair business practice because I was not informed of this policy when offered the discount. She then told me I had an attitude and asked me what my problem was. After much discussion, she agreed to make the exchange. She went on ad nauseum about how great she is at customer service while begrudgingly ringing me up for the bra I requested in the first place. I ultimately left with what I came for and am happy with the product. She also sold me a great strapless bra during my visit on 12/28. However, Iris is exhausting to deal with (you really shouldn't make rude comments about a customer's body during a fitting) and her prices aren't competitive enough to justify having to go through that again. For someone who talks so much about how good they are at customer service, she leaves a lot to be desired. read more

I have long heard how Iris is amazing and finally I made a visit today. I was in need of new bras and intended to buy at least 2 (I bought 3). I just now read the reviews and I seems I had one of the more negative experiences. Although, I wouldn't say I would never go back I am surprised how little Iris listened to me during the fitting. I tried to explain what I didn't like about my old bra and she told me she didn't want to hear it. (I thought that was the point of the visit?) Iris is very gruff and dismissive. She made a comment about me being concerned about the price, even though I never mentioned anything about price. I hadn't even looked at the price tags yet. I assumed I'd be spending $100 a bra and in the end I paid $224 for 3 bras. Once I start wearing them I will no more about her ability to fit me. But the customer service from Iris is a bit rough around the edges for me. However, her staff seems lovely. I was not clear on why I had to show my vaccine card to shop there though. I wore my mask the entire time. So why did they need me vaccine card? I'm pretty tough so I guess Iris didn't upset me too much but if you're a little shy or sensitive about your body (weight gain for example) maybe steer clear of Iris. read more

Amazing work here. I was fitted by Sam and Iris was around, and it took maybe 5-10 minutes before they found my perfect fit. Bra shopping has mostly been a guessing game for me until today, and they taught me so much about placement and fit in that short amount of time that I will continue to come back. I wore one of my new bras out of the door because it was more comfortable than what I came in with. Highly recommend going in for a fitting. read more

Unfortunately if I could take back going to Iris Boutique, I would. experiences are subjective and i am only offering my personal interactions with Iris at this boutique - having said that, the way that Iris reacted to me trying to return a bra was incredibly unprofessional, rude, hostile and inappropriate that I feel it is necessary to warn others. It was the most unpleasant experience ever. The first time I met Iris pulled two nice fitting day to day bras for me. I found her to be lively, nice and attentive. No complaints. I was looking for a plunge bra and the only one she had was a silicon sticky bra, which I felt she was pushing on me by taking it out of the box and trying to sell me a size that was not right. I really needed something so I bought it. It was not ideal and I never opened the box after purchasing. Upon searching further I was able to find a plunge bra that was a lot more secure and could be used again (for what I don't know ha). I read the receipt which said bras can be returned for store credit and promptly went back to the store 2 days later. Before I could even explain, Iris was extremely aggressive with me saying the bra I bought was an "accessory" and not a bra according to her and therefore final sale. So I understand that return policies can be unique. And I understand that the policy was not articulated clearly. Or even if in another universe the policy had been clear and I was the confused one, Iris owes every human being the respect that people deserve. She would not let me talk, she raised her voice, talked over me, got rude and aggressive and basically treated me with zero respect. I was really shocked! And her reaction was extremely inappropriate given that I maintained a calm demeanor throughout. anyway it was an awful awful experience which stayed with me for an afternoon. Definitely Not worth the average bras you would get there. but since my two visits were pretty schizophrenic maybe it's worth the risk if you are in the neighborhood and in desperate need of a bra...just be warned that a need for customer service arising might set Iris off. Then you are in the weeds my friend. read more

Can I give zero stars? In need of some new bras and a good fitting, I went to Iris on recommendation of a friend. I went in with the open mind of someone seeking advice, and was willing to listen to that advice. That is why I bought two bras that the fitter told me were a great fit. But when I went home and looked at them, I realized they looked ridiculous. One was a push up bra, which made my boobs look beyond enormous, and which also buckled away from my breasts at the top. The other was more like a torpedo bra that Madonna wore in the 80s. I also know, because the assistant said it, that they were low on inventory in my size. I feel like they put me in something that clearly didn't work, and told me it looked fabulous so that I would buy it. I went in for expertise, and came out with expensive merchandise that I won't ever wear, and I feel like I was taken advantage of and brainwashed. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I'd seen an article online about the best bra fitters in the city, and Iris Lingerie was one of the five listed. I briefly researched each one, and decided to give Iris a try. I'm so glad I did! Iris took one look at me in my ill-fitting bra (which she didn't let me leave the store with, haha) and came back with the right fit, the first try! She brought several different styles to my fitting room, and kept checking the fit to make sure it was correct. She's sweet and definitely knows her stuff! The other two women on staff were also very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. Ladies...you're probably wearing the wrong size bra. I went in wearing a 38C (which definitely felt wrong, I also had 36D bras at home) and I left in a 34G. G!! I couldn't believe it. I had no idea how off I was. The other women who were there getting fitted were having the same reaction as I was. Disbelief, but also - more importantly - RELIEF. I didn't even want to take the bra off when I was going to bed, haha. My clothes look better, my posture even seems better. Amazing. I'm never going back to the old way. A department store bra is not in my future. I'm actually going back next month for a strapless and t-shirt bra. There are a TON of gorgeous bras and other garments. It's a really cute place. I have 3 friends who are coming with me, next month, too! See you then, Iris! And thank you, again, for a wonderful experience. read more

As soon as I entered, Norma greeted me with a smile. I explained I wanted to a proper bra fitting because my breast had grown from the 34C that I have been fitted for by Victoria's Secret years back. Norma didn't even measure me except with her eyes. She showed up two bras that felt phenomenal and supportive. So I am now a 32F . The bra fits sooooo good. I felt the difference as soon as I put them on. I purchase two bras and am super excited to have the proper size and support. They look great! It took less than 15 minutes from start to finish. Some reviews complained about the prices. While they are not the Victoria's Secret or more bargain prices you are see in other stores, you are paying for quality and my breast are worth every cent. Iris and Norma, I will definitely be back! My boobs thank you both read more

First, let me preface this by saying that this review is not meant as an indictment against the shop as a whole, but rather an account of my disappointing negative experience with Iris herself in a bra fitting on May 2, 2014. Previously, I was fitted by Ria and walked away satisfied with 3 very nice bras. I am writing this mostly as a cautionary tale for other girls like me. The fitting started off well enough. I went into the dressing room and she started handing me bras to try on. She then handed me some Elomi Ritas in various colors, which did not fit me well as I was overflowing the cups. Normally, this is just part of the process, but then she started telling me "you need to lose weight," and that's when things started to go downhill. Naturally, I was a bit taken aback by such a rude comment, but I brushed it off as maybe a joke or she was just being a bit insensitive accidentally. So, she started giving me other bras to try on, and all the while, she kept on this "you need to lose weight" track. She even brought out the bra I eventually ended up getting, and she said she would give me an extender for free as a motivation to lose weight (because she assumed I was too big to hook it myself, although I was able to). So, at this point I was beginning to feel pretty uncomfortable and couldn't really laugh it off anymore. Yet still, for some reason, she persisted in this weight loss conversation. She asked me how I was going to lose weight, and told me that her doctor said she needed to get healthy because her cholesterol was high or something. I guess that was a subtle attempt at concern trolling me, as if to imply that I should lose weight because she is worried about my health. This is when I really felt she started to cross the line. I told her how my BF and I had met (online), and she proceeded to tell me that our relationship was invalid and that he wasn't really my BF, just some internet guy. She also proceeded to say that "skinny girls" probably flirt with my BF, I assume to once again "motivate" me to lose weight to compete with them, and she implied that I might lose him or he might give me an ultimatum if I don't lose weight. She even seemed to imply that I would have nothing to live for if my BF left me. So this condescension continued for a little while longer, and I am still literally losing sleep over not storming out right then and there, until the topic turned on to diet. I had told her that my BF was vegan, and so now Iris and her assistant told me that I should consider being vegan. She also said that I should stop drinking soda (which I don't drink often, as if it is anyone's business) and replace it with seltzer water and a piece of fruit. I don't need to tell anyone that diet and dieting is already a touchy subject, even if one is not fat, so it is baffling that anyone would think it would be appropriate to tell a stranger that they need to stop eating foods that they assume the person is eating. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought I was in a Weight Watchers store, but then again, I doubt Weight Watchers is this insensitive and condescending to their customers. Now things subtly shifted to my socio-economic status, with equally disappointing results. She began by suggesting that I get a personal trainer or go on Weight Watchers, all without me ever indicating my intention to lose weight or requesting help in doing so. I told her that I was currently unemployed and that I couldn't afford those things, and then she questioned how I could buy a bra then. I let her know that my BF (which she apparently didn't approve of, as if she was my mother) got his tax return and gave me some money to buy a bra as a gift. It was then that she suggested that I go on Welfare, Disability...or get a job at McDonald's. I couldn't believe it. I don't know if it was the way I was dressed or what, that made her assume I was uneducated or unskilled, but apparently that's what she did. Whatever the case was, and whatever my reaction was, how I was treated by Iris that day wasn't right. I don't know why she decided to treat me that way, whether my race (hispanic), socio-economic status (not well off), or weight, and I don't know if she has treated any other customers like that, but I was made to feel like not only a second class citizen, but as if Iris was offended or even disgusted by me patronizing her shop. In any case, the treatment I received was not only inappropriate, it was clearly discriminatory, fat shaming, concern trolling, and borderline verbal harassment. Unfortunately, at this point, I feel that any sense of intimacy or openness that existed before has been totally betrayed by this experience. I was made to feel so uncomfortable and ashamed that, even if an apology was offered, I regret I will not ever be able to return to the shop. I'm not even angry about it. I'm just sad and disappointed. I hope no one else has an experience like I did. read more

I have never had an expert bra fitter fit me before. It was amazing. I called ahead of time to see if they had a low back bra for under my new dress. When I arrived I knew I had to go in the back and under a store somehow... I figured out how to get to the store and man was it small down there! But once I was hanging around down there I felt like it was a perfect little space to run their bra fitting business. I was really afraid to have my boobs showing infront of a stranger and Iris said she would close her eyes. By the end we were trying on different bras at lightning fast speed and I felt totally comfortable. I thought I was in between a 32C and a 34B- turns out I'm a 32D-32DD. Which totally makes sense. I'm wearing my new bra right now and I feel so sexy. No- it's like all my prayers have been answered. Be prepared to drop at least 55$ on a perfectly fit new bra. I spent $236 on three totally sexy bras and I'm going back for a sports bra I tried on next week. I encourage every woman to go see Iris and Ria. It's an amazing experience! read more

Very friendly. They Know different sizing and, shapes for many body types. I bought 4 bras at about $75-$100 a piece. Thus was 5 years ago. They're all still very fitted. Not loose. On one bra the wire poked out but, I took it to the tailor and he put it back in and sewed it up. read more

The women here were so helpful and patient with me. I must've tried 15 different styles before we found the perfect one. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been going to Iris for years. She's guided me as my body has changed over time -- breastfeeding, weight loss, age, weight gain, more age :) and as my needs have changed i.e. my most recent visit she offered me a "pandemic" bra, a super comfortable soft support bra that I can wear around the house and for business zoom meetings. I can't imagine just walking into a department store and pulling bras off the rack and getting to the right strap and cup size in the amount of time it takes Iris to zero in and select the ones that will fit best. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes -- which is just about as much time a year I can spare to buy bras -- with 4 high-quality ones that will last me a long time. read more

Owner, Iris is a very sweet lady who does custom bra fitting. She has an eye for sexy, practical and comfort. Consultation is free but she asks that you make at least one bra purchase based on her recommendation. Her bra prices are reasonable and you can expect to pay what you would at a department store. But come support Iris instead as her little shop is tucked away downstairs within another shop. She doesn't charge extra and only makes a profit from the bras you buy. She has to make a living somehow! read more

I never realized the difference a good bra makes! OMG. I always shopped at a certain popular bra store (*cough, cough, VS), and never thought anything of it. I went to Iris looking for a bra that would work with my wedding dress (been on this search for months), and I left with a bra for my wedding dress, a bra for everyday use, and a bathing suit! I've never had a bra fit me this well, and my clothes fit me better now also. I have more support, with less padding, and the bra fits like a glove without being too tight. Iris was wonderful. Very direct and matter of fact (she immediately told me that my bra size was too small and to stop shopping at that certain bra store, lol). I love directness, especially when the advice lives up to it. Its like the bra was made just for me. I would have bought more, if I had the money! I'm definitely going back to buy a few more everyday bras, and some cute lingerie for the honeymoon. I'm so happy, I want to tell every woman I know! For now, I'll go with the less awkward option of posting a review =) read more

I walked out of Iris Lingerie feeling like a new person! As a new mom on the tail end of weaning a 15-month old baby, I was in need of some serious attention to my bra situation. The expertise and care I experience at Iris Lingerie was incredible and fast too! I highly recommend to anyone in need of some bra TLC. read more

This is a little spot on Atlantic that you have to pass through another store to find. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and got a bra fitting within minutes. Iris definitely knows her chests. And, LADIES, I was so wrong about my size. So, so wrong. How I went 20-mumble years being so very ignorant about both band and cup size... egad. I left with an amazing sports bra that looks better under shirts than anything else I own and one t-shirt bra that they are customizing the band on (for only an additional $2). There's not many frills here, but you definitely do feel welcomed. I paid the same as I would have online. read more

I've been buying bras from Iris Lingerie for several years now and every time I visit the shop, I'm always astounded by how wonderful I feel as I walk out wearing a new bra that was expertly picked for my body by Iris. Her depth and breadth of knowledge is unmatched and her warmth mitigates the potential for the awkwardness one might expect to feel during a bra fitting. I highly recommend Iris Lingerie to women of all shapes and sizes who are eager to find bras that will fit well, look beautiful, and feel great! read more

For those of us with a little (or a lot) extra on top, finding pretty bras that fit can be a nightmare. I have been wearing a 36F for years, which is hard to find in non-boutiques. I had gone to the internet for refuge, and I did luck into a couple things that fit, but for the most part, I got things that were a little too big here or a little too small there, and nothing that ended up being really flattering. I read all of the good reviews of Iris, and I live so close that I couldn't not go and see what all the fuss was about. And, like everyone else has said, the entire experience was phenomenal. The sales girl I was working with actually wore the same size as I did, and she showed me a number of things that she had purchased for herself. Turns out, I'm not a 36F, I'm a 34G. The girls at Iris figured that out instantly, and I was skeptical until I put on a bra that fit better than anything I had ever worn before. I ended up walking out with a bra, panties, stockings, and a special order for a bra/panty/garter belt combo that I was able to pick up about two weeks later. All three women that I interacted with were the nicest people, I felt totally comfortable taking off my shirt and bra in front of them, and they were totally gentle and respectful when they needed to touch me to make adjustments. I also have this issue where I wear bras out really fast, and it turns out that, though Iris's stock is on the more expensive side, they will alter the straps for you when they start to stretch out! That sold me more than almost anything else because it can double the life of your bra. When my budget allows, I'm going back for more! read more

I was fitted by another place and enjoyed their bras. I needed a new place bc I moved back to Brooklyn. So obvi I yelped and found Iris. My friend from Boston was in town so I begged her to come with me since Iris has limited hours and I needed a new bra ASAP. We went and and both left very happy. Iris and Ria know their stuff. They put me in great bras of all different sizes and styles. I think I'm a 34/36 F or G or some other letter depending on the manufacturer. I don't know and don't care because when I go to a bra fitter I expect them to put me in something that fits. It's not about the number its about the fit when it comes to bras. I've been going to the gym so I am now between a 34/36 (I used to be a 36). Iris gave me 34s with an extender. Instead of scamming (like some places I've been to before) she knew that I would probably go down in band size before cup size so she made sure the bras I was buying would adjust to my hopefully shrinking figure. They bring you bras that are priced all over the place and even found me a bra on sale. I knew going in that I would be spending money because when you want high quality products that are a specialty (34 G is impossible to find) you have to spend money. I appreciate a place that doesn't try to only sell me $120 bras when there are plenty of 60$ bras I could wear. I did end up getting a bra for $60 and a bra for $120 but because I chose to not because they pushed me. Really really impressed. I'm bringing my mother next time she comes to visit bc lord knows that woman needs a professional! lol The only con is the limited hours. I understand that this is a small place and they serve a particular crowd so they have limited hours. It's probably not worth it for them to be open 9-9 like a regular shop. read more

Iris is a rude, arrogant and unpleasant bra fitter. I felt rushed and just overall uncomfortable. I ended up just checking the brands that I tried on and will be purchasing the same $70 bra elsewhere for a cheaper price most likely. read more

Echoing all the other reviewers here, Iris and her team are absolutely fantastic, and they stock beautiful, high-quality bras for women of all sizes. I went to Iris Lingerie yesterday because it had been several years since I'd last been fitted for a bra, and hey, the body changes over time as we all know. The experience was awesome. It was the most comfortable, least awkward bra shopping experience I've ever had, and I found out that I've been wearing the wrong bra size for a long time. Oops! I walked away with two awesome new bras that actually fit me (wow, what a difference to not have the girls drooping down my chest!), and while they were fairly pricey, Iris presented me with a bunch of different options at different price points that worked, so I felt like I had a lot of choices when I made my final decision. This was particularly great, because as a bigger busted woman, I often run into trouble finding any options, and that's if a store stocks my size at all. Plus, I don't mind paying a bit extra for bras when I know they are high quality and will last me a long time. Completely satisfied and thrilled with the whole experience. Thank you Iris! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Iris and Norma! Came in on a Sunday for a walk-in appointment and Norma immediately whisked me into a fitting room. After thinking I was a 34B, and then a 32C, and a lot of trying on bras (I must have tried on 20+ bras!) we finally found my correct size (34C) and I purchased some really lovely bras. It was nice to feel like they were really invested in trying to find me the perfect fit - and both Iris and Norma are very kind and funny. Norma gave me lots of good tips about fitting bras and listened when I told her what kind I did and didn't like. I never felt hustled or rushed (Norma even pointed out when certain bras were a good price vs the more expensive ones). Highly recommend Iris and Norma! read more

This is the first time I have ever written a yelp review, but I am so so impressed with the service experience I had today at Iris Lingerie. Iris made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process and confident in what I was purchasing. The bras I purchased are top quality, and the fitting experience is unmatched. The best experience I have ever had bra shopping, I'll definitely be returning!! read more
