She found my perfect sizes and brought everything straight to the dressing room. The quality of the items are beautiful, delicate, as well as cozy. I would recommend calling to schedule an appointment ahead of time but they allow walk ins.

I went to the store about six years ago at their prior location. It was a terrible experience…read morebecause the person who was assisting me could not find bras that fit me and tried to convince me that they are supposed to be uncomfortable.. I told her that I could not wear what I was trying on because it was painful and she said that I would just have to deal with it. A couple of weeks ago I was walking by the store at its new location and I thought perhaps it would be a different situation with different people inside. Because I am a larger size they could not find any bras that fit me that were Wireless. I do not wear underwire bras to protect my health. The sales person behind the counter who helped me was very kind and dug around in the back to bring me things to try on. At one point, I was wearing a bra that she thought would fit me based on the size that I told her I was, and I showed her how I was coming out all over the place and told her I needed a larger size. She excused herself and went and got someone else. And I am pretty sure this is the Owner or Manager and most likely the same cruel person I encountered years before. This person started to argue with me about how I could not have another size. And I said I needed a larger size and the first sales person looked at the other one asking permission if she can get me a larger size and then that one, the manager or whatever again tries to talk me out of it. It was as if I needed permission to go up to a larger size. This store is useless if you are in the larger size realm. I will never go back again and I look forward to finding a place where I can get an actual fitting like I did in New York years ago from a French bra shop, which was spot on and perfect the first time with many options.

Shaw is amazing!! I was referred to her store and told that I had to make an appointment with her…read more I'm so glad that I decided to listen because I finally have bras that fit. They have a really great selection and for things not in stock they said they would contact me when it got in. Scheduling an appointment is so worth it because you get your appointment fee deducted from your total purchase. It's clear that Shaw is really good and what she does and I would definitely refer anyone and everyone to her!

This is a great store! As someone who couldn't possibly shop for bras in most big box stores or any…read moredepartment store, I basically have no choice but to shop at small boutiques like this. I was very happy shopping there and absolutely plan to return. Prices are very fair for the quality and 100% in line with (or better than) other stores of this kind. Staff was super friendly and I felt very comfortable -- not always a given when you're standing in your underwear, talking to a stranger! Expect Lace has sizes that run up to 42J in store, but can easily order larger sizes as needed. Given the number of variables with bras (style + band + cup + color), it's hard for any store to keep every single option stocked, but Expect Lace does an excellent job of making sure they have enough to make things work. And if, say, you find the right bra but in the wrong color? They can order and ship the one you want to your house -- FOR FREE! Music to my ears. In addition, once you shop there, they keep a record of what you bought. So in my case, my file shows that I bought a certain bra in a specific size, but also notes what other stuff was working for me. I love this because it means I can just contact them and say, "I want that same thing but in purple," and they can make it happen. One thing to note (and the reason I knocked them down a star): It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find out what time this store is open. I checked Yelp, Google, and Instagram and they all gave me a different story. I called the number and no one answered, but the voicemail said to make an appointment, which I did. (And it's not just me -- another customer came in and had the same question while I was being helped.) Apparently they've just got a lot of stuff going on right now and limited staff so sometimes the hours need to flex, but knowing for sure when they were open would've gotten me there a lot sooner and being able to drop in during known open hours would've been easier for me than scheduling an appointment. ps. Also parking is a pain but that's just Manayunk!

To be treated so respectfully and allow me to try on a few pairs to see what I liked was great. She asked if my current pair had nipples and I said yes and preferred that. She asked my size and I said I wore a B cup and a C cup just felt too big and too perfect and I liked a B cup and felt more natural. She told me she really liked a certain brand and they were more natural and gave me a B and a C and told me to just try it. I tried each on and showed her and when I had the C cup on she said they honestly looked nice on me and weren't too big at all. I really liked them and told her I wanted the C cup.

It was still very uncomfortable and I would take the bra off within seconds of walking in the front door. Then I found AnaOno on IG & her entire line is for ladies like me! I ordered the sports bra with mesh back, makemerry plunge & Alejandra wirefree. They are all so comfortable to wear with my tissue expanders, all day. They were clearly made with reconstructed ladies in mind, no pressure in the wrong area, or along incisions and the Alejandra is so sexy & lacy! How am I just realizing this wonderful company is local to me? Thank you AnaOno for making survivors feel beautiful and have one less barrier to normalcy.

What looked good and what was a waste. This is my new place to purchase my undergarments. And I also received an email recently stating that they also have online store also. This place is clean, and full of undergarments as it should. I will return again and again. Good bye to my Victoria Secret undergarments. Te quality will not disappoint. I will be honest the undergarments are pricey but for me worth every penny.

For the love of all the bargains in the world, how did I not hear of this place before?…read more This is a nondescript storefront on Passyunk Ave - 1421 Passyunk to be exact. How nondescript? Well, there's no sign. The metal shutters were down over the windows. Those who are not 'in on the secret' would have no idea it's there. But the door was OPEN and was that ever a good thing. They carry a large selection of women's clothes, casual to dressy, velour to furs (yes, real fur as well as faux), sizes S to 3X, with some jewelry and handbags tossed in for good measure. Many, many name brands, all NWT - I picked up some Calvin Klein, Jones New York, and Ann Taylor pieces - all marked on the original tags north of $100, the most I spent on any one piece was $29. I know what you're thinking...at prices like these, they've got to be hot, right? Nope. It's a legitimate business, been there for years according to my South Philly Aunt. They even take credit cards. This shops owners deal in remainder lots of designer clothing. These are the items not sold by major stores during their season run, consolidated and sold in groups at very low prices. As they're remainders, the stock changes daily, so if you see something, buy it. It does not go on sale, this IS the sale. It is by no means fancy - we're talking racks of clothes, little heat, and a try-on room in the back that reminds me of my days shopping at Lohemann's. It is so so so worth the no-frills. Oh, shoot. I just let the secret out, didn't i?

I couldn't believe it! I was in retail heaven! Imagine shopping at Nordstrom's or Saks Fifth Ave but getting much better prices. We ventured downstairs to just browse around and I was amazed at the quality of the strollers, play and packs and high chairs. You can tell the owner takes pride in this shop. I understand why they are winning awards. They have quality product and exceptional service. If we are ever back in the area, we are definitely coming by again. Shopping local is so much fun!

My purpose on this day was to find a replacement for the black tank Tom loves to wear; it's been worn so much, the one side is literally hanging on by threads. Since I found out it came from Old Navy, I decided to surprise him with a new one when I go back to Reading to see him tomorrow. I found that the replacement tank I sought was a mere $5, and the employee was more than happy to point out where they were and helped me find the size I was looking for. They turned out not to have it, so I bought the next size up since the medium wasn't much bigger than the small. They do get a star off for register lines though. They had two registers open but the lines had more than 8 people with full bags in each. The cashier that rung me out did apologize for the wait though. So if cheap, no frills, and functional is your thing, definitely check out Old Navy!
