Ladies...any bra fitting stores around?

DH says I need to go have an actual bra fitting and buy some GOOD bras instead of picking up whatever Wal-Mart has in my size. :? I know the Hanes place @ the outlets does it, but, they don't really carry anything in my size. I need a place that offers larger size options; price is important but am willing to pay a little more for quality and fit. Thanks!

 

I have had that done at Macy's.

 

I know, kinda strange coming from a guy, but I pass the place two or three times a week...

I need a fit! I've always bought Bali but the last two weren't sized right...or I've grown. Went to walmart..NEVER bought at walmart before... They have my size! In colors!! I've never had colors before! All the pretty bras fit the girls with no boobs. If you're a DD or larger, they stick you in a granny bra.


LOL.... I'm just say'in.

 

Bra sizing

Belk's in Smithfield will fit you.
Victoria's Secret of course
Major department stores at the mall as well, with the exception of Saks. Ive never been in there, so not sure if they will or not.
The Bali (?) outlet at the Pottery

Hope that helps. A good fitting bra will make a WORLD of difference in how you look and feel. Truly worth the investment, and wash in a lingerie bag, cold water, hang to dry. They will last a lot longer, keep their shape, and you can justify the cost and your clothes will fit better too.

Probably more info then you needed or wanted but I was floored at how much better my clothes "hung" and that I looked thinner when I actually found a bra that fit properly. I've lost a lot of weight and went from a 44DD to a 36 B (Sorry if TMI) but had no clue about the importance of good foundational garments. Just passing along the info.

 

Lane Bryant has lots of pretty bras in larger sizes. They are reasonably priced if you can get them on their buy one get one sales or some other deal. They are well made and have several different materials and styles to boot. Closest one is in Garner at Timber Drive.

 

Where is SS? I'm surprised he hasn't been on to offer his services :jester:

 

He's busy.. Ryder cup started today.

 

I don't mind WHERE the advice comes from; just didn't figure any of you guys would want to get in on this one! :lol:

Thanks for the info.!

 

We have as much stake in the care and feeding of them as y'all do. :lol:

 

Thanks, everyone...hadn't thought about Belk's doing the fittings but, like most places, I doubt they carry large enough sizes. And, most of the time I can't even find them in Lane Bryant/Catherine's, either. Maybe I can just duct-tape them up! :jester:

 

My kung FU is strong in this magnorious topic.

Victoria Secret baby!!! My wife likes getting the little cash cards I get from there and I love the end result!!! INVEST INVEST INVEST


p.s. Do your men a favor and buy the panties with the little draw string in the crack area. He will thank you!


I know this was about Bra's. But I am a BUTT (For you monkey boy) man.

 

Catos has larger undergarments too.

 

I have purchased bras at SOMA at Southpoint mall. They measure and fit you there. The vanishing back bra is really comfortable. They also have a website. I've tried Wacoal and some others at higher end department stores but it's not the price as much as the construction and fit of the bra. Hope this helps. Good luck shopping!

 

I was fortunate enough to be at Kohl's (White Oak) when they had a lady who helped me get "fitted" for the right size brassiere. I do not know if this woman only works certain times or not, but she was working when I needed the help

 

Reading that a woman went from a 40dd to a 36b almost brings a tear to my eye.........

All she does is personal bra fitting. Extensive selection of larger sizes.

Her motto: "Go from Sagging to Bragging!"

 

All of Belk's employees who work in that department are sent to class to learn how to properly fit bras.

 

thats the best place to go.....

 

Then I'm going to Belks! thx PG
