| - I'm really happy that I don't have a sister, especially a fake bitchy know-it-all sister without any good secrets. My visit here was not at all what I expected. What I hoped for was solid advice and a beautiful selection of stylish bras that fit great, in my hard to find size. I know my size, and it's not that hard to figure out your size - check the internet, lots of resources are available to help you fit yourself. What I was looking for specifically was something that would adjust with me as I go up a little with hormonal changes every month. Something with a little supportive stretch?
So anyway, as I expected, I walked in wearing the right size. Interestingly, fitter never told me my size, I needed to ask to confirm that just as I thought, I was already in the correct size. I showed her how my current bra gives a little spillage on one side for literally 4 days a month, and asked for something that would accommodate that, that I could still wear for the rest of the month. She brought me six bras that all "fit to the larger side" - they did not fit my smaller side at all, and there was no suggestion for what to do about this. They were all molded cup, so they were actually baggy on one side. She then gave me a lecture about how I'm harming my breast tissue if I'm wearing a too small bra. Again, I'm not, I just have some additional fullness on one side for a few days a month. All of these "fit to the larger side" bras, which I would supposedly wear for just a couple days a month, were in the price range of $120-$165.
That price point might be fine if I was in love with the bra and it was a perfect fit - but I didn't even like any of these bras. I didn't like the fit, I didn't think that they offered anything special in terms of lift or fullness or support. They looked worse the bra I walked in with, matronly and frumpy, with detailing would show under most tops. Four of the 6 had big embellished straps, wide with rose appliques and shit - this is a no go for me, I like simple, sleek styles. At one point, when I mentioned that I was worried about catching my ring on frilly lace (subtly trying to ask for a cleaner, more modern look), the salesperson harshly told me I should "always remove all of your jewelry before putting on your bra". Are you kidding me? Ain't no one got time for that. I just didn't need the lecturing attitude - there was a constant undertone that I must be doing something wrong. Putting my bra on wrong, scooping into the cups wrong, washing my bra wrong. Blah blah blah, all this info is online, I already know this, and frankly, it ain't rocket science. I didn't come here for a bra shaming, I came for a bra, Which you didn't have, and didn't even offer anything I wanted to purchase.
There was just a constant general negative vibe. After those 6 bras, I was told that's it, we don't have anything else for you to try. My fitting was less than 20 mins. I was informed multiple times that if I wanted to order another color, or bought more than one bra, or bought basically anything - it would be FINAL SALE. Final Sale was a phrase used more times than I could count. And remember, I hadn't even liked anything yet! I haven't said I want to buy it, but you want to tell me that I'm already stuck with it? You can keep it. As for me, even in my size, I can find a better selection at a department store for less than half the price, none of the attitude, better customer service, and a solid return policy. That's no secret.
