| - Normally when I tell a salesperson my size (large cup, small band), she giggles nervously and suggests some store down the street... First time I saw a Change store, I walked in, proffered my size, and waited for the nervous titter.
Instead, I got "Sure!" and shown the most amazing collection of nice looking samples in real-woman sizes. I was there at the end of a month-long sale so they had a limited number in my size. "Only" 11.
Most larger bras resemble those leather slings on the front of cars - "car bras." Change's stuff is all nice-looking (though I'd stay away from the embroidered, the patterns show through thinner shirts).
Today I brought a family friend, a large-chested teen who never had a good bra, in. I introduced her with "I've been telling this lady about this new fad, where bras actually fit..."
They whisked her into a room, did a proper fit, showed her how to try them on PROPERLY (no one but Change -ever- does that), and brought her bra after bra. She narrowed it down to two, but could have picked up half a dozen and still left a good few behind.
She then went home and Facebook'ed about the new experience of having a bra that FIT.
So.
- WIDE range of sizes, from the very large to the very small, including most of the odd sizes few companies bother with.
- Well-fitting
- Both lined and unlined bras.
- A good selection of colours and patterns, as well as standard black, white & nude (covering most people's tastes).
- A frequent buyer club that means all your purchases are at least 10 per cent off.
- Frequent sales, from buy one, get one half off to 50-70 per cent off everything in the store. Their regular prices are a little higher than some, but in three years, I've never paid full-price for anything there.
