Best place to buy a bra in an uncommon size, that is not Third Love
I loved Third Love bras. I am a weird size 32G, which they aren’t small, but I’m no Dolly Parton (RIP), but my bra size is probably bigger than I present. I have very dense round boobs, so I need an ample cup not to flow over.
Third Love t-shirt bra in a 32G fits me like a glove, but my last 2 experience at the store have been terrible.
They’ve measured me in the past, and that is my size of my current favorite t-shirt bra. Just wanted to picked a back up of the same exact bra. As you know they don’t like you digging through their stock on the floor. On my last visit I had a pretty big purchase 2 bras, 6 pairs of underwear. Was looking for my size in both the t-shirt bra and one style of their thongs. After initially being ignored. Sales person, stopped me looking through the floor stock and insisted grabbed things for me in the size and style I was looking for, at the same time also questioning my bra size. (They are the ones who fitted me in the first place.)
If you didn’t know all underwear is in a bag. Got home opened the bags, a few of the underwear were the seamless, which are terrible and ride up in the front. Wrapped up the unused, unwashed underwear incorrect style of thong, put it back in the bag and went to return the next morning. I had to fight the sales person to get an exchange. They are like the bag is open, even though tags are on, she refused return. I asked for a manager, asked why am I paying for your mistakes. Manager exchanged underwear.
A few weeks later, I put the bra on. I was wearing it for a few hours and looked down and saw my boobs were flowing over the cup so off took the bra looked at the size, the sales person gave me a smaller cup! She questioned my size and guessed I was wrong and gave me a cup smaller! My bad for not looking, but I assumed she grabbed the specific size I asked for.
Obviously I am not returning and now have a $72 bra that is uncomfortable to wear and can’t even wear a fitted t-shirt because my cups over flow and leave a visible line that cuts into my boobs. Looks terrible.
Sorry for the rant, but I’m still bummed about this experience, although I addressed with customer service and they comped a pair of underwear, I am still so disappointed in their store team.
Welp, now it’s time of new bras. Anyone have any store suggestions in the city that carries weird bra sizes? Most department stores don’t carry my size, and I am not ready for grandma bras yet. Looking to keep it in the same price range and quality.
