Store That Will Help with Bra Sizings

There is a store right on the corner of sibley in riverview in the little shopping center that does bra fitting and they are really nice there. It is right by the pizza place and cigarette shop in the little strip mall there. I cannot think of the name of it right now, I will ask my sister because she lives over there. Then I will get back with you on it.

Sunny J's in downtown Plymouth will personally size you. I was referred there and found it to be more comfortable that I had expected.

Harp's in Birmingham does a fabulous job...unfortunately, you'll pay up the wazoo! Sometimes an expensive (!!!!) bra is worth it for the comfort, though. They are also great quality and the ladies there really know what they're doing. Good luck!

I highly recommend Harps Lingerie in downtown Birmingham, or Bra World in Troy (right across from Oakland Mall, on John R., next to TJ Max). They both do a fabulous job of fitting - especially if you are larger busted. I've found that Bra World is typically less expensive - and they keep your purchase information on file, so you know what to get (or at least where to start) the next time you need new bras!

I haven't been there myself...only because I just haven't had the time or money. BUT - I have a friend that SWEARS by them. She's an unusual size - 32DD or something like that - and she always looks neat in her shirts and sweaters. She says the women in there can look at you and size you and offer suggestions of the kind of bra you need. They'll measure you, of course too. :)

Harp's in Birmingham is the best, especially if you need fitting. (http://www.harpslingerie.net/about.htm)

I've also had very good service at Comfortably Yours in St. Clair Shores (9 Mile and Greater Mack).

bra world on john r and 14 mile in troy.

There is a store in Royal Oak that I have heard is wonderful: Bra~vo Intimates 517 S Washington Ave ###-###-####

There is nothing like a perfect fitting bra.

I stopped at a Bali outlet and loved it. I got 3 bra's for $50!

Victorias secret has NEVER been able to fit me -
Nordstroms is who I STRONGLY recommend

I look perfect and let me tell you it is an ILLUSION!!

Harp's in Birmingham on Old Woodward is the only place to go. Every bridal shop recommends them. I have bought every bra from them in the last few years and they are high quality, a little pricey but fit and look fabulous. You can go to just get sized. The ladies can tell you a size by just looking at you but they will certainly still measure to check.

Visit Harp's Lingerie in Birmingham. They have mature saleswomen who go into the fitting room with you, do very hands on measurements and then bring you lots of options. They even help you into them and adjust the straps for a correct fit. I was surprised to find that my bra size varied widely depending on the maker of the bra. It's a lovely experience to have such hands-on assistance. Just be prepared to pay a little more than you would for a VS one-size-fits-all bra.

Here's a new one for you.. Essential Bodyware http://www.essentialbodywear.com/ They have home parties. They are a new company and design their own bras & were featured on Opera. Once a year (June or July) for 2 days, they open their warehouse here in Mich. You can find a consultant for your area online. Just like Tupperware, you can have a party in your home and get fitted. My sister and I went to the warehouse so we would have all sizes available to try on.

I'd like to bring up a topic that is a little off the point. Why would anyone shop at Victoria Secret? Their commercials tend to be a little on the pornographic side of things. Would you want your daughters strutting around like those models with Angel Wings? I wouldn't call for a boycott of the stores, but I wouldn't ever think of shopping at a store that would give such an unrealistic vision of women as sex objects! Just a thought. Let's band together as Mother's to change the world, one thing a a time. Buy Dove roducts and support something a little more realistic (they are good products, too.)

Go to Harp's in birmingham for sizing. There stuff is expensive so buy one and then head to Kohl's for great sales. I am quite "large" and have found a Bali with great support that was shown on Oprah!

I have had the same problem in the past. I would suggest Bra World in Troy, MI, on John R Road near 14 Mile. The sales people there are a little older, and seem to actually be concerned with your fittings. They have all different types of bras, including sports, and the really pretty ones. They also have girdles, underwear, and pantyhose. Hope this helps.

I got my sizing done at Lane Bryant. L. S.

There is a store in downtown Birmingham named "Harps". They are wonderful. I went to them when I was pregnant & after I had the baby. The fit me for a nursing bra, and then got me into the right bra after I was done nursing. I have gone to them for about 5yrs now. I believe there on Old Woodward. Good Luck!

There is a store called Bra World at 354 John R. road, less than a block from Oakland Mall in Troy. A friend advised me to go there to get properly fitted, and I found out that I'd been buying the wrong bra size for over a decade! Since then I've bought the right bra size and couldn't be happier! I feel better, my back doesn't hurt, and the *girls* look great! The staff was knowledgeable and courteous, the dressing rooms are discreet and the bras are very reasonably priced. I felt very comfortable going there and plan to go again. I hope this helps you.

E-Dees Bra Salon in Allen Park on Allen Road. They specialize in hard to find sizes and even custom make bras, so they definately know what they are doing. I had a hard time finding a long waisted bra for my wedding dress in my size (38 D) and they had it right in stock. I think they go up to H, I dont really remember. It's been years since I've been there.

Good luck!

Bra World at 14 and John R was great for me. Also you can go to Comfortably Yours on Greater Mack just south of 9 Mile. Both did a great job for me. Comfortably Yours specializes in mastectomy bras and such but has a regular line of bras in there as well.

Harp's in downtown Birmingham is the number one place in my book.

Harp's Lingerie in downtown Birmingham does a really nice job. They're old school, but I think that works out better. The bras may be different than Victoria's secret, but they will size you much better and give you better options. Good Luck!

sunny j's in downtown plymouth.

B.,
Try Sunny-J's in Plymouth, and I think they have another new location in Howel. I have sent tons of people there. They are great!

Hi B.,

Bra~voin Royal Oak by far exceeds anywhere in the Metro Detroit area for fittings and best bra selection. You will be thrilled with their expertise and quality.

Good Luck!

Great Lakes Crossing has a store, they sell hanes, just my size and other thing.. I wanna say its a Bali store, they have a great gal that does measurements.
exit 83 off 75n coming from detroit..

Good luck

Harps is great and so is Nordstrom. They're both probably going to be more expensive than Victoria's Secret would be, but for me at least, it's worth it!

Hi B.,

I've heard a lot of good things about Sunny J's in Plymouth. Good luck!

Hi B.,
I've never posted on this site before. My name is M.. I'm the mother of almost 3 year old triplets.

Anyways, there is a wonderful, professional store in downtown Plymouth called Sunny J's. If your having trouble finding a bra, that's where I would go.

Hope this helps.

This store has very professional people doing the fittings. Their bras aren't cheap, what I have done is each time I thought my size changed I went in had them fit me and bought one bra. Then after knowing the right size I went somewhere else to buy more. I have always been happy with the fit, they will also advise you on what type of cup is best for you. Good Luck.

If you don't mind coming to the east side, there is a store called Comfortably Yours, on Mack Avenue, just south of Nine Mile Rd. in St. Clair Shores.

They are professional, deal with all kinds of hard to fit issues, will special order if it's not in the store, etc. I know a woman who comes from Pennsylvania to shop there.

hello B.! You have to go to a REAL lingerie store to get properly fitted. Nothing against Victoria but you're right, it's hard to find someone experienced enough to properly measure you. I went to Macy's and was properly measured and tried on several bras that were the right size. It's amazing how much of a difference it can make! My daughter shifted me into a "D" cup and I was still wearing a "C"cup! I would strongly suggest that you go there or to BRA World located across from Oakland Mall. Bras is all they do! Hope I was able to help:-)

i'm not sure if they will carry your size or not, but Lane Bryant is wonderful. I was having the same problem and there balconest bra is great. you should try there.

The absolute BEST store in Metro Detroit for bra fitting is HARPS in Birmingham, on Woodward, downtown, south of Maple. I have taken others there and am amazed at the difference. I also find that Victoria Secret bras, SOMA, and other chain brands don't fit well. Another place to try, believe it or not, is JCPenney. It totally depends on the salespeson, but the Ambrielle line has a few styles that fit well, and are less expensive when they are on sale. Definitely try HARPS though.

Try going to upper scale stores like Macy's, Parisian, Von Maur, etc. They have trained sales people to help you.

Hands down Macy's. Those women seem to have been very well trained in fitting and helping you select what bra is best for you. I went there after I lost 80lbs and can you only imagine the help I needed!!!!! Hahaha I also went there after I was done breastfeeding my daughter.

Harps Lingerie in downtown Birmingham does fittings and should be able to help you.

Hi B.,
Harp's in Birmingham does a nice job measuring. I went there for my wedding stuff and my nursing bras. They are a little more expensive, but with bras I think that you get what you pay for and a good bra will usually last longer than a cheap one. The info is ###-###-####
