I can honestly say that I have had one of the worst customer experiences of my life with this store and the shop owner Melissa. I ordered a bra for my wedding from Melissa and was told that the minor alterations would be done in plenty of time for my fitting two weeks later. I called the next Tuesday (1.5 wks later) expecting to pick up bra and was told my alterations were next on the list. After calling again on Thursday (10am) I was told Melissa took the bra home with her to finish alterations and should be in shortly. I was assured a call back upon Melissas arrival which I never received and my mother arrived at 12pm to pick up bra before we left town for my fitting in Cary, NC the next morning. She was told to come back at 4pm. I called to see if they could put a rush on it considering the circumstances mentioned (4 hrs, really?!?) and questioned why it wasn’t done before now. To which Melissa replied “Well I’ve also been running my business!!!” and ended the conversation with that statement “If you would let me get off the freakin’ phone I might be able to finish it…” I was left absolutely speechless and seeing as she was my only option for a bra before my fitting the next morning I decided to reply with an “ok…” and speak my peace after she was done. She called me back an hour later and told me the alterations were done and I could pickup the bra. I know how to sew, I own a sewing machine, and I have never sewn such a crooked stitch over a 3 inch space. I could have altered this bra better myself and almost wish I would have. I will say that besides the obviously spiteful crooked stitching the bra fit well, and I guarantee my husband will never notice those tiny stitches. So overall I was happy with the finished product. I want to be truthful beyond a doubt so, if you have no other options then the Bra Shoppe will most likely be able to help you find a solution to any bra needs you may have. However, the customer service, attitude, and frankly the moral caliber of the shop owner is appalling! If you have an option in another town then take it. You will get a bra to suit your needs but if you experience was like mine you will be left frustrated by the way you were treated. I will never shop here again and be warned to walk on tip toes if you plan on visiting this store.

This is my new "Mecca"! I have struggled to find bras that fit my unusual size for a very long time. While I felt I had found some that fit ok, I knew they did not fit as they should ideally. I just figured such a fit was not in the cards for me. I was wrong! I went to the Bra Shoppe for bridal lingerie and ended up with that and more. I was just so amazed at how their selection fit! And I am not one of those women who have never been properly sized, etc. It is just that the selection here fits. And the sales consultants know what they are doing. They dont even need to ask your size most they time! They just know. They show you how to properly get into the bra and they adjust the straps where they should be. They had an excellent selection right there in the store and can order anything they do not have. Also, alterations are free for three months which I think is an awesome deal. I will never buy a bra anywhere else even though Wilmington is a two hour drive for me. It is worth it!

I cant say enough POSITIVE things about both Melissa and The Bra Shoppe! The products and service are SUPERLATIVE. They have a fantastic selection in all sizes and it is incredibly refreshing to be able to find bras in MY size, something I havent been able to do in department stores and other undergarment specialty shops. Melissa takes the time to make sure you are properly sized and provides a true, custom fit. Best of all you dont have to dig through racks or re-hang a tangle of bras! Prepare to luxuriate in the sheer awesomeness of having bras found and returned for you -- this is FIRST CLASS service, friends. Although I am no longer in Wilmington I still drive 2.5 hours to buy my bras. I am a customer for life!

I have a smaller cup size and I despise padded bras. I love the Bra Shoppe. They carry B.Temptd by Wacol, a line of extremely hot bra and panty sets. Theyre comfortable enough for everyday wear, and you can get a set for about $60 from here, which is not bad for a very well made, beautiful bra and panty set. In my experience, the underwire doesnt cut into you like a Victorias Secret bra. They will also custom fit you, so if you arent wearing the right size, you will be after a visit to the Bra Shoppe.

I used to shop here because they have a fairly good selection and they do fittings. However, I soon learned that the owner Melissas mother was the only person I could stand to deal with, and she only visits (from her shop in California) occasionally. Last time I was in there, Melissa ignored me and helped not only the customer in the waiting room but also a customer who came in to see her after I had been waiting for at least 15 minutes! I walked out. And I wont go back.

The fitting and bra selection were amazing. Its very difficult for me to find a bra that fits comfortably, and with the alterations it fit all my needs; however, the owner was extremely rude to my husband and was very crass which I normally wouldnt mind if she hadnt treated my husband so poorly.

Wonderful customer service. They took measurements, helped me choose the right bras and then made alterations to get the perfect fit. Best bra experience Ive ever had.
