My wife was fitted for a bra that is working well for her. I was part of the process because she is not fond of clothes shopping in general, with intimate apparel being a step down the comfort ladder. We are both satisfied with the shopping experience and the product at Ma Cherie Et Moi. Reading reviews is such an interesting thing: both here and on Yelp there are very polarized reviews for this business. I think this has to do with expectations and personality/taste. Heres what you can expect: Bras here are pricier than in a big box store - plan to spend $70-100. This is a boutique-style shop. The bras we saw were designed in European countries and manufactured in various countries. For instance, the one we bought was designed in France and manufactured in Bulgaria. There are absolutely no returns or refunds - this policy is clearly stated on signs both at the register and in the dressing rooms. The staff will provide you with a bra-fitting experience that does not include tape measures. My wife was asked some questions about sizing and about what type of bra she wanted. She explained what size bra she has been wearing. The saleswoman very astutely and professionally took her visual measure and declared that my wife needed a different (smaller) size. This was correct, because my wife has lost a significant amount of weight since she was last fitted. The clerk brought a selection of bras to my wife and asked her to try on the first one. Then the clerk checked the fit of the bra and explained as she did so what it was that she was looking for to ascertain whether the fit was correct or not. She then suggested another bra to try on. She explained how the sizing and fit runs in different brands and styles - she actually brought bras in different sizes depending on the manufacturer. Here again, she knew what she was talking about. There were two saleswomen working the store while we were there. The owner was not present. It was quite busy. The clerks were professional and courteous to each person I heard them speak with, and most definitely with us. They apologized to us a few times for the wait we experienced while they offered good service to other customers. I rate the store with 5 stars for service and about 4 stars for selection and price. My wife has not spent that much on a bra before. While there were high-quality bras of various styles and from several manufacturers, I would subjectively say that the focus is on more practical and down-to-earth garments. The color selection was limited as well as less racy than a certain husband might have liked ;-) .

NO STARS WHATSOEVER! PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE! i came to this place because it was highly recommended for bra fitting. the instant i walked in i could tell the lady was very snide. she acted as if i was too poor to be there and she wanted me out as soon as possible. i came specifically to get sized AND SHE DIDNT EVEN SIZE ME AT ALL!!!!!! all she did was look at me, never even grabbed her tape measurer and gave me bras ALL OF WHICH WERE THE WRONG SIZE!!!!!! this is something that has happened to me multiple times and i am sick and tired of it. she KNEW THAT SHE DID NOT CARRY MY SIZE so SHE SOLD ME THE WRONG TO MAKE A SALE INSTEAD OF TELLING ME SHE DIDNT CARRY MY SIZE. i have a very large size, in panache bras i wear a 36J, which is really hard to find, and she sold me a 38H instead., which arent even remotely similar. the reason that this place has such great reviews i believe is because either a) 36J is such a rare size that no one else as big as me went into that store to have that happen or b) women wear the wrong size bras all the time and dont know it which is why i have since taught myself how to size myself because so many lingerie stores have tried to rip me off. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!!!! if you have very large boobs like me go to nordstrom, (its the only ive found in the area that does this) but theyll tell you your correct size even if they dont have it in stock and they will order it for you. but even if you dont have this problem DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!! PLACES THAT SELL INCORRECT SIZES FOR A SALE SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS!!!!! this is something i find very important because wearing the correct size CAN REDUCE BACK PAIN, WHILE WEARING THE INCORRECT SIZE WILL INCREASE BACK PAIN!!! PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! Not to mention the lady who helped, who i think was the manager, was horrible. a horrible snide nasty woman the whole time i was there.

I have never looked better! I got a few of their bras. They are pricey, but the quality is off the scale. I have worn these bras every day and they still feel like they are barely broken in. The fitting experience was comfortable and encouraging. I am shy and she did such a great job of making me feel confident and beautiful. Very good service and extremely high quality. I was sent there by two friends and took my daughter there.

This business has advertized itself as being able to fit you, I went to the store they had in Windsor once and bought a bra from them. It did not fit, the straps were constantly sliding off my shoulders and when I went back I was told that there wasnt anything they could do about it. I have never gone back, never will, but I still get their lousy advertizing in my mail box. I cant believe they are still in business.

Ma Cherie Et Moi is a great store. They do know how to bra fit and nobody is guessing. You want to shop there when the owner, Kornelia, is present. Not only will you be delighted by her accent, you will immediately feel welcomed and at ease. If it does not look good, she will tell you! The bras are a bit pricier, but last for a long time.

They do not bra fit. No one can guess the size bra you wear. The only way to know is to use a tape measure.
