Bras Galore

This place is amazing! I was greeted at the door by Heather. They had such a wide variety for my size. She respected my privacy and was very sweet. I would recommend to any girl out there that has a size that is not in many stores.

This is probably the only place I will ever shop for a bra again!
First, I greatly appreciated the excellent customer service. I usually don’t want a sales associate to hover when I’m shopping, but bras are complicated garments and it’s easy to go wrong. If you need guidance from a true pro, this is the place. Heather talked to me about what I was looking for, measured me, and picked out numerous options for me to try. Her expert advice was spot on.
Second, the selection is huge! I went here because I heard their radio ad offering band sizes from 28 to 56, cups AA to N. Since I never find a bra that fits well at any department store or chain, I thought that I’d see what they have to offer. It turns out that my real size is a bit weird. This is the only store I know of that has a lot of options in weird sizes.
Recommended!

Great shop! And so important to support local businesses. I highly recommend for anyone, but especially for pregnant and nursing moms.

This store is the best! A much needed addition to the neighborhood. I was in desperate need of new bras for some time but with my busy work schedule and 2 small kids its hard to take the time out to go bra shopping. Especially when in most places there is no one to help you find what you want. This place was exactly what I needed! I walked in, Heather got me sized and we talked about what I like and don’t like about bra’s and she went and pulled about 12 for me to try out. I found 4 bra’s that I absolutely loved! Perfect fit and in my price range! They made it so easy and such a pleasant experience. I will for sure be back!

This is a wonderful store, and I will most certainly be back! I enjoyed the «personal shopper”-style approach. Heather was super friendly and did a great job of measuring me and bringing a huge number of bras in my size to try. She immediately let me go through them to eliminate the ones that weren’t quite the right style, and then let me take my time trying on and re-​trying on all the ones that looked like they might work. She was extremely patient and never pushy, which I really appreciated. I ended up with a petite bra that is difficult to find in other stores. Overall, they had a great selection of bras for petite and small-​chested women.
My only complaint is the return policy. They don’t allow refunds; instead, you can return unworn items with tags still on within 30 days for an exchange or store credit. Since they clearly state that the item needs to be re-​sellable, their exchange/​store credit policy just seems like a way to trap your money in the store once you’ve bought something. I understand that this is a new business that’s doing everything it can to get off the ground (and on a stretch of Lincoln that tends to be cursed for new businesses), so I hope they’ll start allowing refunds in the original form of payment once they’re on their feet.
(Okay– one other very minor complaint: their bags are really tacky. They’re bright purple and made out of a flimsy plastic. Before I knew what this store was, I saw someone with one of their bags on the bus and assumed it was some discount lingerie shop. Hopefully they’ll get something a little more classy or discreet once they’re more established.)

I’ve needed some new bras for quite a while, and decided to check this place out. When I drove past a few days ago I was intrigued, but wondered if the store would mainly be for maternity bras and women with huge boobs who need a special store. I, on the other hand, have the small and dainty variety that you would think would be easy to shop for (but somehow aren’t).
When I walked in, the sales associates told me how the store works. Basically, you fill out a questionnaire and then one of the associates sizes you and helps you shop. That sounded too in-​depth to me– why not just look around instead? They said that was fine too. I made my way over to the area with the size I normally wear, and was happy to see the huge selection (not typical, of my size).
I soon became overwhelmed, however, because the selection was so immense. I realized it might make sense to backtrack and do things the way the sales associates described. So I filled out the questionnaire. I was impressed by the questions. Why yes, I do have a problem with bra straps falling down! The questions seemed to hone in on problems I didn’t know I had. I started to see actually why I needed these sales associates and their expertise– all these issues over the years with finding bras I like is what has had me wearing the same bras for years on end. In fact, what few bras I have were ordered online once I finally felt I had honed in on brands and sizes that work for me.
The associate took me to one of the changing rooms and sized me. Interestingly, we found that I am currently between sizes. She told me confidently that based on what I was looking for, (semi padded, underwire but not poky, colorful) that she could bring me some in one size in brands that run small, and some in the other size for brands that ran large.
I loved all the bras she came back with! I ended up buying two, due to budgetary considerations, but easily could have bought all of them. Needless to say, I have NEVER had the experience of finding multiple bras that fit me, are comfortable, and cute too! I thought the associate was really professional. Very informative about the products, but not overly chatty otherwise. She even informed me at one point that the bra she liked the most for me has the best silhouette for a tall, thin person such as my self, that wouldn’t cause my breasts to look «overly spherical.» Again, I hadn’t articulated this as a concern, even in my brain, but she had somehow picked up on an important consideration.
I can’t wait to go back to bras galore! In fact, I’m informing my out of town friends so that when they come here to visit, they can buy their bras here.

What a wonderful store and staff! I just moved to the area not to long ago. In my previous location I had gotten into the habit of visiting specialty bra stores so that I can get the correct fit. I tried another one a month back and was not impressed. Then I found BRA GALORE! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the staff and asked what was I looking for. The store was large, well lit, clean and organized. The young lady who helped me, Heather went above and beyond to make sure I found what I needed. The prices are exactly what you would expect for a specialty store that provides fitting, not surprises there!
This will definitely be my spot for future purchases!

I was so disappointed! I came looking for help picking out a good nursing bra. The woman I worked with was completely unhelpful. When I tried bras on and asked her what she thought about the fit, all she could offer was: «how does it feel?» I know the feel is important but part of why these stores exist is because many woman (myself included) need an expert to help find the best fit. Save yourself the time and go to Nordstrom where the women are trained and can actually offer some knowledge on the subject.

The woman who helped me was super friendly, comfortable, and didn’t make it awkward even though I’m awkward. The only reason it’s not full 5 stars is that bras are pricey.

Great spot in the area with a huge bra selection! My bra size has increased twice so far in my pregnancy and I’ve had success here finding affordable, comfortable bras here. The sales ladies are super friendly and helped save me a ton of time.
This is a great spot for a larger chested women or if you are looking for some specialty products like nursing/​maternity bras.

Just discovered this lovely shop in Lincoln Park. Excellent customer service and personal care! Shout out to Kiana, expert! Actually all of the lovely ladies at Bras Galore! Check it out!

I love this place very much. I recently went through a very difficult breast reduction and walked in here knowing absolutely nothing about my correct size, styles I liked, or even a clue about how a bra should properly fit. Heather was incredibly patient with me and started at square one. She even handled the very demanding friend I brought with me with grace, calm, and professionalism.
Everything they stock is extremely high quality and well made. If you find their selection limited, I promise you it’s because they’ve weeded out all the inferior stuff out there. I recently went in again for sports bras, and the ones they sold me have seriously changed my life. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Not a positive experience. I went to find a special bra with lift but not cleavage and she brought cleavage and was ‘fitted’ in band sizes 3 up and cups 3 up. And they did not fit right! the woman waiting on me seemed disinterested and disgusted by my size. Unless you are an extra small as she boasted that she is, stay away… or be prepared for a brutal blow to your psyche. I went to Bloomies and purchased a perfect fitting bra for my special dress in my correct size with help from a knowledgeable and respectful associate.

What a wonderful resource! It cracks me up that even though I’m considered a pretty average size bra, I have the hardest time finding my size anywhere that’s actually comfortable! When you visit the shop, they ask you to fill out some basic information about yourself and your needs, then they work with you and bring you every type of bra that could possibly work for you in every size (sometimes they go up or down depending on the brand) and color you could want.
It’s definitely the place to go if you hate having to
a) search for your size,
b) hate finding out that even when it is your size, it’s not comfortable and there’s some part that irritates you, and
c) have ever wanted a little bit if help trying to figure out what size would ACTUALLY be most comfortable.
As someone who worked at Victoria’s Secret another lifetime ago, and thought I knew everything I needed to about bra sizing, I was completely wrong and was so happy when they not only properly sized me but also found me pieces that made every day of bra wearing (so basically every day of my life) that much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Did I mention the part about the unbelievable nursing bra section and nursing tanks? I just entered that world and am so grateful I can find them here!
Oh thank heaven for Bras Galore!

I was very happy to find this place and had a great experience. They measure you the right way (unlike Victoria’s Secret) and fit you in your correct bra size. I was fitted by Heather and she was very helpful and listened to what I was looking for.

Not a good experience, staff or product. After you’re measured they bring the items to you. You cannot look through the racks and pick what you want. There’s no way of knowing if they are bringing you the best style or the most expensive one. The return policy is ridiculous. In addition to the receipt they want the product tags. According to the manager they need the tags so they can «resell» the item. Buyer beware. That new bra could be someone else’s reject.

Amazing customer service experience. I’ve always struggled to find the perfect fit with undergarments — especially after the birth of my son last year. Heather was incredibly helpful and found just the right fit for me, along with many different options to choose from, which isn’t often the case for my sizing. All the ladies in the store were lovely and friendly — and made the whole experience much easier and pleasant than this type of shopping normally is for me. I will be back.

I had been looking for a strapless bra for ages and I was lucky I came upon Bras Galore. My fitter was amazing (I think her name was Kiana). She was super friendly, accommodating, and had a great sense of humor. Boobs can be a funny thing and it was great to have her laughing with me throughout the endeavor. I’m not modest and don’t mind changing in front of strangers, but if you are they are very aware and accommodating. I found a great bra and was terrified as I walked up to the register what the price would be; I was thoroughly surprised at how affordable the bra was. I will definitely be going back for another bra. Bonus, they carry bathing suits; supportive ones.

A great addition to the neighborhood, everyone at Bras Galore was incredibly helpful and very skilled at showing me just the right bras. I’m normally not easy to fit but ended up loving two of the five they brought me to try on, which is the polar opposite of the 20+ bras I usually try on elsewhere to MAYBE find one that fits. Their bras are of the highest quality, their prices are competitive. Kathy and her crew at Bras Galore are HIGHLY recommended!
