Allure Intimate Apparel

I was hoping to have a good experience here, but I really didn’t. They didn’t have a large range of sizes or styles, and the store felt a bit… old. Like older women would be shopping there. Not that that’s a bad thing, just not what I was expecting from their website (which I am impressed with).
Also, I think that Allure could do better with hiring a bunch of different looking sales associates.
Edit: The owner also seems to be a little too concerned with insulting me than trying to make me see the positive of her business. As a customer who was disappointed, I don’t think that the appropriate response was to tell me that I «had a little too much to drink.» I am now very glad that I didn’t give Allure my business.

I’d heard about how important it is to have a professional bra fitting at least once in a woman’s life, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I went online to gather some options and came upon Allure’s website. I think they also advertise on MyTalk 107.1, so that probably subconsciously helped.
I was pleased to find that they had a location in St. Paul, so I went over there after work on a weekday. [One tiny downside was that the parking lot adjacent to the retail shops is 15 minute only. So I parked up the street. Minor complaint.] There were not any customers in the store at the time I walked in, but the woman behind the counter immediately greeted me and asked if there was anything I needed.
I told her I had heard about bra fittings and that I would like to have one so I could figure out my size. She said that would be no problem, and asked me a few question (am I okay with underwire, do I have a color preference, is this for day-​to-​day wear? etc) as she showed me to a dressing room. I took off my coat and sweater off, then she came in, took a few measurements and said she’d be right back.
She came back with three of really nice looking bras. She asked if I would like help trying them on, and I said yes (hey, when’s the next time someone’s gunna help me in a dressing room? Not likely soon). So I turned with my back facing her and she handed me a bra over my shoulder. I slid the straps up my arms and she fastened the back and adjusted the straps. Then I looked in the mirror and assessed. Lather, rinse, repeat. One of the three fit basically perfectly, so she left that one in the room and went back out to grab three more. Tried those on and then ultimately decided to buy the 1^st one that fit so well.
She took it up to the counter for me while I got dressed, then I went to the register and paid for it. It was an expensive bra ($ 85 if I recall correctly), but it may have been the highest quality, well-​fitting bra I’ve ever bought. The whole fitting took maybe 15 minutes tops, and the whole thing was just a great experience.
Overall, I am so glad I went here to try this whole bra fitting thing out. Great customer service, great products.

yay! these ladies are awesome. the stuff is spendy, but totally worth it. they gave me a fitting, which i very much needed, and i tried on bras from very expensive to totally reasonable. i got a great set, which i totally love! go team allure!

Mama knows best.
This is the store where my mom buys all her bras and lingerie, and after a trip here with her this weekend it is now where I will be buying all those lovely items as well.
The service was excellent. I was in and out in no time, and I walked out with something that fits perfectly. I mean perfectly. For a pregnant lady with a thin frame and tig ol’ bitties this is no small feat!
The prices are a little higher than Victoria’s Secret, but well worth it for the great service and quality. Let the staff help you out, and you are sure to find something you love.
P. S. Be warned– the photo on their website is horrible! Granny panties and tennies? No thank you! I promise I didn’t see anything even close to that in the store!
