Source of hard-to-find brands; helpful customer service

by kimosmamasan

I've had decent customer service at A Fitting Place, not like the other reviewer. If you don't know how a bra is supposed to fit (most women don't how to buy the right sized bra), then it's worth it to visit once. They don't have a lot of sales where the bras are discounted like the department stores (or discount dept stores like Kohls), however, you'll find brands here you can't find elsewhere. Plus they're likely to have something in your size.

Their selection of swimwear is unbelievable. Having a hard time finding a good fitting suit? While you'll not get a discount price at A Fitting Place, you'll have a great selection and you can find suits in sizes that other stores frankly don't carry. This is especially important in the larger sizes and they carry them! You don't have to be a tooth pick to shop here either. It might be more expensive up front, but how much does it cost you to order a suit through the mail or on-line and have to return it?

They carry mastectomy bras and wigs for those going through chemotherapy or those who like wigs. Their shop is bigger than it used to be. Service does vary from time to time. Overall, their staff is sort of friendly. Some more than others.

I'm really picky about how my undergarments fit so even if the sales person says "wow, that fits" doesn't mean I'm going to buy it since it might not feel right or soemthing about it bothers me. One thing that is nice: if your hubby or significant other likes to buy you lingerie or undergarments, they keep a card that has what you've purchased and in what size, and they can help your loved one buy gifts for you that are likely to fit. By looking at the card and the brand/style, the more experienced staff can make recommendations on similar fitting garments.

I go here when I want something not available elsewhere. They offer quality products at department store prices--no worse than you'd do at Dillard's. Plus their selection is pretty good.

• Pros: Great selection on swimwear, wigs, lingerie in a very wide range of sizes; availability of products not found elsewhere
• Cons: Department store pricing

decent stuff, HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!

by catnat

Had issues with bras bought there within 2 weeks, went to take them back, then the woman refused saying they had been in a washer, LIKE she had lived with us and saw it. They werent, she didnt want to be responsible for a bad product AND the fact they found out that the lady there before had measured me wrong.. refused to exchange the bra OR give credit. BEWARE. I had been a customer since 2002.. and THAT alone didnt matter.. GHeeshe.. NO Thanks.. BEWARE the arent helpful, BUT presumibly phsycics!!!!

• Pros: wide selection
• Cons: horrible help and customer service.. and bad products!
