I <3 Linda!

by hsk7811

With a very small rib cage and above-avg chest, I had been mis-sized for YEARS by victoria's secret, saks, pretty much all the major dept stores. this mis-sizing led me to buy useless bras that never fit perfectly and wasting thousands of $$$$$$. then linda helps me and everything is perfect! No lumps shown, no re-adjusting necessary...truly amazing! AND she doesn't try to push u to anything except what you're comfortable with or what you want in a bra!

• Pros: perfect help!

Linda's Bra Salon

by Jamie from CT

Linda The Bra Lady

10/22/09 My friends and I took a trip from CT to NYC to get fitted at Linda’s. I heard about her store through a friend here in CT. We scheduled appointments for 10:30 a.m. Linette helped me. She was very professional and knowledgeable. I had realized (as everyone says) I had been wearing the wrong bra size! Linette was very helpful in finding me bras that would actually fit me and feel good. I ended up getting 3 bras, very different but all doing “their job”. I have never felt better! I don’t have to “adjust” EVER! The “Girls” stay where they are meant to be and look great with clothes! What a difference it made! I have an odd size too, I have a small frame and larger bust so Linette had her work cut out for her and she did great. It was such a wonderful experience! It is nice they keep a file of what you buy so you can order more easily and have them shipped, although I’d enjoy taking another trip to NYC for this! Thank Linette!

Sincerely,

Jamie from CT!

• Pros: Great Service! Great Bras!
• Cons: Small store

Wow! What a terrific experience

by missy_e

I needed new bras and thought I would give Linda's a try. I worked with Terese today and honestly had one of my best shopping experiences! Terese was not only very knowledgeable (yup, I've been wearing the wrong bra size) but upbeat and fun. The attention you receive from all the staff is complete- The quality of my new bras is excellent. Thanks for all you help: you've made a new customer.

• Pros: Personalized knowledgeable service and it was fun!
• Cons: None

Fantastic

by Hudson Valley Grace

I was curious about the whole bra-fitting experience, and I was not disappointed. It's true -- most women are not wearing the right size. Turns out I'm not a 42D, I'm a 38DD. What a difference that makes in my bras and my comfort and feeling feminine. The staff were unbelievably helpful. I went with a friend who had a size re-adjustment as well and is really happy. Thank you! I will be back.

• Pros: completely changes how you feel

Wonderful Knowledgeable Service

by KangaRoo

Linette measured me and I finally know my perfect bra size! The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly and the selection is amazing. Every woman (and bring your daughter, too, when it's time) should visit Linda's.

• Pros: Experts at Fitting
• Cons: None

Perfect Place for Large Chested Ladies!

by j1217

This is the place for a person like me - a girl with a large chest who can't find a bra to save her life. Linda's had a handful of different styles and colors to choose from in my size, after measuring me. The staff was great with assisting with all of my needs and questions.

I will keep coming back to Linda's whenever I need new lingerie!

• Pros: Great staff, helpful, good selection

Botched bra service

by leestar2215

The service at this bra salon was more of an inconvenience for me than anything else. First, the store owner told me that I was going to receive my in-store shipment in 2-3 weeks from the purchase date and that I would receive a phone call when it had arrived. When the 5th week had approached and I still did not receive a phone call I went to the store in person. I was told that the owner had just picked up a shipment from the warehouse and that my purchase was in the box, which was parked around the block. When the cashier asked the owner if she could retrieve the bra she said "No I'm busy right now". I remained calm and another worker offered to ship the bra to me for free, so I complied and wrote my address down and I was told I would receive the bra in 2-3 business days. After another week had passed and I had not received the bra I called the store to find out what had happened to my bra and I was told that I never came to pick up my bra and that the bra was never supposed to be shipped to my house. Finally, after a whole host of other problems the bra was shipped to me about 7 weeks after the purchase date and of course the problems did not end there the bra was 2 sizes too big. In addition, the another bra that I had ordered from this store had still not arrived and I found out from the warehouse that the bra was discontinued. I wouldn't recommend this store to my worst enemy.

• Pros: many ranges in size
• Cons: they make careless mistakes

Response from this business

Hello,

My name is Laura, I'm the store manager, and I would like to try to rectify the experience you had at our store. We pride ourselves on great customer service and getting each woman in the right size. I'm sorry your visit was less than stellar.

On average, special orders placed in our store do take 2-4 weeks. This time frame is the norm. However with certain manufactures the time frame is out of our control. For instance, if the manufacturer is out of stock on the item, our hands are tied.

Regarding the shipment I'm a little bit confused, as I'm sure you were too.

Did we simply send the wrong size? Or was the all together wrong size ordered? I really do want to try to help you.

Please contact me at customerservice@lindasonline, using ATTN:LAURA as the subject line.

Have a great day!

Thanks,

Laura

Linda the Bra Lady - Online order

by tinachaz

I found Linda's online while searching the web. I followed the instructions of how to measure to find your fit. I ordered one bra and one pair of knickers. I found that when I got the bra it was one cup size too big and so I returned it for an exchange. I really like the bra and realize how much my existing ones were lacking. I also loved the knickers. For some reason the first package did take longer than expected to arrive but the exchange item arrived quickly. The only gripe I would have is that in order to exchange I had to pay for shipping. It would be better if a return label could be printed from the website. I do plan on getting more bras etc. now I know my size. It does do wonders for the soul to have a bra that looks good and feels good. I recommend Lindas to anyone looking for some great undergarments.

What are you waiting for ladies?

The Backstory:

I am 27 years old with a petite body and a well endowed chest. I always felt that I was in a constant state of "size identify crisis" brought on by bra fitters at Macy's, Victoria's Secret, and various other department stores. How can you be a 36D, 34DD, 32DDD all at once?

The Catalyst:

With the onslaught of fashion shows, bra fitting expose's that proclaim 80% of women are wearing the wrong size, and a particular bad day that included my bra straps slipping off my shoulders at a rate of once every 5 minutes, I decided to take action. I went online, looked up bra fitting, and stumbled upon Linda's Bra Salon in a NY Times article. I contacted Linda's Bra Salon online and made an appointment for me and two girlfriends.

The Experience:

Linda's staff was prompt and friendly in their response to my appointment email. After setting up an appointment, they provided detailed directions and subway options, which helped since we were coming from out of town. Bad weather and traffic caused us to be over an hour late; however, when we reached the store, Linda and her staff quickly accommodated us without a fuss! Linda fitted me personally (how often does the owner of a store tend to its customers), and told me to my utter amazement that my band size was a 30! I did not even know that size existed! She came in with many bras and after going through a couple letters of the alphabet, she dubbed me a 30G with a super sleek Chantelle bra. Ladies, nothing makes you feel more confident and proud of your body, than a bra that fits. My girlfriends were fitted by Linda as well, and found out that they too were wearing the wrong size!

The Conlusion:

It was an uplifting experience for the three of us! Do yourself a favor and go. The fitting is free and fun. Buying bras is the expensive part, but they are investment you have to make for your body. Linda said "You are the lucky ones, there are women who are 65 that have never had a bra that fit."

• Pros: Customer Service, Cozy Atmosphere, Beautiful selection, Proximity to Subway
• Cons: Bras can get expensive!

The best of its kind

by jennwest777

I don't enjoy shopping much and I especially hate trying things on. So the thought of buying new undergarments was daunting. I've gone to so many stores and no one every knows how to fit me. In the long run I spend more money than I need to because I'm constantly buying things that are the wrong size. But not at Linda's. Linda is the best at what she does. She makes you feel comfortable and at home. I went in with an undergarment that was the wrong size. I came out of there with my head held high and feeling much better. It's so true that wearing the right undergarments makes you feel better and having Linda help is the best way to get there. The selection is incredible and there's something for everyone.

• Pros: Service, knowledge of what's right for you
• Cons: Too many styles to choose from
