I was recommended to go to the Bra Patch to find a bustier to wear under my wedding dress. The shop was dingy and run down and the owner didn't even acknowledge my presence for about ten minutes. She was busy helping other customers, but the least she could have said was ""I'll be with you in a couple of minutes."" When she finally decided to help me, she put me in the changing room, measured me, pronounced me a size, criticized the bra I was currently wearing (it was laundry day, what does she want from me?) and brought out a bustier. She didn't even finish putting it on me before she said it was too big and she went and retrieved a smaller size. The smaller size made me look HORRIBLE. It was way too tight, and when she removed it, I had marks on my skin. She didn't ask me what I was looking for in a bustier (namely, one that I can breath in but that supports me) she just expected me to buy the one thing she let me try on. I told her I'd have to come back with my dress to try them on together and high-tailed it out of there. I'm not going back.
Pros: large sizes
Cons: limited selection, rude service, dingy shop
