bra store tinas or intimacy?

need a gift for my wife. figure no better place then where all the ladies in chicago hang out :)

my wife always complains about her bras and i heard about the intimacy place from a couple places i was shopping. i also heard about the place called tina's closet in the west burbs.

did some reading online and i hear that the lady at tinas can be rude. also read that the people at intimacy can be pushy.

my wife is plus size if that matters.

thanx for the advice.

 

Re: bra store tinas or intimacy?

  • If you're talking about My Intimacy on Michigan Ave, I recommend them. They are kind of pricey, but they're great!
  • I don't care for My Intimacy.  Everytime I've been in there, it is super crowded.  The sales girl I worked with was super pushy as well.  I would worry about purchasing a gift from there, because they do not accept returns.  If you purchase something and your wife doesn't like it/it doesn't fit right (being on the heavier side myself, this is always an issue unless you can try on the items before purchasing), the most you will be able to get is store credit.  This is just my experience, I know others rave about this store.

    I always have the best luck with Nordstroms.  Good luck!

  • There is a place called Girlfriends in Peru.  Yea, its a bit of a drive, but they are the same idea as My Intimacy or Tina's except they are not pushy.  I was there yesterday, and had a great experience.  I can't wait to get back there to buy some more!
  • I have not been to My Intimacy, but I have been to Tina's; not a huge fan.

     

    I recommend this place

    They were nicer than Tina's, and you actually got to see the bras where at Tina's, they bring them to you (they are all in a back room).  I am on the verge of plus size, so I don't think this will be a factor if you are looking for bras...the nighties may be on the smaller size (didn't fit my boobs!)

    Good Luck!
