Review from Erin G.
Brooklyn, NYI can't say enough nice things about the ladies that work here. I went in and was already expecting failure because my body is a little strange (top-heavy, weird torso, no hips), but they were really fantastic and every bra top I tried on fit like a dream. Apparently I'm a 34E, which is news to me because I've been measured as a 36D at VS about three times. Unfortunately the bottoms didn't, so I ultimately left without a suit, but it was the first time I'd felt secure in a bikini top, and I'll definitely be going back there for a bra.
It's definitely pricey, and I can't afford to constantly shop there, but for once a year to actually buy at least ONE piece of lingerie that fits probably, it's worth it. It helps that the staff is so sweet and attentive. The bra specialist that helped me wasn't even upset when I left without buying anything, and I think I felt worse about it than she did! Hopefully when I go back again I can request her and buy something this time!
I recommend Linda's to anyone who has a difficult time finding lingerie that fits. -
Review from Lauren S.
East Elmhurst, NYSo I've been to Linda's twice now. The first time was mildly disappointing as the selection in my size wasn't very extensive. The girl fitting me was very helpful and apologetic about the selection. That being said, I'm a 36/38 H/HH.... I still walked out with 3 bras...two sexy and on sensible.
I went back today to find a long line strapless for my wedding dress. I tried on three. Found a perfect fit, the girls are up, beautiful as always and I can still breathe in it. I think the girl fitting me was more worried that I'd find what I needed than I was.
I'm losing weight pretty quickly from the stress of wedding planning and I inquired about alterations on the bras I had recently purchased, which they do...I'll be back on payday for some new bras, alterations, and a bathing suit for my honeymoon. I've definitely found my go-to spot for bras, AND they have way better pricing than other specialty shops. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.Comment from Linda B. of Linda's Bra Salon 4/30/2013

Review from Monica C.
New York, NYI too really wanted to love this store, and I guess I did have a greater expectation of the service I received. Lucky for me my good friend ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD is a self confessed bra-fficianardo schooled me the week before how to find the best fitting bra. I learned so much from her, yet this fitter at linda's barely scratched the surface in sharing any 'wisdom'. Having a rather large cup size bra shopping has always been a let down and depressive experience, so it was rather sad to leave Linda's very underwhelmed and also without a bra. Most disappointing was my fitting. The woman kept bringing out granny style bras... HELLO! if i wanted those I could buy from target, so no...i am here to find one that is more my age and cut that was not covering my entire chest and totally unsuitable for my clothes . My requests for a certain style were ignored and after 6 bras I was told there were no more and to come back and try another day. Whens a good time, roughly to come try again?? "I dont know, they dont tell us.. stuff just comes in"... SURELY something like 2 weeks.. 1 month.. SOMETHING would have been helpful to me right then.
So screw them, I went online, found the shape i knew that worked, researched the good from the bad.... then took a gamble. It just arrived and fitted me PERFECTLY.
Thanks for nothing Linda's.... one is better off just doing a little research and shopping online. Cheaper too.
Two stars as I did manage to get a decent sports bra (not what i came for though) ... and could see out the back and they have a bajillion bras so they do have an amazing range, and if you have the luck of getting a decent fitter, I am sure your outcome will be a much more pleasant one.Comment from Linda B. of Linda's Bra Salon 4/19/2013

Review from Jennifer M.
Tucson, AZLinda's (both the store and online) is one of the few places someone like me can go for a bra. I am "lucky" enough that I have a tiny waist but large breasts. Most places that cater to any cup size over D starts at a a 38 band size. Luckily for me I was able to visit Linda this summer and got a new bra in my size. I was wearing a bra size that was wayyyy too large for me. The sales associate was friendly and helpful. The only reason I took a star off is because I felt like she was showing me the most expensive bras. If I had communicated a budget earlier I am sure it wouldn't have been an issue. I will shop at Linda's for all of my bra and swimsuit needs from now on.Comment from Linda B. of Linda's Bra Salon 9/3/2013

Review from Just M.
Brooklyn, NYI walked by this store last night and was drawn in by how bright and lovely it seemed. I got an ok low-back bra from Orchard Corset for my wedding but was interested to see if they had any other options here. Linda fitted me and I found a great Panache piece that felt incredible and looked gorgeous! I was very happy with my experience.
I tried it on with my dress this morning, and it does show in the back (my dress has a deep V back), but I'll figure something out. It's a great piece to have in my wardrobe!Comment from Linda B. of Linda's Bra Salon 7/28/2013

Review from Haley j.
Brooklyn, NYMy boobs may be the bane of my existence. I am constantly adjusting, tucking, holding my purse "near my body" to secretly minimize bouncing as I walk down the street. I'm a tiny girl who got "blessed" with big boobs and a small frame and I hate how it restricts my clothes options and makes me really self conscious.
That said, Linda's changed my life in 24 hours. I have never in my life gone bra (and bathing suit top) shopping where everything I tried on ACTUALLY FIT. I'm tucked, shapely and COMFORTABLE.
Literally, I started crying when I got dressed this morning with my new bra. I have never in my life felt this good and comfortable in my own skin!
As a florida girl turned New Yorker, I've also never ever put on a bathing suit top that looks as great as the one I got at Lindas. I went from dreading my beach trip packing to being super excited to go! The only complaint I can possibly come up with was I wish there were a few more print/style options for the larger tops.... but when I think about how great the cute red top I got is I totally tell myself to shut up immediately.
Victoria Secret has been telling me for years that I'm a 34DD. Linda's put me in a 30H ..... do yourself a favor and GO THERE NOW. -
Review from R P.
New York, NYGreat staff, great inventory. Love them for bras AND bathing suits. Very efficient system that doesn't have you there for hours. Love this place and have referred it many times. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. :-)Comment from Linda B. of Linda's Bra Salon 8/15/2013

Review from Cameron S.
Manhattan, NYCustomer service contacted me and was able to help me find the brand and sizes I was looking for. This was really appreciated!
If you are looking for something specific, I would still recommend talking to a person to make sure it is in stock.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Carla B.
Manhattan, NYThis place is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
Quick FYI - this is not the sort of place where you browse for bras yourself. One of the staff will go into the back and get them for you. Because of this, it's better to make an appointment for a fitting to ensure that you won't have to wait to try on bras.
The staff are very well trained and knowledgable about the female body and fit. They will work with you to try to find a.) your actual bra size and b.) the perfect bra (AND/OR BATHING SUIT!) for your body.
What sets Linda's apart, other than their exceptional service and seasoned staff, is the fact that they cary a wide range of bra sizes. For example, I am a in between 28-30-E, so I cannot shop in run-of-the-mill stores, like Victoria's Secret, for example. For people like me, this place is a God-send. Not only that, but they will alter any bras that you want. So that's ideal if you're in between sizes. AND YOU GET OPTIONS, OMG. Sorry, I seriously never find bras that fit me, so I'm still freaking out about this! :0).
ANYWAYYY, moving on. The best part about Linda's is that it's totally affordable! They have a wide price range, so you can go and get a $45 bra or splurge on a $150.00 dollar bra. It's your choice.
I was also impressed by their bathing suit selection. As someone who is VERY petite but large chested, I could never find bandeaus tops that hook in the back that fit me. I always had to go for ones that tied in the back, and that can get uncomfortable. Here, they cary bathing suits that are bra-like, so I FINALLY got my bandeau with a hook.
I am BEYOND pleased with Linda's and would recommend this to anybody and everybody with boobies. :)
