From the reviews
This boutique is fantastic! The staff was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful in determining my correct measurements and personal preferences for styles and types. Be aware: this is not the place to hunt for budget-friendly options.
I lack patience and interest in clothes shopping, especially for bras. Perhaps I’d feel differently if many things I tried on looked and felt good …but rarely the case. Plus being a caretaker, I don’t have a lot of time. So when my family member needed a bra I took her to Madame Pirie.
I would like to say THANK YOU!!! Today was one of my greatest experiences for shopping for intimate apparel. A big Thank You to Andrea who was professional, courteous and friendly. She really made me feel special and had wonderful suggestions. This was my first time getting a bra to fit correctly.
Life changing, I’ve been wearing the wrong bra my whole life — walked in nervous without and appointment and was fitted immediately and with such knowledge and kindness. I feel like a brand new person. I stand differently and feel so much more comfortable in my own skin.
Plus size bridal & formal at Madame Pirie Famise Corset Shoppe
Madame Pirie Famise Corset Shoppe comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
