From the reviews

10/10 experience. Completely changed my relationship with my body. I have been here a few times now over the last 5 years and this place changed my life. As a girl who has had big breasts since I was in middle school, my bras never felt right.

★★★★★ — Gracie, Mar 2026

My experience here was exactly what I had hoped for! The woman who helped me was so patient, knowledgeable, and honest. I felt completely comfortable and listened to during my fitting and I was able to find a bra that actually fits me and shapes perfectly to my body with adequate support for basically the first time…

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2024

As a fuller figured woman, I've always struggled with finding the right fit in a bra. I made an appointment for a specialty fitting and I'm so happy I did. Laura was so sweet and accommodating. She assisted me with my appointment. I felt welcomed when I entered the store and the aesthetic was sultry and glamorous.

★★★★★ — Rochelle, Sep 2024

Came in with a "NOPE" bra, to show the problems I have had in the past with other overly commercialized stores. She took one look, and instantly identified not only the problems, but how to solve them. She brought me multiple options, and helped me find 3 bras that fit my body to a T.

Plus size bridal & formal at The Perky Lady

The Perky Lady 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.
