I was so disappointed in Dillard's today. They're having their semi-annual bra clearance sell (yay! cheap bras if you fit into their size range), so I stopped by to see if I could fit into anything in a larger band, smaller cup to make due until I can buy something more expensive...unfortunately, the sales lady measured me on top and then deemed me a 36H (and then brought me a 38J to try on and claimed it was a great fit)...so disappointed considering I normally wear a 32 band, 34 at the most. I even mentioned that the band felt loose and instead of going up in the cup and down in the band (they did actually have one available on clearance, it was $10)...she proceeded to tell me I could always just tighten the band. I don't know what happened, they must have realized that they don't offer low enough band sizes to satisfy most customers and switched their sizing methods which is not good considering most of my breast tissue is on top so it's nearly impossible to get an accurate measurement from me that way. At the very least, their sales lady's should know what an M-N cup is...not say they've never heard of those cup sizes before. It's 100% okay for them to not have anything I fit into but they should at least be informed!!!! She even knows about the local specialty shop that has larger sizes yet knows nothing of the sizes they have available. IF I worked there, I'd want to have plenty of information so that my customers knew they could come ask me questions (and potentially purchase other things) if they needed it...even with the bad experience...I still bought 4 bras all between the price of $10 and $20.

  • Dillards is frustrating because they actually carry Freya and Fantasie online, but do not carry the larger cup sizes or smaller band sizes. What's the point!

  • do you HAVE to deal w the sales women? or can you just pick them up off the rack? I hear so many horror stories. but as a 32J, i dont even bother except in boutiques and online
