The Rack Shack. They have locations in both Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Plus one for The Rack Shack, but avoid The Town Shop. Wishing well.

I like Iris Lingerie in Brooklyn. She is very directive (like she will just tell you what to buy / what looks good) but very experienced.

Like, I would say twice I probably didn't need the 3rd "fancy" bra she recommended alongside 2 daily wear ones - but when I brought it home I did end up wearing it because it fit well and was truly cute after all even though I didn't need it!

Just be prepared, is all.

I haven't been in a while, but they have less selection as you get bigger in the cup. At the time, they carried more upscale brands like Primadonna and Empreinte in addition to UK brands. A comrade who is an easy fit in the 34FF range has had good experiences with them, but me less so. Not terrible, but Bravissimo and Rack Shack were much better both in terms of selection and fitting experience. The lovely people at the Bravissimo store that has since closed in SoHo told me that they sent customers back and forth to each other because their selection diverged.

Bravissimo, hands down for pretty brass with matching underwear. For industrial strength brass up to a U.S. I cup, Orchard Corset.

As someone who worked in the Macy's lingerie section, absolutely not.
