Change Lingerie

Came here with a friend after finally deciding that I wasn’t gonna put up with the inaccurate and improperly informed service of big brand bra stores any more. No, I wanted a bra that actually fit properly. After lurking on the ABraThatFits subreddit community, I went to the commonly recommended Change Lingerie to find that mythical well-​fit bra.
We were instantly greeted and introduced to their store. The staff doted on us for over an hour, walking back and forth between the change rooms and the large selection of bras and swimsuits, helping us find the right sizes and styles. They were extremely friendly, informative, helpful, and patient. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
The bras are around $ 50 – 60 each, but I hear that they often have sales or deals. When we went, they had a «Buy 2 items, get 1 free» special. I left spending $ 180 on 6 quality items. No regrets. Even if you don’t think a bra itself is worth that much, consider that the excellent service they provide you at this store absolutely is.
I highly recommend you visit and get a free fitting. You’ll likely be surprised by your new band and cup size. No, it’s not a trick, it’s not vanity sizing, it’s your true size. This is because cup sizes are relative to the band size. A 30D and a 36D hold nowhere near the same in «boob volume» (not a real term). They are not the same cup size! No more fruit comparables bulls – t.
Like another reviewer, I also feel more secure, confident, and sexy now that there’s no longer like an inch of separation between my bra and my breast, and I’m no longer constantly readjusting my shoulder straps.

Excellent experience purchasing a proper ‘grown-​up’ bra!
At 28 and 27, my sister and I realized that our mom was still buying our bras. Neither of us live at home, but our mother seemed to have an uncanny sense of timing and would show up once a year with a couple of pairs for each of us.
As my sister was getting sized, we discovered our mom had been buying us the same WRONG size and we were immediately transported to memories of matching outfits, high pony tails, being mistaken for identical twins… but I digress.
Julie was knowledgeable, attentive, and put us at ease being partially exposed in those dressing rooms! After discovering our proper sizes (a 28 °F & 32D — how wrong my mother was thinking we were both 32 B) we were disappointed that neither of us could find a pair on sale in our size :(hence the deduction of a star. There were bras on sale left and right for $ 10, $ 15, $ 20, and $ 30 but alas we were out of luck.
Julie recommended the Lissi bra for daily use and oh boy, talk about falling in love. Neither of us expected to get so excited about over-​the-​shoulder boulder-​holders but there we were, admiring our well-​supported and sexy, lace-​clad knockers.
It was more than we wanted to spend (each Lissi costing $ 59 on sale) but it felt like a good investment. I would have wanted one in black AND white but my budget dictated that I could only take one home. I will definitely return for you, black Lissi! Mark my words, you… shall…be…mine *evil laugh*

While on vacation in Vancouver I decided to get a proper bra fitting. This is the first time in my life that I have ever had a bra that fits properly. I can’t believe how different it feels. The girls are sitting high and it even feels like a lost a couple of pounds, but I know I didn’t. Unfortunately, they told me they do not sell bras online and they told me that their sizes do not translate to US sizes. So unless I make a trip back to Vancouver from the US, I will have to wear the three I bought until they are threadbare.

This place is amazing. I’m 29 years old, and this is the first time I’ve owned a bra that fit properly. The woman who helped was awesome, the bras are awesome, and affordable, and I am just thrilled!
If you are a petite woman with big boobs, this is the place to go.

I am converted!
I had heard from a few fellow busty friends that this store was amazing so I went in to see what all the fuss was about. The women were incredibly helpful and not pushy at all. She made many trips to and from the dressing room to find the right size and style for my body type and bust. I ended up buying 2 swimsuits and the total only came to $ 77 (my last swimsuit purchase from la vie en rose was $ 80 for one and never looked as good as these ones do)!! I was shocked and delighted! I feel secure, confident and sexy. I will never shop anywhere else!

Have never bought a bra here, but love their undies and pj’s !!!

I won’t go anywhere else, a decision I made years ago. Trips to other stores just end in frustration.
Incredibly helpful staff; they’ve searched and searched for bras on sale in my size and preferred style. And even the bigger cup sizes are pretty, unlike the utilitarian grandma bras you find other places.
The only reason they lose a star is that my more recent purchases just don’t last as long as they used to; the underwires pop out. I bought some balconettes years ago that are still intact, albeit a little stretched out, that I wear around the house and under sports bras, but newer ones have more quickly bitten the dust.

Great customer service. Very respectful and helpful. They make sure you’re satisfied with your size and purchase. Go here! It’s better to get 2 well made bras than 8 poorly constructed ones.
They are kinda pricey but I went when they had a sale and it was totally reasonable.

This store is the bomb. The girls are friendly, helpful and never push you to make a purchase. They really know their boobs and how to fit you — who knew I was a 32 DD and not a 36B? Their professional demeanour left me feeling very comfortable standing there while a complete stranger inspected my fancy-​bra wearing rack. I went in to hang out with a friend while she shopped, and ended up leaving with 2 perfectly fitted bras and 2 swimsuits.
My bras fit perfectly. My swimsuits fit perfectly. My girls are comfortable AND sexy. Thank you, Change. I will never shop anywhere else.

I love change for the quality, customer service, and price!
The bras are great quality — I’ve got…8 bras I think from change and only one has had the wire snap (it’s one of the oldest, and my most favourite one too). My favourite bra «style» they sell is the Plunge. This bra makes my (small) girls look great! And an added bonus — you can wear the straps three different ways and the racer back way gives even more support!
I’ve been to both the Cambie street location and the metrotown location. The girls at both locations are always very helpful and nice — i’ve never really been pressured to purchase anything.
And their prices! Maybe a little bit more expensive than La Senza when not on sale but they always have some sort of sale going on!
I’ve recommended this place to many friends — it’s really time to leave La senza behind and try purchasing from a store that sells bras for real women (all different shapes and sizes!).

The manager helped me with a bra fitting and I changed from a 38D to a 36E, which made it a cinch to find six bras I love in the next 20 minutes, along with matching panties. For $ 263 including tax, I came away with six brilliantly comfy pretty bras, and 9 pairs of underwear. Wow! Definitely will return.

For affordable, beautiful lingerie and excellent customer service, Change is the place to be. My first visit to Change Lingerie was about three years ago, when my friend decided that she wanted to go lingerie shopping. Little did I know that I would end up leaving with three new sets of bras and underwear. Funny how that happens sometimes.
Upon entering, the friendly salesperson greeted us, and offered to take our measurements. When she asked what size of bra I was wearing, I told her 36-​D. I will always remember her response: «Oh honey, you are NOT a D.» Sure enough, after measuring I was upgraded to an F. Shocking, yes, but the fit was incredible. You always hear about women wearing the wrong bra size, but I never realized the difference it made. My clothes fit better, my posture was better –it was a miracle.
If you’re looking for a place to buy some new lingerie, skip La Vie en Rose and La Senza, and head to Change. You will leave with much nicer stuff, and you won’t have to forgo a week of groceries to pay for it.

I really love this store. The quality of the product is great and the prices are reasonable. I like how the staff fits you for bra’s, and the European style of lingerie.
Much better than LaSenza, LaVeLaRose, or any other big box store.
:)

Mix n match panties.
nuff said. I’m a guy.
but I know I’ll love to shop here for the lady, if she comes with me to model.

I am really impressed! My teenage daughter asked if we could get her fitted for a bra as she wasn’t sure what size she was. When I checked on Unilocal I was convinced by Tina H’s review that this was the place for us. It was definitely the right choice.
Taking a teenager shopping can sometimes feel like a punishment and I wasn’t sure about how this more delicate of experiences was going to pan out. Well the young woman working the store (I believe her name is Rachel) was brilliant. The fact that she was young and funky probably put my daughter at ease right away. I got to stay out of the way while the fitting and then the assessing of the first bra went down. Once the size was determined (and yes we never would have guessed) came the fun part for me of helping to find pretty bras to try on. She narrowed it down to two then Rachel asked if she’d like matching panties. I’d had wine at brunch so my defenses were down and what girl wouldn’t want matching lingerie?! Imagine my surprise when these gorgeous European items were rung in and it came to $ 50 with tax — TOTAL?! OK, so there was a sale on but even still the bras were all under $ 40 regularly from what I could see. I actually thought those WERE the sale prices and was expecting to pay double that.
If I hadn’t needed to get home to make dinner for company I would have stayed and got myself fitted and purchased some beauties for myself. Now my daughter’s on their mailing list I’ll make sure to find out when the next sale event is. This is a ‘change’ for the better in my books.

WARNING: «Objects in brasier are larger than they appear»
That should be the store slogan! Their excuse is they sell European sizes, which are smaller than North American. Sure, whatever you say! I thought I knew how to buy a bra, but all I know is their bras fit me perfectly after helpful associates size me up.
I came here trying to find a strapless bra for a dress I bought because it was the closest bra store to me. I didn’t know I was gonna learn that the bazookas I’m carrying are actually F-​bombs, which is what I quickly started calling my rack as soon as I learned I’m an F cup there! BOOM!
Most women wear the wrong bra size. This is not only because so many women don’t know how to fit themselves for a bra, but because most stores don’t carry bra sizes for all women. Most traditional stores sell only as small as 32 and only as big a cup size as DD. If you are bigger in the bust and/​or smaller in the frame, like myself, you would probably LOVE this store. Not only do they tell you what your real size is, but they most likely have a bra to fit you.
I learned that if your bra rides up in the back it means that your band is too loose (which means you should go down in the number size). That’s fine and dandy unless you’re already at a 32 at LaSenza, as they won’t tell you that you should shop somewhere else because they don’t carry your size. I didn’t know this, I thought that because I was petite and busty I’d never find a bra to fit me properly. I didn’t know that it was a problem with the stores I was visiting, I thought it was me, but Change definitely «changed» that perspective! The truth is that not everyone can shop at LaSenza and Victoria’s Secret, and thank goodness there are stores like Change!
I’m sure even women who shop at traditional lingerie stores may be pleasantly surprised upon visiting Change. Their associates really know boobs, no doubt about it! They’re really friendly and helpful. The bras they put me in really fit properly, I could tell by the fit and that the band in the back didn’t ride up. They are much more helpful than at LaSenza.
Change is like a breath of fresh air if you ever thought your boobs were awkward because nothing ever fit right at your run-​of-​the-​mill lingerie store.
Shopping here is empowering almost, to let you know that your boobs are the bomb and you CAN find a bra that fits right! I would definitely recommend coming here!
