Bare Essentials Plus Inc

This the only place I will ever shop for undergarments these days. All my female family members shop here, and for good reason. This place has successfully built itself a stellar reputation for impeccable customer service and high quality intimate apparel.
I recently had a problem with one of my purchases and my expert fitter took care of it immediately when I returned to the store. On another occasion, I needed a specific undergarment for a dress for a special event across the country. They found the perfect one; I made my purchase and was on my way. When I noticed I had forgotten my actual dress for the event at the store, it was too late to get it myself — the store was closed and my flight was early in the AM. The owner made every effort to get it to me in time — even overnighting it to me in Las Vegas!
It is so clear that they hold the customer in the highest regard and strive to make them feel appreciated. On more than one occasion they have gone the extra mile for me, and it has brought me back to shop here again and again. I highly, highly recommend this place.

I was woefully incorrect about what size I am, the difference in my new bra versus the old is night and day and can be seen in my posture and felt in my reduced back pain. The woman who assisted me was professional and efficient (I think I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes — but there was no feeling of being rushed at all). They have a large selection, and she even offered to order a few bras that they didn’t have in my size just for me to come back and try on. I found what I needed without that being necessary. I am now a huge fan of Freya and elomi, having bought 2 bras of the former and a sports bra of the latter (having been educated that if you have a large bust, any sports bra that can be pulled over your head will NOT be supportive enough, so underwire and hooks it is — but it is very comfortable). My total came to $ 200 even, which is pricey, but also an investment I think — spending less in a department store or VS for something that doesn’t actually fit you is the true waste of money. They take your info and you get a discount on the 6^th bra you buy. I would recommend and will probably return to look at their swimsuits.

This place is great. I am a very odd size in brassieres (can find online but that is a pain bc you have to try bras on before purchase!) and this store not only has my size, they carry Freya which makes a bra style I love. I now only wear Freya. I have one 2 years old in perfect condition; these bras are equivalent to tanks in longevity! The woman who helps me every time I go in is a peach. Actually everyone I’ve encountered who works there is kind and helpful which is refreshing. The items can be costly so you kindof expect excellent customer service but these ladies go above and beyond. I could not buy my Freya bra online but I’d much rather support local business.

This place is great. The staff is very knowledgable. The inventory is terrific. I am going to send my daughter for a visit. I will even pick up the tab!

Stopped in here yesterday on a search for a bra-​sized swimsuit (as opposed to S/​M/​L sizing, which just… never fits). What a fabulous experience. I can’t wait to go back. I got a two-​piece swimsuit with a top that fits better than some of the bras I own, plus a brand new bra in exactly my size. That never happens. These ladies know what they’re doing.
The saleswoman who helped me showed me exactly where to find the bras in my size, but I didn’t even have to browse – she pulled three off the shelf and took me straight to a fitting room to try them on. (If you’ve never had someone else put a bra on for you, you should try it. Makes you feel like royalty.) She was super professional and the entire fitting experience took maybe 5 minutes, max. Found an incredible plunge bra that is not a weird old lady bra (you know what I mean) and couldn’t leave without it… because how often do you get a chance to buy a bra that fits perfectly? Not that often, let me tell you. I wish I made enough money to shop here on a regular basis!
If you’ve had problems finding bras in your size, this store will solve all of those problems in ten minutes, and you’ll be happily on your way to glorious bra comfort for the rest of your days. Seriously, check this place out. Your wallet might be a little sorry, but your boobs will thank you forever.

I love the store, especially the helpful young women who waited on me. What didn’t like was the condescending tone the mature woman had with me. I waited over a month for my order to come in, OF COURSE I’d like to try things on.

Great service with quality items for those of us with the need for more support. Courteous and helpful. Excellent bra fitters. Great follow up.

The price point is high but worth the trip up Route 202 for the Excellent Customer Service and professional fitting. All the sales associates are professional, my favorite is Liz! They also keep a sales & size history for you. They have a purchase incentive plan, purchase 10 & the 11^th is 50% off. They also maintain a «wish list» for you.

If you need to be fitted… find the perfect under garments … or are just a fan of looking your best, this is the ONLY place you need to go… the staff is unbelievably helpful & Heather is AWESOME! I drive all the way from the Jersey Shore to shop here

The Unilocal Community (specifically Aaliyah) led me to Bare Essentials on my search for a good strapless bra. I called them prior to my trip down to the First State and they pleasantly assured me they had what I needed.
I was in the store for maybe 15 minutes. I was greeted as I walked in the door by two associates. I told them I needed a strapless bra that wasn’t full of boning and torture. They showed me to a dressing room and took my measurements. Within 10 minutes, I was done and paying the lovely ladies. I was out $ 70, but honestly, I have paid twice as much for a good bra. Stupid boobs.
Today, I did a test run of the bra. It has been 8 hours and my ladies are still up and I am not in massive pain. It is a success!

I had my first bra fitting done at Bare Essentials when they were still over by Claire’s on Philadelphia Pike — it was a fabulous experience. The woman who did my fitting was knowledgeable both about fit and about their merchandise, and I left with three bras that lasted me for years.
In August I went with my mother to the new location — it had been a while since I’d had a fitting done, and she wanted to check out the store. It was a terrible, terrible experience.
The woman who did my fitting asked if my mother was «okay» with the way I looked, and if I didn’t want to go for a «more wholesome look.» This was not only awkward and inappropriate, but totally bizarre — I am a 23-​year-​old woman and I was wearing jeans and a t-​shirt. She measured me as a 34 band, and apologized because she wasn’t sure that she had a single 34 in the store. This was simply not true. I found literally dozens of bras in my size throughout the store. She also gave me one measurement, and then came back only with bras a full cup size smaller. They weren’t sitting flat in the middle, I had full-​on quadraboob, and she was trying to pass them off as bras that fit!
Then — my favorite part — I said I would have to think about the bras (rather than saying «I am uncomfortable and unsatisfied and want to leave right now,» as I probably should have). She decided that I couldn’t possibly make a decision without my mother seeing them first, and ushered my mom into the dressing room with me. I really, really did not need my mother to see me spilling out of a too-​small bra, and I’m pretty sure she didn’t want to see it either. Disastrous.
I’m giving it two stars because the selection is wonderful, especially if you are a hard-​to-​fit/​bigger size.
