I have struggled for many years when searching for bras and bikinis. I've searched countless websites and ordered from several online stores with very little luck. Melmira is best described as amazing. The service is personal and I was made to feel comfortable the entire time. I purchased 3 bikinis during my first time at the store and am so happy with my purchases. They are comfortable, stylish and provide support. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else in the future. The prices are a bit steep but the value is there and it's worth every penny.
I originally heard about Melmira from a number of friends who highly recommended it. I knew they carried high quality swimsuits and lingerie but was always too intimidated to go in. I finally decided to venture into Melmira after a friend of mine went and told me what to expect (book an appointment, be aware that many of the items do not have price tags and that the bras can be expensive - over $100).
I have to say, that this lingerie shopping experience was amazing. They measure you first, have you try on a basic bra and from there pull inventory based on your body type and fit. The great thing about Melmira is that the sales associate brings everything to you. I would try on each piece and my sales associate would assess the fit and from there, pick more items from the back for me to try on. It was so nice to be able to compare so many different ypes and brands of bras for fit - and to have the sales associate there to confirm whether things fit properly or not.
Something to be aware of is that most of the merchandise is not displayed on the floor so if you like to look around and see what is available, then you might not enjoy it (however, it's hard to know if things will fit properly by just looking at it). You will enjoy the experience if you are looking for good, high quality lingerie that fits well and have someone who is knowledgeable on the subject to answer your questions.
I recommend this store to anyone who wants to get educated about proper size and fit when it comes to lingerie. Melmira also carries a lot of brands and a wide range of sizes. It's a good option for people who have difficulty finding a certain brand or their size in other stores.
I wish I had gone to Melmira a lot sooner! I would have saved me a lot of money and misfortune from buying things that don't fit properly.
Melmira was a dream come true! I was met by my fitter, Anna, who took me to my change room and offered me a beverage. I basically sat in this cute room with a vanity-like set up in a robe flipping through a magazine while she shopped for me. Once we tried one bra for size, she asked me a little bit more about what I was looking for. She then went and brought me 4 to 6 bras at a time to my change room. She helped me try on each one and we made a “maybe” pile and she took back the others. For the ones I really liked she would grab the undies for me to try as well. At the end Anna left me to contemplate my maybe pile and she asked me to wave her in for one last round of try-ons on the final items.
The one thing is that none of the items that they bring in to the change room have prices on them, so you don’t know the damage until it’s all over. I was okay with that because I wanted to choose based on fit and not be swayed by price. They cost me $139 and $150.
Another bonus - they offer onsite alterations! I didn't even know that a bra could be altered.
Melmira gets two enthusiastic thumbs up!
