Change of Scandinavia

Selection of styles (in terms of fashion and colours, not bra type) is okay. I was hoping it would have more elegant or cute styles. Other than that, the store has a large inventory of plus size bras. As I tend to be on the smaller side, unfortunately, nothing in store fit me. Their smallest size was too small and anything in between, from what they had, didn’t fit me. From what I saw, it seems that they cater more to people with D and up.

My Canadian cousin has been raving that this place would change my life. She was more than correct. The fitting room gal sized me up and found me the perfect fit. It was a pleasant experience and she handled my unruly chest with confidence.
I’m beyond pleased and wish this place existed in the States. I’ll be back!

I went in to find some bras, after having luck at the change in my hometown. The bras the sales lady gave me to try on we’re the worst fit ever. The underwire was nowhere near my chest, the fabric was gapey — no good. She said it was a great fit but luckily I knew better and left.
This store gets 2 stars because they were open on a Sunday, the staff was polite and they ended up pointing me to another lingerie store down the street that was far superior.

I went to Change for a change — I’m really sick and tired of expensive bras that are uncomfortable and don’t fit. Pinching, poking underwires, fabric that’s too stretchy in some areas, too tight in others, «double boob», «back boob» and all of the other fun symptoms of poor fitting bras. Ladies, I’m sure you know what I mean if you’re also wearing these female torture devices.
As soon as I walked into the store I was greeted by one of the employees behind the front counter, and welcomed into the store (check). She asked me if I had been to Change before, and when I said no, suggested a proper fitting (check). Once she had taken all of my measurements, she allowed me to stay in the fitting room and brought all of the sizes and styles to me (check), adjusting her selections to my preferences as we moved along. The result, a perfectly sized breast holster which doesn’t pinch, and won’t bulge in all of the wrong places. Bonus: with ‘European Sizing’, I left feeling like I have Dolly Parton sized boobs.
It turned out that they had a great special on in the store (buy 2, get 1 free), so I left with 3 sets (holsters + undergarments) for $ 180. Realistically, this is no more (maybe less) expensive than Victoria Secret, but I have higher quality, properly fitted bras (check).
As I checked out, I was offered enrollement into the Change loyalty program so that my size is saved, and I’ll probably get emails for future specials, deals and events in the store (check). Also, for the guys — if your lady is enrolled, you can easily go lingerie shopping for her, and they will have her size on file.
A great experience overall, and I will definitely go back.

A friend of mine is on Change’s email list and invited me to shop their big sale with her at lunch today. It’s been a while since I’ve had a specialty bra store I really liked (my favourite closed in 2008 and I’ve been making do with department store brands since), so I was up for checking it out. And now I’m sold! There’s no way I’m going back, especially not at these sale prices. (The more you buy, the more you save – I ended up buying two of the bra I liked best, partly so I’d always have one even if
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, and the quality of the bras on offer seems very good. They’ve got a wide range of sizes, which is great for those of us who wear a small band and large cup size.

The only thing I can buy there is their thongs. They are the most comfortable thongs I have ever owned. They don’t give you a wedgie! ha! Their bras are European sizes so nothing fits me there. Online they have larger sizes but I don’t buy online. The staff are very nice. The store is well kept.

Amazing place if you have bigger boobies like I do! Staff is helpful — hi to awesome girl with piercing in her nose! She opened my eyes — I don’t have size 34E but 30H! Wow! Shock! Passing out! But bra fits amazingly! I bought swimwear, sport bra (i can run and jump! Haha) and normal bra! They have great deals! So check this place out!!!

The store is small but it has great lighting and the bras are all neatly displayed out. I went in and I had to awkwardly wait a few minutes until the sales girl acknowledged me, but she was very helpful. Maybe she was tired? She could tell my cup size just by looking at me and brought out all these bras to try on and they were great. I’ve got an awkward figure but the bras were nice and I was really happy with the ones I chose.
However, I did notice a small rip in one the bras when I took it home so make sure to completely check the bras and take your time.
In the changing room, I overheard all the other sales girl helping other people and they were all friendly and nice.
When I went to purchase them, I realized I forgot my credit card but I was still able to buy them as I just called home for the number. It’s strange though because on the original receipt the total was 134 but on the small bill stapled on top, it says 143. I called and they said come in and we’ll check it out but it’s a far trip so whatever.
They were having a sale so I got two bras and then one free but I still ending up spending a lot! It’s so unfair that the bigger bras cost more, but their prices are about the same as a department store and waaaaay less than those boutique ones so I gotta deal.
They actually had a strapless bra for my size but it was $ 90 so I didn’t buy it: P
I’ll definitely be coming back for some more bras. I want to try their sport ones. Bra shopping use to make me so depressed but now I’m excited for my next purchase!

I came here with a couple of girlfriends. The prices where better than some of the other places in T.O. you can go for a proper bra fitting, but the service was markedly sub-​par. The «fittings» were rushed and not very accurate. The staff wasn’t rude, but were not particularly friendly or helpful, either. And none of the three of us were that impressed with the bras we bought. The quality of the bras were mediocre, and we all agreed that they were not comfortable.

I came here one year ago I guess. I looked for a bathing suit at that time. The sale person was friendly and gave me good recommend. I wish there were more variety of bras. Anyway, I would check it out again.

I’ve known that my bras don’t quite fit right for years, but I thought that that was simply how things are. Change has shown me that that isn’t true. After the salesperson told me my correct size and my eyeballs popped out (cup went several sizes up, band went a couple down), she brought me no less than ten — TEN — bras to try on and apologized that there weren’t more due to the ongoing sale. I ended up with two that fit perfectly, and although they were huge and provided great support, they were still cute. Do you know how rare that is?!
I was also able to buy several pairs of gorgeous panties ($ 3/​pair) as Change was having a store-​wide sale. My bras were also half off.
Love, love, love!

I came to this location, because my friends had given it such rave reviews.
I found the service was lacking, even given I was the only one in the store that Saturday morning.
She did help measure me, and since I was in between sizes, she didn’t even try to find me something that would fit, and was like — «sorry!» and that was that. Maybe it’s because I am smaller.
For now, I guess I will stick with the tried and true at VS.

Normally when I tell a salesperson my size (large cup, small band), she giggles nervously and suggests some store down the street… First time I saw a Change store, I walked in, proffered my size, and waited for the nervous titter.
Instead, I got «Sure!» and shown the most amazing collection of nice looking samples in real-​woman sizes. I was there at the end of a month-​long sale so they had a limited number in my size. «Only» 11.
Most larger bras resemble those leather slings on the front of cars — «car bras.» Change’s stuff is all nice-​looking (though I’d stay away from the embroidered, the patterns show through thinner shirts).
Today I brought a family friend, a large-​chested teen who never had a good bra, in. I introduced her with «I’ve been telling this lady about this new fad, where bras actually fit…»
They whisked her into a room, did a proper fit, showed her how to try them on PROPERLY (no one but Change –ever– does that), and brought her bra after bra. She narrowed it down to two, but could have picked up half a dozen and still left a good few behind.
She then went home and Facebook’ed about the new experience of having a bra that FIT.
So.
— WIDE range of sizes, from the very large to the very small, including most of the odd sizes few companies bother with.
— Well-​fitting
— Both lined and unlined bras.
— A good selection of colours and patterns, as well as standard black, white & nude (covering most people’s tastes).
— A frequent buyer club that means all your purchases are at least 10 per cent off.
— Frequent sales, from buy one, get one half off to 50 – 70 per cent off everything in the store. Their regular prices are a little higher than some, but in three years, I’ve never paid full-​price for anything there.

Change is a bra shop that’s been open for about 5 years on Queen West, but due to the lack of need for a lot of basic T shirt bras, I never walked through the doors. The biggest bit of advice would be to improve the display in the front– make it more obvious what the real draw here is.
I was told about the range of sizes from a tiny but generous friend– girls, you know what I mean?
She ended up with some ridiculous size that I’ve never heard of.
So, today, I walked in and guess what? I, too, walked out with a ridiculous size. I’ve always known most women walk around with an ill-​fitting bra.
Ladies, this place is great at finding at least one soutien-​gorge that will fit. But, you might not get the exact style you wanted, or the color, or the size you think you want. So, hurray for Change, but be prepared to compromise. After wearing it around for a day, my friend asked me why I’m squeeky like poutine cheese. It’s my new bra, I’m not 100% on the fit nor the material its made of. Oh well, better luck next size.

For gals like myself that are blessed in their upper region. This Is the place to go! The sales associates are so nice! They are going to actually size you right and make sure you leave happy! Goodbye Ill fitting bras and hello happy chest heaven! My girls are so happy for their lingerie!

I’ve been to this store several times now and have always received good service. They carry a wide range of sizes and have both a good selection of basics and fashion bras.
Occasionally the quality of the bras can be hit or miss. Change sometimes uses scratchy laces and threads, so it is really important that you run your fingers over every part of the bra to make sure it is smooth and soft. I have bought a few bras without doing this and ended up only wearing them once or twice before I got rid of them — but the bras I have checked over carefully in store have ended up being the bras I wear the most.
Be careful when shopping here (take your time!) and you will end up with properly fitting bras that you love.

At first when the sales girl guessed me at a 28G I was rather offended, mortified and heart-​broken. I wanted to be a C darn it. But man, did I switch my tune after she took me back to the change room to properly measure me and show me the difference a properly fitting bra makes. Two years later I am a devotee and rave the blessings that Change has bestowed upon me, my mom, my grandma, and my friends.
So many lingerie stores cater to the «typical» sizes, y’know anything in a rib size 32 – 36, and in cups from A-​D. But as with most concepts of what «typical» is in the fashion industry, this is of course completely wrong. Most of us seem to be going about with ill-​fitting undergarments that don’t flatter us in the least. But HERE it is heaven. Whatever size you are, they got it or they will get it. I can actually buy cute bras here and I don’t have spillage or look gigantic from super-​molded cups that seem so popular these days.
They even carry swimwear, which for busty girls is awesome. No way am I tossing on a suit that doesn’t have some support. My girly lumps need a lift and some restraint so they don’t go bobbing about everywhere when I try to do anything remotely fun on the beach.
Thank you Change and all the staff for making women’s lives better, one undergarment at a time.

LOVE this place.
I originally went in looking for a sports bra, but ended up coming out with the much cuter sister, the demi bra!
I was instantly put at ease by the girls who worked there, and was asked if I’d like a measurement — YES YES YES!
Who the hell knew I’m a massive D cup, baby!
and 32 around!
I’ve been wearing my bra size ass-​backwards for years and years … here I thought I was a 38B!
The pricing isn’t what I’d consider cheap, compared to La Senza. But the quality is by far superior. All of the undergarments are soft, lush & feel much more substantial than the usual ‘Buy 3, Get 1 Free” bras.
It was also nice to see they had a full range of sizes — including plus sizes.
I also don’t feel like I should have my legs wrapped around a pole wearing these bra & thong sets.
I’m over the days of cheap looking sequin bras, and appreciate a more simplistic, romantic feel everything in the store has.

Rude awakening. That is what I had… and it’s bloody fantastic!
Perhaps some men might read this and think «What’s the big deal? Sure, women look sexy in lacy underwear and bras. No need to have a parade about it.» Well sir… shaddup!
What makes this place stand out?
A) The staff is very helpful, friendly and knowledgable (I learned a lot about what to look for in a bra).
B) Moreso, it’s not just a «How does that feel? Let me know if you need anything. See you at the counter.» These ladies know the value of a good-​fitting bra. Considering I [apparently] didn’t know any better, Racquelle would make suggestions and come back with more sizes to ensure I left as a completely satisfied and fully supported customer.
C) They offer Italian macaroons in the fitting room
D) They offer more than your standard A, B and Cs
For me, there is no need to look any further to replenish my clearly tiny bra collection — and not just because most other bra stores don’t carry anything higher than DD. This shop is a welcoming place with a staff that doesn’t judge… they understand.

I love these bras.
Such a great fit.
Secrets from your sister carries some of their stuff and then they opened an entire store which is wonderful.
Good lingerie is an investment!
