Busted in Detroit

This is a great establishment with amazing employees who are really passionate about their jobs. I had a great experience being fitted for a strapless bra, and the consultant I worked with was very knowledgable. I can’t believe they’re the only store for bras in Detroit! I will definitely be back. Thanks so much!

I am a fan of a well fitted bra and was not disappointed with BUSTED. I was fitted and served by the owner. I walked away considerably poorer but with The Girls looking amazing!
I will be back…

Name a bra shop in Michigan and I’ve probably been there for a fitting. I’ve probably also been disappointed – until now.
My fitting experience at Busted has been the best because of the comprehensive approach. It’s not just about taking measurements. It’s also about the style of bra for your shape and needs.
The inventory (not just bras) is vast and always expanding. I’m certain most, if not all, customers will find something they love in the shop.
Busted sells quality brands at affordable prices. Some might think it would be expensive because it’s an independent specialty shop, but honestly, you’re likely to pay more for lower quality if you go elsewhere. Buying cheap, ill fitting bras will cost you more in the long run – not just your wallet, but your health as well.
The staff is knowledgeable about fitting and they are very focused on meeting your needs and expectations. Each time I’ve gone, I’ve been presented with several options that met what I asked for.

Here’s the short review: You spend just as much (maybe a little more) than you would spend on a good bra at a fancy department store. Do yourself a favor and get properly sized and buy quality bras from a small local business! She carries sizes AAA-​N cup, bands sized 26 — 56, in all different flavors. There’s something for pretty much everyone.
Here’s the long one: A few weeks ago another bra ran me through with it’s underwire. It was painful and a reminder that my current supply were aging. I haven’t been sized in probably 5+ years. My bras didn’t fit and it showed. I was pinched on the sides and my straps would slip and fall down to my shoulders all the time. The elastic had seen its last days. It was time.
Lee, the owner, was kind as I went through the process of being sized. To say I’m modest about my body is probably an understatement. I think I was bright red the entire time. The process requires your top to be off. Like. All the way. You’re being measured. It’s the nature of the beast. Lee made the experience respectful and not at all awkward. You feel very vulnerable, so I’m thankful for that.
She brought in several different styles as she explained the ins and outs of my outs, as it were. It was very helpful and I didn’t feel pressured or anxious after awhile, which is pretty remarkable for me. Our bodies are shameful and we should hide them at all costs!!! Okay, I know that isn’t true, but this is the place I come from.
I left with two bras and plans to buy more. Bras are an investment, but there’s a ton of infrastructure that’s involved and quality items are expensive. As a consumer we have three choices: a. do no research, buy something cheap, replace it when it’s short lifespan runs out b. do research yourself before buying something to make sure it’s quality c. trusting an expert. Searching online for options was overwhelming and filled with conflicting information. Lee and her company know bras, plain and simple. I would highly recommend them, even to women with a modest body image, like myself. I will absolutely be back.

After plenty of misadventures in online bra shopping, I decided to give Busted in Detroit a try. I assumed that they would not have my uncommon size available in such a small store, since no chain stores carry it. I wish I had dropped in sooner! I was shocked that they had a ton of options in my size. They even had several different styles of nursing bras, from more comfort-​oriented ones to super cute fancy ones. The staff was very nice and I was made to feel comfortable during the fitting (despite being very physically uncomfortable at 9 months pregnant!). I am so glad that this store exists. I have such a hard time finding bras that fit, and shopping here keeps my money in the city!

After being underwhelmed with options elsewhere, I decided to give this place a try.
They insisted on measuring me first and while I didn’t think this was necessary, I let them fit me. I can’t believe I have never been fitted for a bra before; discovering that I was wearing the COMPLETELY wrong size has been a mildly-​life-​changing revelation! Their staff is extremely helpful and I’ve been back since. Their bras are reasonably priced and if you are a large size, they have way more options of supportive bras that are actually cute.
Thanks, ladies!

Even though they were closed on Monday, they were gracious enough to open up for us when they heard the airline had lost my other half’s bag and that she needed some undergarments to make it through our trip.

I went to Busted because I felt that a famous mall-​located chain of lingerie stores just wasn’t doing me justice. Thank goodness a store like Busted exists! I love to shop local, and especially in Detroit. Shopping at Busted lets me do both!
The location was tricky to track down, but a kind security guard on the first floor pointed me in the right direction. I was greeted warmly by Lee when I walked in, and she asked what brought me there. I explained that I wanted to start with a fitting to figure out me true size (explaining my past bra-​shopping experiences) and she set me up in one go the fitting rooms. She made me feel very comfortable as she measured me and told me the size she determined, which was very different from what I had believed from prior «fittings» in the mall. I gained two cup sizes! I felt then that my past shopping experiences where more about fitting as many women into as few sizes as possible, to be profitable. I struggled to find my size at big retailers as I am petite and small-​chested; I felt like a bra-​shopping anomaly. Lee changed that.
She brought in several different styles in my new size and gave advice in fitting them correctly. I felt great in the bras she handed to me! The prices are higher than I am used to paying, but I know I am paying for real quality when I shop at Busted. And style! Lee has some beautiful and adorable bras in stock! I ended up going rather conservative as upcoming job interviews prompted this shopping trip. Though Lee had brought in several very colorful pieces that I said I had to decline, she said that I knew what I was looking for and that was great. «Besides, I will always have cute bras!» she consoled me. And I knew then I’d be back one day to pick on up!
I haven’t made my second trip back yet, but I know I will. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and am proud to be a Busted customer. Now that I landed one of those jobs I interviewed for, I have a paycheck to spend on SOMETHING. Replacing the rest of my mall-​bought bra collection sounds like a decent place to start!

Pros:
Nice store with lingery that is not available anywhere else. They carry two lines of bras from Poland that are very flattering. Pretty as well as practical.
Good prices.
Well trained fitters.
Cons:
Wide range of sizes but not many styles in all sizes and they can’t easily order them in your size. For this reason the sales lady kept telling me to get them in a smaller size and use extenders to make them fit or with another style buy a larger (quite larger) cup. Her insistance was off putting but I must say that she knew the products, and otherwise was very helpful. I would have tried more things if it had not been for this. When checking out the owner was great. I wish they had more things in my size. Next time I’d like a different fitter.
Very good place to shop. it is a new store and I hope they do well.

Let’s get to know each other a little… I’m pretty chesty to the tune of a 32HH. I’m sized out of almost any store I’d been able to find and had resorted to ordering online with terrible results, but I walked in here and found all sorts of things! No grandma bras (although I’m sure they have some stylish ones if that’s what you’re looking for) no uninformed people to fit you, and most importantly, no painstaking searches for something that works let alone is comfortable or stylish.
They walked me into a fitting room, sized me up, and had at least 10 bras I could try on in varying styles, colors, and shapes. I ended up walking out with 3 and wish I could have taken them all. There is also matching underwear to go with some bras if you’re feeling sassy, and, for me, a holy grail… busty lingerie. They even had an incredibly cute nursing bra!!!
If you know what’s good for yourself and your girls (or the ones you want to have) for the love of goodness come in here. I’ve not found people more friendly and passionate about making you feel beautiful in your underclothes than here. Did I mention it’s totally affordable?!

I had the best experience at Busted. I was greeted warmly. After asking a few questions, I was ushered into a fitting room where I was measured. Nicki provided me with several beautiful and comfortable bras in my newly identified correct size. I made my selection and wore my new bra out the door. I will certainly go back again and again. The quality, selection and service is A plus. And to think I have been wearing the wrong bra size for years.

The very best thing a women can do for herself is to have a great custom-​fitted bra! You have to make the girls happy! I have been to many of the popular lingerie stores and department stores for bras. None ever fit me like Busted in Detroit! None. Ever.
I attended a private party for one of my friends. It was so much fun! While eating snacks, each girl was taken one by one to be fitted. Everyone had a fabulous time and got a personal fitting. This wasn’t just your typical fitting where if the store doesn’t stock your exact size, they give you something «close» just to make the sale. Close only works with horseshoes and hand grenades ladies, not bras. The size I was fitted for at Busted was a size I was NEVER told I was in at any other store. Finally, after years, I was correctly fitted! I’m also sensitive to polyester materials and metal and they found a cotton bra with no underwire that is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. It was a dream come true! And the price was even less than I paid at VS, Soma or dept stores! The customer service here is unsurpassed! Lee Padgett and her staff really know their bras.
I was so impressed and loved the bra I got so much, after a couple weeks of trying it out and wearing the same bra every day because I loved it so much, I ordered two more. The store will even mail them to you for a small fee of $ 7. Now that’s service!!!
I would highly recommend every women in the metro Detroit area to go to Busted in Detroit for a fitting. You won’t be disappointed. Heck, have a party and invite all your friends! Make your «girls» happy!!!

I believe the best milestone birthday present you can get a women is a gift certificate for a great custom-​fitted bra, so I was happy to find a place to get a gift certificate. It’s in a great location, bras are reasonably priced and owner, Lee and her staff are super easy to work with.
Last time I was in there, Lee was telling me they have private «bra parties» available. Get your girlfriends together and have a private party after the shop closes (typically 6 — 8 pm), bring in some beverages and munchies and you’re good to go! It actually sounded like a really great idea, so I booked a party.
I had as many as 20 invited, about 12 were interested and available and 10 showed up (I only write that because I think that would be the norm — over invite for more fun)
We were able to bring in embibements and food (bring everything you need, cups, napkins, plates, forks, ice). They had an old school stereo that we were able to play our own playlist, which worked well. One by one, each of my guests were fitted and then shown the bras, underwear and nighties that were available in their size. I think for the most part, everyone bought something, although there was no pressure.
We needed the full 2 hours, mostly because some came late (altho I did think to encourage everyone to come as close to 6p as possible so I didn’t have to have a stranger feeling me up with no friends around). By the time everyone got settled, etc, we didn’t really get going til about 6:30pm
I was really surprised to know that quite a few of my friends had never had a professional bra fitting, and were previously just buying whatever seemed to fit. They were seriously excited to find great bras at reasonable prices.
Those of us with harder to find sizes had limited (but good) choices. That’s the real only downside, although they are always expanding their stock, they are limited in the more difficult sizes — but were able to order whatever was needed.
The new medispa and Peacock Room stayed open for us til 7p, but by the time we all did our greetings and got set up, we really were happiest just staying together so didn’t have the chance to take advantage of their generosity.
We had a great time and were really taken care of. I would definitely recommend it for a get together.

Great, personalized service. They have hard-​to-​find sizes. They even have a play area with toys — I couldn’t get my daugther out of there. Prices were reasonable. Much better than a chain store!

I love this place! Lee Padgett, the owner, gave me a fitting today and hooked me up with three beee-​yooo-​ti-​ful bras. I am an unusual size and it’s impossible for me to shop at most bra stores (like Victoria’s Secret). I came in hoping to find «cute» bras in my size and I left with three gorgeous bras that fit like a dream! The selection here is great and goes all the way from a 30A to a 56K, with cup sizes up to an N. They have bras that fit people like me, with large cup size but a small ribcage. Lee was great and I will absolutely be back next time I need something special!
