Elegance Underneath

I’m always happy to come and get new bras. They have always had my size. I like the styles and colors of the bras.

A great fitting bra is a must for me and I cannot say enough about this place. Dawn (the owner) helped me out today. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable during the whole fitting process. I will definitely be returning!

I love this place! I can not say enough good about the selection of bras and knowledge of staff! Dawn the owner is beyond knowledgable about her products and ability to fit woman individually. I have been here twice now… currently living downtown, I traveled to specifically get 2 new bras. Dawn keeps record in her computer of past purchases and overall experience is fast and painless. Her bras and fittings have honestly changed my life and the way my clothes fit/​look.

I really liked my experience here. The lady was friendly and did her best to make me feel comfortable with her in my Tata area. We chatted about her life and my upcoming vacation. I just started my Spring cleaning and I came across a letter from her-​thanking me for my business and asking how my vacation went, that’s the kind of small details that will get me coming back. I do wish that they carried the Enell sports bras, but she managed to find me some nice things. My favorite bra that I got from there was actually one that she discounted for me. Love it!

Bought a great wool mix a-​line sweater with one button to replace my old «grandpa» standby sweater. Great undergarment selection and nighties. There’s a few other accessories as well. Will need to come back to take a closer look!

This could possibly be a landmark for nude lingerie in the burbs. Now, I’m not normally a sensible kind of person, I tend to lean towards the outrageous, colorful, flirty types of lingerie and was a taken aback by the selection until I motored over to the sales racks.
Separated by size, there are several different styles from demi to full cup, lacy to padded. Now, being completely OCD crazed when it comes to having matching tops and bottoms, I scoured through the sale items and found myself more in tuned with the nighties than the intimates (only because the buttercup yellow demi was cute as a button, but was missing a matching bikini). Not that there weren’t nice items because there were lovely pieces but my mind was set evening style.
Prices range depending on what you’re looking at. For a colorful demibra you’re looking at spending some dough, depending on the brand, but given the sales it knocks it down a good amount. The nighties and evening sets are considerably affordable and very cute and flattering. Though I didn’t walk out with anything, I definitely walked out with an idea of the merch that is carried and some of the pieces that could easily be added to an undergarment collection.
Donna was a love and offered great offerings including a proper sizing but for the fire in my wallet I was looking for something a little different for this visit. I’ll keep Elegance on the radar as their sales are hard to beat.

Best place to go for a bra fitting. They have a lot of styles and it is full service. They measure and bring you options and in my instance they got me a bra and accessories that made it more comfortable, and lingerie wash.
I would recommend this over a department store (like Macy’s) where there is usually only one sales person and that person may or may not know anything about how to measure and fit.
They are pricey compared to an exceptional department store sale but not compared to Victoria’s Secret.

I was in need of some underthings that were ideally both practical and pretty, and I’d heard of Elegance Underneath, a purveyor of lingerie in my very own Naperville, so I took a look.
I was assisted by Teri, who fitted me, found suitable styles in the right sizes, gave tips on how to put the bras on best (I of course knew to scoop the girls into the cups, but she suggested to jiggle the whole cup to settle things once it was on), and provided other tips I didn’t know (i.e. don’t wear the same bra two days in a row, to allow the elastic and spandex in the bra to rest and thus extend the life of the bra).
This boutique is definitely upscale, both in atmosphere and price. The bras that I tried ran about $ 70 – 80 and the knickers were in the $ 50 range. Very nice brands and styles, though heavy on beige if you look at the wall where they’re mostly displayed (Teri told me what styles came in other colors, and they can be special ordered if they don’t carry them on-​hand, but I wanted to make sure I liked wearing them first).
I should say (though it’s probably inferrable from what I’ve said above) but if you’re bothered by strangers being all up in your business, this type of shop won’t be for you. This isn’t the sort of place where they’re handing things over the dressing room door to you; you’re sans top and the fitter is helping you try things on. We all have different comfort levels, so this may be too much for some, but it’s of course professional, and helpful too, since you can get in and out of the bras a lot faster than if you were trying to latch and unlatch them all yourself.
I found some items that suited my needs and made my purchase; a few days later, I received a Christmas card in the mail from Teri thanking me for my business and including a coupon. This rounded out the experience nicely and went the extra mile.
Elegance Underneath also offers post breast surgery products for those who require such services.
Overall, an elegant experience.
