Okay. So I've needed new bras for quite some time. Wearing ones that were really uncomfortable and yanking them off practically as soon as I walked in my door. But where do people purchase bras locally? I knew that if I tried ordering online, I'd have to do the order/try on/return merry-go-round. Occasionally, I would buy one or two at Target, but was never happy with them. Many years ago, buying lingerie at Victoria's Secret was a true treat with classical music playing, and an atmosphere more like a bridal salon. Next thing I knew, there were bins of underwear, they were focused on selling sweatpants with things written across the backside and the perfume was migraine-inducing. I decided to brave one of our few department stores. (I hate department stores). While the staff was extremely pleasant, I was disheartened trying to find what I thought was my size hidden in stuffed racks, while trying not to knock everything on the floor. Nothing stood out to me. Was finding a bra that didn't dig into my underarms, but that was also some semblance of pretty, impossible? Was I at the age where I needed be satisfied with matronly underwear? I grabbed what I could, went to the dressing room, and bought what I thought was as good as I was going to get. At the start of my journey, I had planned on going to downtown SLO, but I had passed the department store first. Now I was debating with myself whether I should call it a day (I hate clothes shopping), or run into town just to see what they had. I really figured I would drive over,decide not to bother, and drive right through. As luck would have it, I saw a parking space just a few yards from Fanny Wrappers. Fanny Wrappers. I hadn't been in in years. The place where they will assess you and make sure you get a perfect (and I do mean perfect) fitting bra. Why had I stopped? Yes, they are a bit more expensive. They carry brands I've gotten on sale elsewhere and brands that I looked at online, but felt were a tad out of the practical price range. The thing is, you will have someone who will use their expert experience to find what you are looking for. THEY will search their stock for your perfect size. THEY will get it for you. THEY will assess each item and tell you if the fit is off a by a fraction in spots I never considered. So I bought. And I bought some more. Bras that I could almost sleep in. No pinching, gapping, or pulling. And ladies and gentleman, they were PRETTY. I don't know about you, but I I work a pretty physical job. Getting dirty is normal for me. I LIVE simple and practical, but it's nice to know that the foundations will be attractive. Best of all, at least 2 that I bought were on sale and Fanny Wrappers has a frequent buyer card that (I believe) allows your to get your seventh bra free. One of mine was free today. So, it was a bit of an investment, but I figure that I am set for a couple of years. They also had pajamas of the comfy and sexy kinds, and toys of the bedroom kind. Thank you Emily for your amazing customer service. I don't plan on bra-shopping anywhere else.

I had a fantastic experience! This is my first time ever visiting here. I went in, looking for a specific bra for a specific style of dress. The really sweet gal at the counter on 4/6 around 1:30pm was awesome! The bras are really expensive but she allowed me to try three on before. She honestly told me that maybe we should just go with the tape to lift my breasts in the dress which was about 3 times cheaper. And Retail world, you are constantly trained to upsell upsell, upsell the customer. This was by no means downsizing for the stores quota. This is legitimately amazing customer service, because I still spent a decent amount of money in there, and I'll go in again because she was so cool and helpful. She was honest, she listened to my needs, and we were on the same page. Here's the deal. Had I bought the almost $80 bra, I would never go back in there again. I don't even spend that kind of money on Victoria's Secret. I can buy two bras at Victoria's Secret for that price. BUT... it's really cool, very quaint, a lot of lingerie and a little section for fun pleasures (wink wink) but yeah, I would've just thought they were too expensive and the one time was enough for me. Because I enjoyed the experience so much, I would actually go in there to support any time. I'll be back! Staff is well trained and very cool :) and in their pricing defense, the bras that I tried on did seem like they had a little bit more grip on the body, that any Victoria's Secret bra that I've ever tried on. I'm sure they have the reasons for their prices. Check them out! You won't be disappointed :)

Very helpful salesperson. Found a bra in my size which is hard to find. She fitted me correctly. Bought a robe and nightgown. Clean well stocked store. I'd return when in the area.

Great service from some lovely people. They helped me with measurements (definitely needed a new bra size!) and helped with finding me bras in my new size. Their merchandise is all gorgeous! Do recommend!

It's a little embarrassing, but I hadn't been fitted for a bra forever, and had just kept ordering old faithful online year after year. Problem was old faithful wasn't doing much for me. Spent half and hour here with an extremely knowledgeable and patient expert and walked out with seven new bras that I absolutely love in a size that I never would have guessed that I wore. It was ok to not know what I wanted or needed on the way in, because I sure had it on the way out!

In an ideal world, I would allot zero stars. The sales representative with obnoxious green streaks in her hair has sale techniques as flagrant as her appearance. On two separate occasions she misjudged both my income and my body shape. During the most recent encounter, I went with a friend and the stark contrast of our experiences left a disdain and bitter aftertaste. While in the store she only asked to hold my items behind the counter, she only suggested I try on the merchandise before purchasing, and only reminded me of the 2 week exchange policy. I am a similar size and shape as my friend, but I wore baggy and comfy clothing and for this I was treated distinctly differently. In a world where amazon offers anything and everything, customer service is what allows these boutiques to stay in business. By allowing an employee who demonstrated such discrimination, Fanny's can take responsibility for not only the increased preference of online shopping but also the general frustration with the obtuse vision of lingerie stores.

Beautiful lingerie and really helpful staff. I was going to just buy some items and the staff made sure I loved everything I was buying before ringing up my purchases.

It's really annoying when stores always close early especially 10 minutes early when you know exactly what you're going in to go buy.
