Why are they presenting Genie Bras when the ones I ordered when they were the TSV are still on waitlist?

Got two of these on sale-new in box never opened for $10.00. The sizing is way off. Is it me or the bras. I normally wear a s-m but the 3x's fit me fine.

I can't speak to Genie Bras, but the fabric of the Genie camis is rather uncomfortable. It's simply not soft enough. In comparison to competitor's fabrics including Rhonda Shearer, Skinny Tee, Half Tee, Bali, Wacoal I will never again buy a Genie anything no matter how good the price seems. The sizing is fine or me, but I can't stand the thick heavy feel of the knit against my body.

I have several Genie bras that I wear with some frequency (never tried the Genie cami). I found that going up two sizes is my sweet spot. I get support (D cup) and comfort with this approach.

I agree - I love my Genie bras but I buy them in an XL for DD's. After a few washes - they fit perfectly. I even go swimming in my pool wearing my Genie bra - more comfortable than my bathing suit and no one can see me anyway!

I notice this post is from over 2 years ago.

The only thing I can say is I would not recommend ordering anything from the Genie site. My first order for bras from the site went really well. My next order for 4 more was a total nightmare and the bras were unwearable. CS was nonexistent although I did manage to finally get my money refunded.

In the meantime, I bought some Rhonda Sheer bras, brand new from e-bay and realize I really like them much, much more.

CVS has them in the As Seen On TV aisle. They are $20 for two; a nude and a black.

I have only one experience with buying from the Genie website. They were having a crazy good sale ($5/each) so I took the chance and bought 5. My order went off without a hitch in large part because I knew my size. I called customer service to ask about a color that was listed as out of stock and had the most puzzling (and unhelpful) exchange. I'm grateful that my order worked out well.

@Lipstickdiva I also have some of the Ahhh bras. Some I have loved, others not so much. The various Ahhh bra styles fluctuate for me in terms of the support and shaping I prefer.

I ordered during that same sale. My first order with Genie went really well. I went up a size as suggested and the fit was perfect. I was so happy, I even started a thread about the bras. LOL

Then the sale came. I ordered 4 more bras in the same size. They were all so small, there was absolutely no way I could wear them. 2 of them had lace trim and that is not what I ordered. The material was totally different, the straps were wider and had virtually no stretch and they were fuller coverage.

I contacted CS and she told me I should give them to someone else and order myself more. LOL She told me if I sent them back, I was responsible for the return shipping cost and I would not be refunded my original s/h I paid. I was going to let it drop but I figured since I was out the money either way, for the heck of it I sent them back. To my surprise, I was refunded every single penny. My purchase price, my s/h and my return s/h.

I have found with the Aahh bras that the ones that come with the modesty pads are thicker and more full than the ones I have without the pads.
