Talbots Intimates

NickNack — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 22:29:41 GMT

I recently ordered a bra from Talbots, and it arrived today. They don't sell them in the stores, but they have free shipping and free returns on bras so I took a chance. I ordered the size I wear in Wacoal bras, and it fit perfectly. It's really a beautiful bra, too. I have a $20 coupon for my next order and will get another one.

In case anyone was thinking about ordering one they are very nice. Time will tell if they hold up as well as Wacoals.

@NickNack I am glad to hear that. I have one in the mail and I ordered the size I always buy. It was what their chart told me I needed also

@NickNack What a good idea about your $20.

I'm really happy the bra worked out well for you. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised; its so hard to find a bra that fits right and is comfy. I may have to try one. Thanks for your review.

@Pearlee It was actually your idea for me to use the $20 on a second bra. When you posted about the $20 card in the mail, I said I had just bought jeans and ordered a bra. You told me if I liked the bra I should buy another one and use the $20. Thank you!

@NickNack LOL - yes, I remember; hence my three similies in my post. I was kidding with 'ya about it being a great idea. Honestly when I posted that the other day, I didn't really think the bra would work out, and you'd be sending it back! I may even use my $20 to try one, given how pleased you are with yours. I've always like my Wacoals, so we have similar tastes.

Now that I think of it thought, I should probably get fitted properly for a bra, which I haven't done in years, before I even think of buying a new one.

I might use my $20 and try a bra. Which one did you all order? I’m pretty busty so I can’t do the one with all the lace, but I looked at the other two and one has underwire and one has hidden underwire and I don’t know which one to order.

@gidgetgh I got the full coverage t-shirt bra. I don't like balconette bras on me and didn't want the lace.

@NickNack - thanks. I’m trying to order that one but it won’t let me use my $20 coupon on it and I don’t feel like paying full price.

@gidgetgh Why don't you call customer service and see if they can use the coupon for you? I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to use it. I won't order another one if I can't use it. That's disappointing.

Ok, I caved. I had a $50 gift card so I got the bra for $4. And I went through ebates for 2% cash back.

@NickNack - it says “promotions excluded”. They exclude promotions on the Keds also. I tried putting the code in, but it wouldn’t take it.

@gidgetgh That is very disappointing. I guess I won't be getting a second one at this time.

@gidgetgh do it over the phone. That is what I did, and I got my $20 discount on the lace bra

My bra came today and fits nicely. It feels comfortable and gives me enough support. ONe thing noticed right off, the wires do not stab me under the arms like breezies and other brands do. They are the proper length. It is a beautiful looking bra

Re: Talbots Intimates

gidgetgh — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 17:39:44 GMT

It’s ok, @cherry I used a gift card for just about all the bra and just ordered a pair of hoop earrings using my $20. Thanks though.

I finally received my bra today. It feels like it took forever to get here, but it didn't.

It's going back tomorrow. Full disclosure here. I wear a 36DD. I ordered my regular Wacoal size. I knew the second I took it from the bag that it wouldn't work. Only 2 hooks on the back (I'm used to 3) for a 36DD seems not quite right, not supportive enough.

Then it had molded cups. The tag says t shirt bra and I guess I got excited and didn't read ANY of the info online closely enough, LOL, but the LAST thing I need in a bra is padding. I have a Wacoal t shirt bra that isn't as padded as this bra.

I put it on and it's the right size, I guess, but the cups actually had a gap at the top. And I knew immediately that the straps are going to slip. I can just tell.

So, it's a no for me. It's a really pretty bra and I liked the soft pink color, but it just doesn't fit right. I'll stick with my Wacoal.

Re: Talbots Intimates

NickNack — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 23:56:12 GMT

I'm sorry the bra didn't work for you @gidgetgh . I agree that two hooks doesn't seem like it would be supportive enough for a 36DD. I'm very surprised it didn't have three.
